Liv Tyler has opened up about joining Captain America: Brave New World, marking her return to the screen after a five-year hiatus from Hollywood. In a recent interview with Extra, the renowned actress, known for her iconic role in The Lord Of The Rings, shared insights into her decision to step back into the limelight. Tyler recalled her surprise when she received the call about the Marvel project, stating, “I got a phone call saying, ‘[Marvel Studios President] Kevin Feige wants to speak to you.’” After previously appearing in The Incredible Hulk in 2008, she expressed her thoughts saying, “I said, ‘Well, doesn’t he want to see me? It’s been a long time!’ So they asked me to come back. Just the whole thing.”
Explaining her break, the 47-year-old actress noted, “I’ve taken a break from acting for the past few years, and I’ve been home with my children.” She further highlighted the positive impact of returning to work: “And it was just such a lovely way, after COVID and everything, to come back to something so special.” In this highly anticipated film, Tyler stars alongside a remarkable cast including Harrison Ford, Anthony Mackie, Seth Rollins, Shira Haas, and Giancarlo Esposito. “The family, and the character — it was sort of a perfect way to lure me back into remembering how much I love acting,” she added.
Captain America: Brave New World is set to hit theaters on February 14, 2025, and marks a pivotal moment not only for Liv Tyler but for the Marvel cinematic universe, which continues evolving with exciting new stories and beloved characters returning to the forefront.
