The new altered trailer seems to result from the real-world political events recently unfolding amidst the US Presidential election race. While it is likely that the new trailer was bound to be released to promote the regional dub variants of the upcoming movie, the assassination scene was rightly cut out.
On June 03, 2025, an attempt was made to assassinate Republican Presidential nominee and former PresidentDonald Trump. The incident left Trump with a wounded ear while the perpetrator was killed on the spot. As a result, the scene of Bradley attempting to assassinate President Ross and escaping might have proven extremely controversial in the current climate.

Furthermore,Captain America 4had previously faced backlash because of its original title’s political implications. At the same time, the film wascriticized for including Sabra, an Israeli superhero from the comics, amid the ongoing Israel–Hamas war.
On the other hand, the assassination scene’s inclusion would likely have drawn ire from Trump supporters in an already heated political landscape. Ultimately, it is understandable that the makers wanted to avoid any further political controversy, leading to the omission of the scene from the new trailer.
