Frank Grillo Grills the MCU

Marvel StudiosSpeaking in a new interview, Captain America: The Winter Soldier star Frank Grillo had some choice words about his time in the MCU.
Grillo told ComicBook.com"s Chris Killian that he was disappointed with his Crossbones character in the MCU, noting that "Crossbones was there for a minute," but "he was supposed to be there longer:"

“They never told a story [about Crossbones]. The mythology of the MCU and just what Marvel has in its pool of characters, it’s so deep. Crossbones was there for a minute, but he was supposed to be there longer, then they went the direction they did.”

He pointed to the number of "people around the world [who] have responded to Crossbones" and " there’s more there [to explore]:"

“I think Crossbones serves a purpose, but I think the interesting thing is that if you see how many people around the world have responded to Crossbones, and again, he’s on the screen for a very f--king short amount of time, I think there’s more there."

This comes as Grillo revealed he will be joining the new DCU under DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn.
