Octavia Spencer doesn't appear in Captain America: Brave New World, so why did director Julius Onah thank her in the end credits?

As Onah, 42, tells PEOPLE, Oscar winning actress Spencer, 54, is simply a "great supporter of his work" as an actress and a friend. The pair previously worked together on his 2019 movie Luce, in which she portrays a high school teacher who develops an unnerving conflict with one of her students. Her name is included under the "special thanks" section of Brave New World's credits, alongside five members of Onah's family, the Stan Lee Foundation and Marvel icon Stan Lee's daughter JC Lee.

"Octavia's the greatest," Onah says. "I'm such a fan of hers, and when the conversation was being had about this film, she put in some kind words for me with Kevin Feige and had spoken to [Anthony] Mackie as well. She's just a genuinely kind, incredibly talented human being, and I wanted to really acknowledge what a great supporter she's been of me and other filmmakers in the past. There was no way I was gonna miss the opportunity to say thank you to her."

With Brave New World, Onah directed Mackie, 46, in the star's first full-fledged movie as Captain America. His character Sam Wilson picked up the shield from Chris Evans' Steve Rogers in 2019's Avengers: Endgame and more formally assumed the role at the end of the Disney+ miniseries The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. The movie also paired Onah with an onscreen hero of his in Harrison Ford, whom Onah describes as "mind blowing" to get to work with.

Mackie's character is expected to return for the two forthcoming Avengers movies. Meanwhile, Onah also teases future collaborations with Captain America star that may take the pair away from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

"I've had a lot of conversations about jamming again with Anthony," he says. "There's things that he and I both wanna do together that don't necessarily involve a shield, but he's an actor I just respect and admire so much. So one way or another, he and I will be tag teaming again."

Captain America: Brave New World is in theaters now.

Dwyane Wade feels 'strong and healthy' after cancer battle
Dwyane Wade feels "strong" and "healthy" after his battle with cancer. The 43-year-old former basketball star - who is married to actress Gabrielle Union - had a cancerous tumor removed from his kidney in December 2023 and he's now explained he's "free" of the disease almost two years after his shock diagnosis. During an appearance on 'Today with Jenna and Friends', he said: "It was cancer [but] it was only Stage 1. "Thank God that we caught it early. Now I’m back. I’m strong, I’m healthy. I feel great. I’m just a little more cautious ... "[I'm taking more time to] look around and really smell the moments in life [and] appreciate it all just a little bit more. I feel like one of the lucky ones. I’m cancer free." During the interview, Dwayne explained he initially saw a doctor as a precaution because both his father and grandfather had been diagnosed with prostate cancer - and he was blindsided by the results of the tests. He said: "I just started to be like, okay, well this is probably a part of my genetics and my history, let me go get checked out. When I turned 40, I went into the doctor and I was like: ‘Listen, I want to know everything.’ And in the midst of that, I was like: ‘Here are a few things that I’ve been feeling' ... "I got a call from my doctor and in the midst of that call, you could just hear her uncertainty. They thought they saw something on my kidney. They were like: ‘Well, we don’t know if it’s cancerous, but there’s something on there'." He went on to have surgery to remove the mass and Dwayne struggled with the idea of feeling "weak" - and he didn't want his wife to see him post-op. The former sports star said: "No one has ever really experienced me being weak. "I’ve always been the strong one, the most confident one, the world champion that has lifted the trophies over his head. That’s the image, but this was a moment where I knew I was going to be uncertain and a little weak ... "Once I came out of surgery, it was a pain that I had never felt before ... [I was] most afraid of being that vulnerable [in front of my wife}. "It sounds crazy because those are supposed to be the ones you want to be there in those moments of weakness ... but you don’t want them to see you in that space." It comes after Gabrielle previously admitted her husband's cancer journey had been a "challenge". Appearing on 'The View', the 'Bring It On' actress was admitted it took her "a while" to come to terms with his diagnosis, and her mind immediately went to the "absolute worse-case". She added: "You hear cancer [and] you're paralyzed because you think of the absolute worst-case scenario. "I've had so many friends who are cancer survivors. I didn't go there; I went to 'he's gone.' " She also revealed her husband decided not to share the diagnosis with the family for some time. She explained: "He didn't tell everybody. He didn't even tell our whole family. He really wanted this to be very under the radar. He didn't tell anyone."
