Yes. It's been pretty much a given that Red Hulk would be in the film for a while now since Thunderbolt Ross (Harrison Ford) is in the film.

Gives me Olympus has Fallen vibes, just mixed with MCU characters. We'll see but so far seems pretty by the numbers and it seems like they're still using the whole legacy bit of Sam taking over for Cap as the main focal point.

I'm guessing the green headed guy facing away is The Leader. Never really been a big fan of Red Hulk, primarily because I thought it was stupid that it was Ross (as well as Betsy being Red She Hulk), so that isn't much of a draw for me.
Marvel hasn't really been an opening weekend kind of vibe now for a bit and this isn't really changing that feeling.

Even the not good Marvel movies are still adequately entertaining so I’ll definitely see it. We haven’t got the group together for a movie theater visit in awhile though so have to wait and see if that happens or not.

The 'getting used to the new look' comment made me chuckle. I hate recasting (although it was obviously kind of necessary in this particular case) but contrariwise I have less of a problem with it when they acknowledge it somehow. Maybe because that makes it an in-joke that the viewer is included in, rather than just being a difference we're supposed to ignore.
Looks great to me. As others have said more winter soldiery vibes. I like a down to earth super hero flick now and then. Not the aliens and magic rings and other realms. But just some guys on the backfoot trying to stop the enemy at their door with their fists and a shield.
These are my opinions. This is how I feel. Others may feel differently. This needs to be stated for some reason.

Ever since the first trailer for Captain America: Brave New World dropped, fans have all been asking themselves the same question. No, not "When do we get to see Harrison Ford's Red Hulk go smash?" (although very much that too), but instead: "Who is Giancarlo Esposito playing?" Having played the cold and calculating Gus Fring in Breaking Bad and the dastardly Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian, we always knew he'd be a baddie here. But now, thanks to Marvel's Hall H Captain America panel at Comic-Con, we know exactly which one.
Get ready to meet Sidewinder, people. Yes, Esposito is set to take on the role of the King of the Serpent Society in Julius Onah's upcoming Cap fourquel. For those who don't know, in the comics Sidewinder — real name Seth Voelker — heads up snake-themed supervillain consortium the Serpent Society. Over the years, the group have worked for and with the likes of Kingpin and Hydra, and the Society's roots with Marvel's Star-Spangled Avenger run all the way back to issue #310 of Captain America from 1985. But whilst Esposito is taking up the Sidewinder mantle, it remains to be seen whether he'll also be donning a comics accurate reptilian ruff at any stage. But given the movie's political thriller slant and Esposito's shades-and-shooter combo in the trailer, we're guessing unlikely!

Did it have to do with Marvel's Marvels and other lackluster ticket sales?
Massive amount of reshoots, new shoots, and changes to the story including adding a whole new antagonist. Giancarlo Esposito, seen in the trailer, was not even originally in the film.

I’m guessing this is the start of the pivot away from Kang and the multiverse then.

And that's just silly. Recast Kang and keep going, although yeah the multiverse-focused movies just haven't been as good so maybe they're doing the right thing switching gears.

But they can't recast him.
Kang died on the way back to his home planet.

Either you're being facetious, or I've missed something somewhere. I'm guessing they wrote him out of the series off-screen? I know they were needing to find a work around due to the actor getting arrested for domestic violence or something, but I never heard that they quietly resolved his story arc. To be fair, I missed The Marvels in the theater and have yet to watch it on streaming (pretty sure that's the only MCU movie I've missed).

In the Simpsons the Itchy and Scratchy show introduced a cool new EXTREME character named Poochie to liven things up. When he proved unpopular the studio quickly put together an episode that ended with "Poochie died on this way back to his home planet" and he was never spoken of again.
That's about how Marvel is treating Kang.
I mean I get it, I watched Loki, I saw Ant Man 3, I see where they thought this would go, but I left with no desire to ever see Kang again.
A time travelling, multiverse travelling villain with an infinite number of cross-time clones just means there are no stakes, at all.
