It’s only a few months away, but Marvel isn’t done with their endless tinkering on “Captain America: Brave New World.”
Yes, scooper Daniel Richtman (via CBM) is reporting that a third round of test screenings for the film recently took place, and once again the reaction wasn’t what Marvel had hoped for. More changes are being done on the film.
It’s not clear how extensive this new additional photography is, and whether “director” Julius Onah is present, but there’s gotta be an end to all of this, right? The film gets released a little over two months from now.
Recently, a rep close to the ‘Brave New World’ production wrote to me, and described the additional photography as “standard in the business, and specially on large films requiring pick up.”
This is the third round of reshoots on ‘Brave New World.’ Earlier in the year, Marvel got to see a rough cut of the film, but felt the action scenes “were not big or satisfying enough.” A poorly rated test-screening didn’t help. Word was that three major action sequences were being reshot from scratch.
It’s Marvel Fatigue.
Not everything needs to be 1. about the end of the world 2. nonstop action packed and 3. literally everyone has rapid-fire quips locked and loaded.
Also, if it’s running long like the Marvel flicks have been running, it’s attention span fatigue as well.
Reshoots won’t help, people will just turn to other movies and other media.
EDIT: Also ancient ass Harrison Ford as Red Hulk is just reaching. Motherfucker almost died while shooting one of the more recent Star Wars flicks. Guy can barely move, but sure, he becomes Red Hulk. They needed someone who isn’t genuinely a crotchety fucking old man. Old, but not that god damned old.
Yeah but Disney needs that ROI so they’re going to keep pumping out the slop as long as enough piggies eat it
Haven’t their returns on these films been flagging. Nobody is getting the kind of money that Endgame brought in, except maybe Deadpool and that hardly counts.
I wonder if he ends up an animated character for 90% of the screen time.
It’s probally why he agreed to the paycheck.
He’s good on the AppleTV show Shrinking btw.
Apple TV has produced some bangers, it’s just too bad nobody’s watching them because most people don’t have Apple TV.
I’d been thinking about checking that show out anyway, thanks for the suggestion.
I pirate crazy amounts of Apple TV content. Almost feel like I should cancel Netflix and make the switch, but there’s just enough good new anime coming out to drag my heels.
