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.
They get more slack. But you can practically see the moment the Disney executive walks into the room, in Dr Strange 2, and starts making decisions over Raimi’s head.
Waititi figured out how to go with the flow and still churn good stuff in Love and Thunder. But so much of what he did was a deliberate subversion of Disney tropes, it’s like he hoodwinked the producers.
On the flip side, his series “Reservation Dogs” feels like something Disney would have put out thirty years ago, but has completely forgotten how to do anymore.
And because I’m in the mood to fight, I’m going to say Guardians (particularly 3) is highly overrated.
Big ups for Reservation Dogs, agreed. I actually also agree about the Guardians movies being overrated, but they’re still fun little romps. Gunn’s most subversive days are long past.
