Marvel calls for more reshoots on ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ after failed test screening (www.worldofreel.com)

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 can be, sure, but I doubt most of them are. And of course there's the comic book movie fan, and then there's the general moviegoing audience, which is a likely a lot larger.

And I don't see the progressive case against this movie along political lines. We're getting a black Captain America suiting up for the first time to fight an (ostensibly) evil white president, after all, plus the canonical removal of a Jewish agent's heritage. A likely plot point of this film will be the mistreatment of black people in decades past at the hands on the American military. If anything I'd expect angry neckbearded wokespotters to boycott this movie, but that audience is so small that their response to this movie will be inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.
