‘Captain America: Brave New World' bombs at test screening (www.worldofreel.com)

It’s been six years since Steve Rodgers handed over Captain America reigns to Sam Wilson, Aka The Falcon, in “Avengers: Endgame.” Wilson (Anthony Mackie) will be the lead of Julius Onah’s “Captain America: Brave New World.” A trailer was released in the summer.

Two different cuts of the film test screened last week, and plot details for one of the cuts have leaked online. The person who attended didn’t seem to like the movie all that much.

Based on the folks I’ve spoken to, those who attended were either given a red or green bracelet and were split up into two different theaters. The reactions I’ve heard have not been very kind to this movie, which is being described as “inessential” and “flat.”

...

Reshoots on ‘Brave New World’ happened in August. This could explain why two different cuts were shown. Last year, after receiving negative test scores in another screening, and Marvel themselves underwhelmed by an early cut they saw of the film, ‘Brave New World’ was delayed to February 2025. Extensive reshoots were called, with “three major action sequences” having been filmed, between May and August 2024 in Atlanta.

‘Brave New World’ had originally wrapped filming in June 2023, and was set for a July 2024 release date, but it’s now turned into this monstrous mess for Marvel. You just don’t push a movie this big out of your calendar, and then decide to dump it in February, unless major trouble is brewing.

Last December, Matthew Orton was hired by Marvel to pen “additional scenes and material”. Orton’s work was shot during this summer’s reshoots. They’ve also added new characters to the story. Will audiences even show up to a Captain America movie that doesn’t star Chris Evans?

Oversaturation. Audiences are exhausted of Marvel. Take a 4 or 5 years off, Feige, make sure you have some kick ass ideas and scripts before you come back. This ain't rocket science.

Given how few things Marvel has released this year, this isn't exhaustion. I get the concept and Marvel was definitely guilty of it before. But it could just be that people don't like the story. I feel Falcon and The Winter Soldier was comparably disliked. Maybe people just aren't as behind this character as they were behind Evans' Captain America

Have to disagree on that one. Yeah, Falcon has always been a C list character, but he's been one of the prominent ones in the last several movies. I'm having trouble myself seeing how he can fill Cap's shoes with no serum, but maybe he gets it in this one.

But what do I know, I thought Snyder's Justice League franchise was total dogshit, and lots of people (cough, teenage boys, cough) thought it was awesome. And no, Whedon didn't ruin it, it was garbage to start with.

The Eternals was the first Marvel film that I just completely didn't care for, and then they followed it up with a weak Doctor Strange, a weak Black Panther, a weak Ant Man, a weak Thor, and a bunch of other bad movies. Guardians 3, Spider-Man 3 (even though it was Sony), and Deadpool were all pretty good, and I thought WandaVision and Loki were great. Other than that it's been pretty bad.

I was hoping this little break they've had broken by Deadpool would breathe new life into the franchise, but it looks like that isn't going to be the case.
