We can’t forget that “Captain America 4” wrapped production before the SAG-AFTRA strike began. Over the last few months, delays have been the only news coming out of Marvel Studios. Understandably, projects like “Deadpool 3” and “Thunderbolts” went on hiatus, while Marvel reworked “Daredevil: Born Again” from the ground up. But the silver lining in all the bad news was that “Captain America 4” had finished filming, so it could still be on track for a 2024 release. As Jeff Sneider mentions during the podcast, many assumed the film was a surefire bet to hold its release date. However, with it now rumored to undergo extensive reshoots, Marvel may have bit off more than they could chew trying to wrap up before the strikes.
Thankfully, “Captain America 4” is shaping up to be an exciting outing for the MCU. “There’s a dynamic between President Ross and Sam Wilson,” Kevin Feige told Entertainment Weekly. “They have a history together, but in this film, we’ll be seeing the dynamic between Captain America and the president of the United States in a way that is just incredible.” Outside of its two leads, the movie features the returns of Tim Blake Nelson’s Leader and Liv Tyler’s Betty Ross, who haven’t appeared in the MCU since “The Incredible Hulk.” So, while it may be a bit longer of a wait, Marvel Studios could return to dominate the box office when “Brave New World” hits theaters.
