“Captain America: Brave New World” is among the slate of movies on Marvel’s schedule pushed back from the summer of 2024 to early 2025. It will undergo months of reshoots, with former trade reporter Jeff Sneider saying on “The Hot Mic” podcast that the film’s poor scores during test screenings are resulting in three major sequences from the film being cut and reworked. Marvel hasn’t commented on the accuracy of the reports. So, for those speculating Sabra’s inclusion in the film is the cause of the reshoots, that appears unlikely. The reshoots suggest the film as a whole has other major problems that need to be addressed.
It’s unfortunate that viewers will have to wait longer than previously believed to see Anthony Mackie’s first solo outing as Captain America on the big screen. Despite the reshoots, the film is set to be an exciting new entry to the Marvel Cinematic Universe featuring some incredible actors, including Harrison Ford as Thunderbolt Ross and the return of Tim Blake Nelson’s Leader and Liv Tyler’s Betty Ross, both of whom haven’t been seen since “The Incredible Hulk.” Shira Haas’ Sabra, reworked to be a CIA agent, will also play a key part in the movie. “Captain America: Brave New World,” directed by Julius Onah, arrives in theaters on February 14, 2025.
