‘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?

After meeting with newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus Ross, played by Harrison Ford in his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut, Sam finds himself in the middle of an international incident. He must discover the reason behind a nefarious global plot before the true mastermind has the entire world seeing red.

I could not be less interested.

Harrison Ford, or at least his cumulative body of work, is a goddamned national treasure, but the man is 82. Stop throwing money at him and encouraging him to leave Wyoming to do boring things. Besides, he might try to fly himself, and we as a country don't need that kind of stress.

Anyway, it's so unrealistic. Why would America ever elect an octogenarian president?!?!?!

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 12 points 1 month ago

Yeah and one who is secretly a traitor plotting for global instability. Man, these writers need a reality check.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Harrison Ford claimed that he lives down the street from Conan O'Brien, on Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend. That and the Jon Stewart episodes are hilarious.

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah, he's great when he doesn't have to promote and can just hang out not giving fucks left and right.

[–] smokebuddy 17 points 1 month ago

Maybe I'd watch if terrorists hijacked Air Force One and Harrison Ford yelled GET OFF MY PLANE

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh boy, a secret global plot... the entire world in danger... Sounds so refreshing...
The Falcon is an alright character, but he's too much of an asshole to take him seriously as Capt America.

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah, Mackie has was too much baggage, and he kind of sucks at anything except serious dramatic acting.

He singlehandedly ruined altered carbon, that took effort.

What would make you interested?

Or specifically which part do you find uninteresting?

T'Challa, heir to the hidden but advanced kingdom of Wakanda, must step forward to lead his people into a new future and must confront a challenger from his country's past.

That's the plot line of Black Panther.

Political involvement in the Avengers' affairs causes a rift between Captain America and Iron Man.

That's Captain America: Civil War.

What are you expecting to read?
