Brave New World’ Facing 5 Months of Reshoots and a 7 Month Delay Is the Worst Thing for the Film but the Best Thing for the MCU

We are entering a brave new world where Marvel is, in a strange way, becoming the underdog. Or, at the very least, success defined by an era of the past decade and a half is no longer guaranteed. So, on the one hand, news of it Captain America: Brave New World It’s not a sign of courage to delay and take the chance from top to bottom. And yet it might have been better for the MCU as a whole.

Following the resumption of Hollywood productions following the SAG-AFTRA agreement, Marvel has reshuffled its upcoming slate once again. Directly opposite Thunderbolts moving from December 2024 to July 2025, Captain America 4 the delay is worst, as it is now moving from July 2024 to February 2025. This was surprising to hear as we thought everything was dandy on the Brave New World front, thanks to a filming wrap before the strikes took effect.

Unfortunately, more intel reporting indicates that this is another project that Marvel is worried about and that it is going to go back in front of the camera for some significant reshoots. And I mean it significant. If the chatter is to be believed, three major scenes will be removed and replaced in a five-month period of reshoots that will take place from January 2024 to May. Things are clearly not going as smoothly as expected for Sentinel of Liberty’s second solo trip.

However, although this is terrible for Anthony Mackie’s film, it could be really what the MCU needs. You see, with cap 4 push in 2025, this means that Marvel Studios is only releasing one movie in 2024with Deadpool 3 coming in the summer. The last time this happened was in 2020, with Black Widowbut perhaps next year’s situation will be the opposite.

Marvel’s drought in 2020 was terrible for the company because it meant it had to slow down just when it needed to keep the momentum going after today.Avengers: Endgame. This time, however, everyone is suffering from serious MCU indigestion and a bit of a diet from the franchise is definitely what the doctor ordered. Deadpool 3 It looks like a big event movie, so hopefully it will do its job to keep the MCU hype alive, but otherwise we – the audience and the creatives alike – can take some time to get our recharge batteries and come back in 2025 ready to be crazy. , and to wow, again.
