‘Brave New World' Insider Says “Everyone Knew This Is Probably Not Going to Be a Good Film"

I’ve been sounding the alarm, for many months, and now that the reviews are in, and the toxic buzz has reached fever pitch, the internal betrayals have commenced on “Captain America: Brave New World.”

A source — who has worked on several Marvel movies — is now spilling the beans to Vulture about the high degree of difficulty in making the film, which included multiple reshoots, and action set pieces that ran up the budget.

I worked on the reshoots. I think everyone on the crew knew this is probably not going to be a good film. Some of the action sequences were not believable. We had a lot of frustrations on set. My co-workers who spent more time on Brave New World than I did said, “Yeah, this has been a really rough production.”When the studio had its test in front of an audience, it didn’t respond.

Most Marvel movies begin with the studio’s famous montage, but not this one. Why? Is it being abandoned by Marvel? If any new Marvel movie needed the studio’s intro imprint, then it would have been “Brave New World” which is supposed to be a key moment in the latest MCU phase.

The Vulture source, who spoke to the outlet on the condition of anonymity, tells a tale of a production filled with problems, which included a “curmudgeon” Harrison Ford, a young filmmaker (Julius Onah) in over his head, script revisions, entire sequences being reshot and an inflated budget.

Critics have not been kind to “Captain America: Brave New World”; a 42 on Metacritic and 52% on RT will not be enough to make much a dent at the box-office, and although the “official” line from Disney is that the film’s budget was a little over $200M, I’m still being told that’s a false number, and the costs to complete the film were much higher than what’s being reported.

Oh, and that 42 on Metacritic is the lowest score ever for an MCU movie, worse than recent clunkers ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ (48), “The Marvels” (50), “Eternals” (52), “Thor: Love and Thunder” (57), and “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” (60).

Marvel could use a hit right now. The Disney owned studio has been in a ditch, with several flops in a row, and hasn’t been able to regain the glory of its former self, which many believe ended after 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame..” In an act of total desperation, they even decided to bring back Robert Downey, Jr, but he won’t be playing Iron Man/Tony Stark, instead he’ll be portraying Dr. Doom in the next Avengers movie. I’m sure that won’t be a distraction.
