A great deal has been said about Captain America: Brave New World's supposed reshoots and test screenings. As of now, it's fair to say this is either much ado about nothing or a sign the movie has been completely overhauled.

In the latest issue of Empire Magazine, the MCU's new Captain America, Anthony Mackie, addressed the reports head-on.

"It wasn’t retooled at all, every Marvel movie I’ve done has done reshoots, so it’s not retooling or remaking," the actor explained. "You basically get the movie and the story you want, you edit it together, then go back and shoot a few more scenes."

It's true that every MCU movie undergoes a similar production process, though some do more reshoots than others (Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, for example, changed its ending weeks before it arrived in theaters).

Responding to these remarks, scooper @MyTimeToShineH said, "They literally changed the ending, the opening, added a new villain and another Hulk and a new post credits scene and changed a character's death."

Based on other pieces of intel that have found their way online in recent months, we believe she's referring to the fact President Ross/Red Hulk now lives, the removal of the Serpent Society, Amadeus Cho's MCU debut, and a stinger setting up a new team of heroes for Avengers: Doomsday.

In the same feature, Harrison Ford appeared to confirm Ross' survival when he teased, "I’m awaiting my new assignment, I think it’ll be fascinating to see where that character goes, if he goes anywhere" (you may recall that set photos previously pointed to the character dying).

We'll have to wait and see. In the meantime, check out some new Captain America: Brave New World stills below.

Gee, I wonder who the "SPOILER" could be?.. I can't think of any character in the MCU that's green that could be related to the story of this movie.

TheVisionary25 - 12/19/2024, 3:20 PM

@bcom - it’s Amadeus Cho apparently

bcom - 12/19/2024, 3:26 PM

@TheVisionary25 - My mind went straight to Bruce, but I remember hearing the rumours (maybe confirmed since?) that the kid who played "Podcast" in the recent Ghostbusters movies had been cast as Amadeus Cho, so this makes sense. Given it's also a very Hulk centric movie, I wouldn't be surprised if Bruce and maybe even She-Hulk get brief cameos.

TheVisionary25 - 12/19/2024, 3:32 PM

@bcom - it’s still rumored and I do think he’s a good choice

I think we have a better shot of Bruce showing up in this then Jen

bcom - 12/19/2024, 3:36 PM

@TheVisionary25 - Very true.

bkmeijer1 - 12/19/2024, 5:08 PM

@bcom - I wouldn't be surprised if Hulk or She-Hulk will show up. Wouldn't be surprised if either has been rumoured before.

I do hope it's just for a caneo though and not for a full fight. Think it's pretty interesting to see serumless Captain America fight a Hulk on his own.

TheVisionary25 - 12/19/2024, 5:16 PM

@bkmeijer1 - yeah

I think it depends on how he beats Red Hulk.because if he beats him physically one on one then I don’t buy that…

However Mackie has talked about Sam having to use his wits more so I can see him outsmarting him like Rulk in the comics I think the madder he gets , the more heat he exudes which makes him weaker so if Sam finds that out , he can use that to his advantage

bkmeijer1 - 12/19/2024, 5:23 PM

@TheVisionary25 - so I could see it be something like that. Would work better than another "be better" speech. Although it would be funny if he tries to appeal to Ross' sense of duty, but fails miserably.

TheVisionary25 - 12/19/2024, 5:27 PM

@bkmeijer1 - I didn’t mind that speech ( and to be fair , he didn’t beat Karli that way lol)

It felt very Cap to me though can understand how it got too preachy for others..

That would be funny though

Spike101 - 12/19/2024, 3:17 PM

Maybe the cameo is Steve Rogers, with all the reshoots they must be getting desperate.

SonOfAGif - 12/19/2024, 4:01 PM

@Spike101 - She Hulk

Spike101 - 12/19/2024, 4:05 PM

@SonOfAGif - arghhh….

TheFinestSmack - 12/19/2024, 3:23 PM

More "educated guess" rumors that likely can't be proven right or wrong.

bkmeijer1 - 12/19/2024, 5:01 PM

@TheFinestSmack - good summary of the majority of scoops. And they can always claim "yeah, they changed it in post or reshoots so it can't be verified or not"

WruceBayne - 12/19/2024, 5:02 PM

@TheFinestSmack - no matter what this movie turns out to be she’s going to say “See, I told you”.

TheFinestSmack - 12/19/2024, 8:48 PM

@bkmeijer1 - and scoops have been like this for a while, but now they have "scoopers" that are just grifters trying to make a buck on common sense.

MyCoolYoung - 12/19/2024, 3:26 PM

“I don’t want to be that guy who says, ‘I was inspired by this thing’, and then you watch the movie, and you’re like, ‘What the [frick] were you talking about?’“

I love this quote lol

TheVisionary25 - 12/19/2024, 3:27 PM

@MyCoolYoung - I know right , cracked me up lol

I’m glad he didn’t try to bullshit

MyCoolYoung - 12/19/2024, 3:29 PM

@TheVisionary25 - lol he's right on the money. I definitely watch certain films and say that which is funny because there are other films where you see inspiration and they'll say "we did our own thing" lol

TheVisionary25 - 12/19/2024, 3:31 PM

@MyCoolYoung - yep haha

I wish him luck man , his last film was well received so that gives me some hope for this.

bkmeijer1 - 12/19/2024, 5:07 PM

@MyCoolYoung - he's knows what's up. I most recently had that with Kraven. Like they have to know what kind of movie they made right? Apparently Onah knows

MyCoolYoung - 12/19/2024, 5:20 PM

@TheVisionary25 - with all the reports about the quality of this film coming out, definitely gives me hope. I'll be a day 1 regardless

Vigor - 12/19/2024, 3:27 PM

Damn marvel, use who you got
Opportunity for she hulk was RIGHT THERE

ModHaterSLADE - 12/19/2024, 3:27 PM

I mean Cho makes sense, but if they're making him a Hulk it'll be a little disappointing since it doesn't feel as earned as the comics as when he had to rely purely on brains and had to team up with heroes like Hercules as the muscle for years before getting powers.

AllsGood - 12/19/2024, 3:28 PM

Marvel Studios Captain America: Brave New World.

TheVisionary25 - 12/19/2024, 3:30 PM

Honestly regardless of whether this movie has had extensive reshoots or not , even the possibility that it’s been essentially remade has been planted in certain people’s minds hence they have already deemed it a flop or are panicking about its quality…

Granted ,I hope it turns out well since I have liked the trailers so far but we know those can be misleading so best to take those rumors or even comments from people involved with a grain of salt.

Hopefully once we see the movie , all that BS is dispelled and it just works on its own!!.

Matchesz - 12/19/2024, 3:32 PM

I think they were going to have no serum Sam take down Red Trump with some help from latino falcon before the negative screenings happened

CreateNowSlpL8r - 12/19/2024, 3:47 PM

@Matchesz - They 100% changed the political tone of this movie. The problem is, that probably was the core of the movie which means they neutered it. They said they removed all references to Sabra too, they left the actress in but shes just some kind of spy now I guess.

HashTagSwagg - 12/19/2024, 3:54 PM

@Matchesz - Sam will defeat Red Hulk by giving him the "you gotta do better" speech

Izaizaiza - 12/19/2024, 4:18 PM

@Matchesz - That would be sad if they pussed out on the movie's message to maximize Prophets

Matchesz - 12/19/2024, 4:38 PM

@Izaizaiza - yea but after Trump winning its more like beating a dead horse and people just want to see a good movie

Izaizaiza - 12/19/2024, 4:39 PM

@Matchesz - it'll be interesting over the next 4 years of corruption, crony capitalism, and probable attacks on Democratic institutions to see if Hollywood has the balls to address it

Matchesz - 12/19/2024, 5:13 PM

@Izaizaiza - agreed maybe the next one can have the next pres and his son involved ina money laundering scheme with Latveria resulting in a ugly war between them and Sokovia resulting in the deaths of thousands then he just pardons everything like its all good

Matchesz - 12/19/2024, 5:16 PM

And then he endorses Mystique posing as someone else after he’s forced out of the presidential election by Hydra

Izaizaiza - 12/19/2024, 7:10 PM

@Matchesz - I'm no fan of Biden, but show me any evidence of money laundering and I'll send you a Snickers bar. So far, the only evidence of wrongdoing I've seen is not being honest on a gun application

Vigor - 12/19/2024, 8:04 PM

@Izaizaiza - he can't. They take any snippet they can from red pill youtube videos and fox news to justify voting for a terrible human being

JayLemle - 12/19/2024, 3:36 PM

Ford is a national treasure, but I hope Feige and Co. are taking into account his age. William Hurt was 71 when he passed. "Awaiting my next assignment...?" I guess his VP could be the Plan C for the MCU moving forward. But... hopefully this is something that has been addressed. Three different actors playing Ross would be silly.

TheVisionary25 - 12/19/2024, 3:40 PM

@JayLemle - I get yah but if you have Harrison Ford in your universe , I guess you would want to continue that as much as possible

We’ll see

MCUKnight11 - 12/19/2024, 3:44 PM

@TheVisionary25 - I'm surprised he actually seems happy to be there.

TheVisionary25 - 12/19/2024, 3:56 PM

@MCUKnight11 - honestly Ford seems happy about anything that isn’t Star Wars lol
