CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD Star Tim Blake Nelson Says He "Shot [The Movie] Twice" Thanks To Reshoots

Captain America: Brave New World star Tim Blake Nelson has commented on the movie’s additional photography, likening it to shooting the same project twice. Hear more from The Leader actor right here...

Marvel Studios has made some major missteps during the Multiverse Saga; however, with Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars fast approaching, we're seeing a major course correction and a shift back to quality over quantity.

Daredevil: Born Again underwent a major creative overhaul mid-shoot and Captain America: Brave New World has also undergone extensive reshoots meant to fix what wasn't working.

Talking to The Hollywood Reporter, The Leader actor Tim Blake Nelson shared some insights into just how much those have changed what we'll see in theaters next February. 

"Well, we’re done. I’ve shot it," he started. "I’ve actually shot it twice because I did it originally a year ago, and then we came back and redid a lot of it at the beginning of it this summer. Every single movie I do hopefully makes me better."

"I’ve probably done about 60 movies in between Hulk and Captain America: Brave New World," Nelson continued, "so there are dozens of increments of improvement."

This lends weight to the rumours that the Serpent Society has been left on the cutting room floor and suggests the changes extended well beyond just action scenes. 

While there will be those who spin Nelson's comments as negative, it wasn't that long ago he was heaping praise on both Captain America: Brave New World and Marvel Studios. 

"It was a great challenge and I was guided beautifully by Julius Onah, who’s an indie director," he said of the movie. "These are real directors who want to work with real actors and give them opportunities to play outlandish characters. Marvel supports that."

Nelson added, "I couldn’t respect Martin Scorsese more, he’s his own genre, but I disagree with him when he derides Marvel. I come down on the side of Marvel movies absolutely being cinema. They return us to being kids again. When they are really good, and they often are, you lose yourself in them."

"Are they profound? Are they 'Goodfellas' and 'Miller’s Crossing,' are they 'Bicycle Thieves,' 'Schindler’s List' or 'Kieślowski'? No, but they aren’t aspiring to be. They are entertainment and there’s artistry involved in them. That’s my Marvel speech." He'd later call Captain America: Brave New World "a wonderful movie."

After meeting with newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus Ross, played by Harrison Ford in his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut, Sam Wilson 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.

Captain America: Brave New World stars Anthony Mackie, Danny Ramirez, Shira Haas, Xosha Roquemore, Carl Lumbly, with Giancarlo Esposito, Liv Tyler, Tim Blake Nelson, and Harrison Ford.

The movie is directed by Julius Onah and produced by Kevin Feige and Nate Moore. Louis D’Esposito and Charles Newirth serve as executive producers.

Captain America: Brave New World opens in U.S. theaters on February 14, 2025.

@KennKathleen -
So much reshooting is not a good sign for the film, not to mention the failure of Multiverse of Madness

They spend way too much on unfinished cgi, way too much on multiple reshoots, and way too much for each actor. Then you factor in advertising for the movie and most Marvel movies have to make at least 650 million TO BREAK EVEN. Dumbasses

bobevanz - 9/13/2024, 10:50 AM
Maybe if they move the budget to actual writers and directors, and practical sets, you'd have more wiggle room. This is why they need 3 to 4 movies a year, because they barely make shit. Avengers is where they actually make bank, and they didn't have one last phase lmao

"there will be those who spin Nelson's comments as negative"

Because it is a negative, reshooting your movie to the point it changes the entire plot is a negative. It's the exact reason Marvel movies lately are feeling so disjointed and all over the place, because they can't stop changing directions halfway through everything.

Looking forward to seeing him in all his big cranium glory now haha!!.

I do think the Serpent Society will still be in this since we have Giancarlo Esposito as Sidewinder in it whose the leader aswell as apparently Rosa Salazar’s Diamondback…

I wouldn’t be surprised if what we have seen in the trailers with the firmer is from the beginning of the film where they might be trying to steal the Adamantium for The Leader until Sam stops them.

It seemed like it was going to be a similar-ish sequence originally but we had Seth Rollins character who might have been replaced (maybe they thought his performance wasn’t up to par or such).

Anyway whatever the reason for the reshoots , I’m hoping this turns out well since it’s looked good so far!!.

He actually gives a ton of credibility to this movie and leveled up my excitement for it quite a bit. It was a uninteresting upcoming film for me but I’m getting more into it

Now when you put it like that…

@Clintthahamster - I don't think it means the movie will be bad, could be great, but it does mean that they rushed to shoot something that wasn't good and wasted a ton of money fixing it.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 9/13/2024, 12:49 PM
@Polaris - or they thought it was good and just came up with an idea as Feige has said has happened before they thought was better?
Polaris
Polaris - 9/13/2024, 1:36 PM
@TheVisionary25 - After shooting a whole movie? that seems unnecessarily wasteful. If they truly thought the original film was good they wouldn't scrap it. Keep it and save that idea for the sequel. I don't buy it.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 9/13/2024, 1:41 PM
@Polaris - I mean Feige has said they have done it all for all their films

Granted , he could be trying to save face but I doubt all the films weren’t good initially
Clintthahamster
Clintthahamster - 9/13/2024, 1:55 PM
@Polaris - Agreed that it's no way to run a railroad, so to speak. If they're having to essentially shoot 75% of the movie again after it's finished principle photography, that's a good indicator that they rushed into production. Huge waste of time and money.

AND

That they looked at the finished product and said "this isn't as good as it could be, let's rework it" is not a sign that the finished product is going to be bad, necessarily (nor is it any guarantee that it'll be good.)
Polaris
Polaris - 9/13/2024, 2:20 PM
@Clintthahamster - I agree. I'm glad they decided to do whatever was needed to fix it, it's just that they shouldn't have had to shoot the movie twice lol. I hope the end result is worth it.
Polaris
Polaris - 9/13/2024, 2:25 PM
@TheVisionary25 - I think that makes sense if the changes aren't this big, like altering some subplots or the fate of some character, but if the idea is pretry much a new movie? that's too extreme. They must have thought what they had was bad.
TheLobster
TheLobster - 9/13/2024, 11:47 AM
Best case scenario is that this ends up being pretty decent (nowhere near as good as TWS though) and breaks even at the box office lol

Even in that scenario - that’s still embarrassing as shit considering this is a Captain America film.

I love how everybody is glazing over the fact that Winter Soldier was extensively re-shot
Apophis71
Apophis71 - 9/13/2024, 1:45 PM
@cubrn - Isn't that many MCU movies that weren't, fairly extensive additional filming after primary has been the norm for Marvel almost from the start and isn't that uncommon in all big budget movies across all studios (even if Marvel does more time doing so which I'm unsure if that is the case or not).

I mean from a profit margin PoV I get the negative but if fixing things that need fixing I don't see the problem if the end product is good. Better that than releasing films with known issues or butchering them on the cutting room floor and with rushed CGI to patch it all together.
Polaris
Polaris - 9/13/2024, 12:34 PM
I will never understand how studios rush to shoot movies with half a script or waste so much money like this no problem, but then they think a mid budget non IP based movie is too much of a risk.

They could do both if they weren't so stupid.

Movie has no chance to break even but they are playing the long game here. They can't withstand another bomb and I think Cap4, TB and FF all have chances to bomb.
