Captain America: Brave New World - News & Speculation Thread

What we got. Just for visual comparison.

Hmm, there probably could have been a happy compromise. I think the original prosthetic looks good, yes, but I do like that they decided to go more grotesque—though, of course, there’s room for improvement with the final look

 

[AndrewGilkison]

I think the more grotesque look would've fit better if the movie had a more horror movie tone and was darker. But it wasn't.

Thanks for reminding us how much time has passed since the first film.

The fact that this was a reality and not just concept art and they didn't go with it is absurd.

Indeed. If I had to guess, maybe this was changed due to feedback from test screenings.

Only reason I can think of

I remember Nelson teasing his collaboration with the original make-up artist (who he'd worked with several times before) and seeming really excited about it. Shame how it all turned out.

Chris Evans Was ‘Running Around’ Europe And Missed The Brave New World Premiere, But He Still Made Time To See The Movie And Reach Out To Anthony Mackie

I wonder if they have a thread named "Cap Chat" for occasions like this?

I only just realized now that the MCU movie before CA4's release also had Chris Evans in the movie.

I'm surprised Screen Junkies still do these Honest Trailers. I subscribed to them before but I never finished any of those Honest Trailers. Their other videos like summer movie preview, franchise spotlight and end of the year rundown were more insightful but they stopped making those many years ago.

May 28 - Disney+

Watched this movie on the plane. It had some interesting elements that didn’t really get fleshed out. I think the general idea of a politician/conspiracy thriller was right, the execution was just poor. Cinematography was surprisingly mediocre.

I think when it boiled down to it, I just didn’t find myself that drawn to Sam’s story as a character.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

While Giancarlo Esposito is obviously a better actor then Seth Rollins, I still can't take him seriously in the role he had in the movie (that was clearly written to be a physical threat). They should have brought back all the actors who played the Serpent Society and tone down the campy aspects of their original performances. GE should've been saved for another character/movie.

He was always treated as a supporting character in the movies, with not a lot to work with. Then Disney+ came and they gave his own show but he still had to share the lead role with Bucky.

Like I said in 2022 when the film was greenlit, that this was an unnecessary project. Well it would have been worth it, if the movie was actually good but no.

Allegedly. Mytimetoshine is saying this only after the show came out. And her track record has been awful the last couple years. So I wouldn’t put much stock in it.

It’s wild how different this movie was going to be:

Looks better without beard/mustache.

For starters, they really should have known, it wasn't gonna perform well at the box office without Chris Evans.

 

[Venom 1988]

So he's blaming Mackie and not the fact the that script was bad and all the production troubles?

His role in the movie was nothing special. I thought for a late addition, it would have been a notable role, but it was essentially the head of a faceless group of human criminals.

 

[nachtschicht]

I'm sure the problem is all of the above, but I also couldn't get behind Sam on the Falcon Show. Not gonna watch a movie that's just this guy.
