Captain America: Brave New World star Anthony Mackie calls the film "old school Marvel" in first look featurette
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has hit some speed bumps recently. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and The Marvels under-performed at the box office and some of the Disney+ shows were poorly received... but the universe rebounded with the success of Deadpool & Wolverine last year, and the next addition to the MCU, Captain America: Brave New World, is set to reach theatres on February 14th. With that date just a few weeks away, a first look featurette has arrived online and can be seen in the embed above. In this featurette, star Anthony Mackie says Captain America: Brave New World is an "old school Marvel" film.
Captain America: Brave New World went into production in March of 2023, with filming lasting through June. In December of '23, another screenwriter was brought onto the project to write new material for reshoots, and those reshoots seemed to be quite substantial, lasting from May 2024 through November. It was said that the reshoots were primarily done to rework three major action sequences - and this included adding Giancarlo Esposito into the mix as Sidewinder, the leader of the Serpent Society, while also dropping a Serpent Society character that was played by wrestler Seth Rollins.
Here's the official information on the film, straight from Marvel: Malcolm Spellman, Dalan Musson, and Rob Edwards crafted the story for the film. Onah receives screenplay credit alongside Peter Glanz and Matthew Orton (Orton being the writer who was brought on for the reshoots).
