It’s only a few months away, but Marvel isn’t done with their endless tinkering on “Captain America: Brave New World.”

Yes, scooper Daniel Richtman (via CBM) is reporting that a third round of test screenings for the film recently took place, and once again the reaction wasn’t what Marvel had hoped for. More changes are being done on the film.

It’s not clear how extensive this new additional photography is, and whether “director” Julius Onah is present, but there’s gotta be an end to all of this, right? The film gets released a little over two months from now.

Recently, a rep close to the ‘Brave New World’ production wrote to me, and described the additional photography as “standard in the business, and specially on large films requiring pick up.”

This is the third round of reshoots on ‘Brave New World.’ Earlier in the year, Marvel got to see a rough cut of the film, but felt the action scenes “were not big or satisfying enough.” A poorly rated test-screening didn’t help. Word was that three major action sequences were being reshot from scratch.

They still hire some solid directors and then end up with a movie where the best parts are the director's vision and the worst parts are those that he execs stuffed in, like most movies.

That's kind of what I'm saying. Any director working for them has to be OK with the studio taking their movie and fucking around with it, they don't get to kick up a fuss.

That automatically excludes a whole bunch of really talented directors who actually might make something worth watching if the studio wasn't so meddlesome.

Which all so sad since the movie that started it all was completely left alone and up to the director.
