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.

Oh, I absolutely do not begrudge anyone getting a paycheck, we all need to eat.

I don't think any of the directors you mentioned would push back against studio interference though. There are directors who will trade control for a paycheck and there are ones who won't. The ones who won't often make more interesting movies.
