Part 7/9:
The delays and massive re-shoots underscore a broader pattern of missteps within the MCU. The original release date for Captain America 4 was May 3, 2024, but it was shifted to February 14, 2024, amid concerns over the movie’s quality and production stability. Insider sources reveal that these extensive re-shoots—reportedly costing between $75 and $100 million—were driven largely by negative audience feedback on test screenings.
Furthermore, other Marvel films and series, such as The Marvels and Blade, have faced their own production and budget issues. The Blade film, for instance, has yet to shoot a single frame and appears to be in a state of disarray. The extensive delays, re-shoots, and uncertain quality paint a picture of a franchise in crisis.
