10 Recent Movies With Reshoots EVERYONE Noticed
10. Captain America: Brave New World
Captain America: Brave New World underwent many weeks of reshoots following poor test screenings, reportedly in an attempt to beef up the film's lackluster action sequences and also add a number of characters to the story.
In particular, reshoots added the supporting villain Sidewinder (Giancarlo Esposito), who shows up a few times throughout the picture as an obstacle to Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and his fellow heroes. Yet Sidewinder and his goons are so obviously siloed off from basically the entire rest of the movie, such that it's incredibly obvious this footage was filmed later and just plugged into the existing material.
Elsewhere, fans know from set leaks that the movie's primary villain, The Leader (Tim Blake Nelson), originally had a more comic-accurate design with a large bulging head, but given that Nelson has a more pared-down mutated head in the final film, it's clear that he ended up reshooting every single one of his scenes.
Overall, Brave New World is a chaotic melange of tones and ideas, and even if you weren't aware of the production issues, it so constantly screams "reshoot!" at the audience.
