'Captain America: Brave New World' To Be The Most Expensive Marvel Movie?

Mumbai, June 28 - Marvel Studios' Captain America: Brave New World is getting expensive and if reports are to be believed, it could end up being the costliest Marvel movie ever. It is intended to be the fourth instalment in the Captain America film series and stars Anthony Mackie as the new Captain America. ## According to the report by World of Reel, Captain America 4 initially had a budget of $275 million and was supposed to wrapped filming in 2023 itself. However, the movie went into reshoots after the unsatisfactory output and this has reportedly increased the budget by $75 million - $100 million to make it a $350+ million budgeted blockbuster, in the line of Age of Ultron's $365 million budget (unadjusted for inflation). ## If the rumours budget is true, it will be a massive task for Marvel and Disney to bring the audience to theatres in the numbers they used to before as there is no Chris Evans as Captain America this time even though the brand Marvel is still expected to pull things to some extent. ## There is no official synopsis as of now but Captain America 4 is confirmed to be the continuation of the Disney Plus series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021) starring Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan, among others. It will be the big-screen debut of Mackie as the Marvel Superhero. ## Captain America 4, which was originally planned to be released in May 2024, has now been pushed to February 14, 2025. ##

Chris Evans, The Original Captain America, Shuts Down Marvel Return Talks

Los Angeles, July 10 - The announcement of Marvel Studios' Captain America 4 gave a lot of air to the rumors and those rumors are back as the movie is moving into the next stage of development. While some rumors might turn out true at the latter stage, the biggest of them has been shut down by the (former) Captain America himself. ## Hollywood superstar Chris Evans, who played this iconic superhero character in the first three "Captain America" movies and "Avengers" movies, has shut down the reports of him returning to take the shield again. "Captain America 4" was announced with Anthony Mackie as the new shield-bearer in the MCU and Evans aka Steve Rogers has once again reaffirmed this major Marvel development by reacting to a report of his Marvel return. ## Sam Wilson is Captain America— Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) July 9, 2022 ## The question of a possible Evans return has danced in the minds of many Marvel fans since he said goodbye to the role in Avengers: Endgame. Recently, Evans was asked directly about a return on the Disney D23 Podcast. It seems like that's just not in the cards. Evans told them that Mackie has the shield right now and it would take an almost perfect script to change that.## Meanwhile, Chris Evans may not return to the MCU (for now), he has plenty of exciting global audience appealing movies in the pipeline. He will next star in the Netflix action thriller "The Gray Man", a film adaptation of the 2009 novel of the same name directed by Anthony and Joe Russo. It also stars Ryan Gosling, Ana de Armas, Dhanush, Jessica Henwick, and others in key roles. It will premiere on Netflix on July 22nd. ## Apart from the aforementioned movie, Evans will star in the action-adventure film "Ghosted", by director Dexter Fletcher, and is also slated to play Gene Kelly in an as-yet-untitled film based on an original idea of his own. Additionally, he will star in the action-comedy "Red One" and will also reunite with his Marvel co-star and best friend Scarlett Johansson in "Project Artemis". In July 2022, he joined the cast of David Yates's "Pain Hustlers" starring Emily Blunt.## Stay tuned...

It is also not clear whether Chris Evans, the original Captain America, would reprise his role as Steve Rogers in the upcoming movie. ## Julius Onah was born in Markurdi, Nigeria, and lived in locales around the world thanks to a diplomat parent before settling in the U.S. His shorts made the festival rounds, while his NYU film school thesis movie attracted Spike Lee as an exec producer.
