Like most blockbuster movies, the untitledAvengers: Infinity Warsequel will undergo a number of reshoots over the summer, which presumably will not be too expensive. With this news also comes the current scheduled wrap date for the untitledSpider-Man: Homecomingsequel that will release only a few months afterAvengers 4.
A number of recent highly anticipated movies likeJustice LeagueandSolo: A Star Wars Storyendured massive reshoots, and it’s no question that a number of fans were disappointed with the results.Justice Leaguereshot a number of its scenes under the supervision of Joss Whedon only a few months before its release. These reshoots should have worked fine if not for the time crunch, which resulted in a mixed tone between the different directors' scenes and sometruly atrocious CGI.Solo: A Star Wars Storyfortunately had plenty of time to take care of its issues, finishing reshooting most of the movie over half of a year before the movie’s release. Unfortunately, the tone still felt forced to a number ofStar Warsfans, and the bad vibe given about the movie based on the reshoots arguably hindered its impact at the box office.
Fortunately, the reshoots forAvengers 4do not seem to be too extensive. UnlikeJustice LeagueandSolo, theAvengers 4reshoots will still be overseen by the same directors, so the same tone should still be there. Additionally, the movie doesn’t release untilMay of next year, so there will be plenty of time to keep the CGI clean. While many movies' reshoots tend to get a bad vibe, they are almost always done to fix major issues in the movie and improve the final product. Because of this, there should be no need to worry if these reshoots are bad tidings forAvengers 4. According to the source, these reshoots will begin at some point over the summer and last until September. While this does seem long, it’s unlikely that they will be shooting every day, and instead have that period of time open to work around actors' schedules.
The other big Marvel production news is the confirmation that theSpider-Man: Homecoming sequelwill wrap production in December. This is an understandable time for the movie to finish shooting, considering that it has asummer 2019release date. Typically, mid-Summer Marvel movies in the past likeAnt-Manhave wrapped around November or December of the year before, so it’s good to see that theSpider-Mansequel is on a similar track.
While neither of these Marvel Studios production updates fromOmega Undergroundare necessarily surprising, they are great updates nonetheless that show that these two upcoming Marvel projects are on the right track. TheAvengers 4reshoots most likely aren’t enormous and are sure to improve the overall quality of the movie, possibly based on what audiences did and didn’t like inAvengers: Infinity War. Furthermore, the wrap update for theSpider-Man: Homecomingsequel shows that the next movie in theSpider-Manfranchise should be up to par with the previous, with seemingly no production delays or roadblocks at the time being. All in all, the future for Marvel is as bright as ever.
