Marvel"s Thunderbolts* Is Heading Back For Reshoots And I Hope They"re Adding More Bucky Barnes

:0:1

Marvel"s Thunderbolts* movie is reportedly undergoing reshoots ahead of the MCU movie"s 2025 release date. Thunderbolts* is one of three Marvel movies set to release in 2025, alongside Captain America: Brave New World and Fantastic Four: First Steps, but it"s the only one to hold the coveted May release date, which is typically reserved for Avengers movies and other films with the potential to be major box office successes. So, although we don"t quite know what the Thunderbolts* movie"s story is, it"s clear Marvel has confidence in it, and the latest report shouldn"t be any cause for concern.
Collider is reporting that director Jake Schreier has been spotted on set in Atlanta, Georgia, for the Thunderbolts* reshoots. According to Collider, none of the cast members have been seen yet, and it seems the director is set to oversee some pick-up shots. The nature of what these shots will entail remains to be seen, but Collider notes that reshoots are standard for most Marvel movies - and many big-budget films in general.
What Thunderbolts* Going Back For Reshoots Means Reshoots Are Not Inherently A Bad Part Of The Filmmaking Process Close Reshoots have gotten a bad rap, especially when it comes to superhero movies, because they"re often associated with a studio or a director making significant changes to a film - which was certainly the case for the 2017 theatrical release of Justice League. But more often than not, reshoots are done to improve a movie, either through small tweaks or adding in elements that weren"t previously included. For example, Thor: The Dark World did reshoots to add more of Tom Hiddleston"s Loki to the film after he became such a beloved character from The Avengers.
All this is to say, Thunderbolts* going back for reshoots does not mean Marvel is worried about the movie. In fact, it"s possible Shreier"s reshoots will ultimately make the movie even better. As of now, it"s difficult to say what the Thunderbolts* reshoots could pertain to, especially if none of the cast have been spotted on set. If the reshoots wrap quickly, it"s possible the changes made were minor. If any members of the cast come back and the reshoots last longer, the director may be making more significant changes, like including more of certain characters or changing plot points.
