According to the latest Barside Buzz Captain America: Brave New World screen tests weren’t great and Doctor Doom to appear between Doomsday and Secret Wars. As always, none of this is confirmed, but the information is coming from good sources. Let’s start with Brave New World and it’s almost certain that Marvel have had screen tests in the past week.
What is slightly strange is that those reporting having attended were split into two camps. It was therefore assumed both groups saw different cuts of the movie. This is not an uncommon practice for screen tests. However, Daniel RPK posted that what he had heard is that both version of the film were the same. ViewerAnon chimed in to say that there must have been at least some difference even if only minor, or they were split for other reasons such as demographics. Check it out.
In that case they were split by demographics or the differences between versions were very minor and they wanted to see which played best

As you know leaks for the plot have already begun spreading. Sadly, those who saw Brave New World and were willing to talk have so far not had great things to say about the film. Though, as I’m sure you’re aware, that has happened for very well received movies before also.

As for the second rumor in our headline, this one is also from Daniel RPK. He says that he’s heard that RDJ’s Doctor Doom, who is expected to debut in a post-credit scene for Fantastic Four, will appear in other projects between Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars. Check it out.
He's not just set for two appearances. He'll be in Fantastic Four and potentially some other projects between Doomsday and Secret Wars. But yeah, once the saga wraps up, that'll likely be it for him. https://t.co/RNEqsiBjID

Worth noting we think one of those projects is Spider-Man 4, and the best guess I’ve seen for the other is Doctor Strange 3.
The leaker also said in the previous posts to this that he thinks RDJ will be done as Doom after Secret Wars, which is a shame. I think it would be a mistake to kill off Doom in the MCU. But then, that’s why not everyone was keen when they heard it was RDJ. No one thinks he will stick around for several more years popping up here and there as Doom.
I guess they could end Secret Wars with Doom’s mask being melted to his face and his voice changing? But one thing is for sure, Marvel won’t keep paying for RDJ to turn up indefinitely.
What do you think of the rumors around the Captain America: Brave New World screen tests? What do you think of Doom appearing in the projects in between Doomsday and Secret Wars? Thoughts below.
