I like it, with Harrison Ford it almost has a 90s Tom Clancy vibe.
I'm reading here that there was backlash over the name and that it had to be reshot? Why?!

I just remain continually baffled as to what even the damn point of dumping hundreds of millions of dollars into additional reshoots is. It just ensures your movie's going to be a money pit, especially since it pretty much never amounts to actually improving the movie's quality. I remember when World War Z was getting dunked on for how hellish its production was and now every big money production is like this.
That movie's actually a good illustration of how even if it works it isn't worth it. Movie well exceeded the expectations of it commercially and it still at best broke even due to how stupid high the budget got, and its budget was nowhere near as big as the stuff Disney's routinely churning out these days.

It was originally called New World Order and had Sabra, a mutant Mossad agent, as one of the main supporting characters. It drew criticism for leaning into anti-Semitic conspiracy tropes, so the title was changed and Sabra has been reimagined as a former Black Widow.

Plus Giancarlo wasn’t a part of the original shoots as far as I know either.

I'm just waiting for some studio to reveal they've been in a Brewster's Millions situation, where they have to spend ridiculous amounts of money doing frivolous bullshit in order to get a reward.

The Giancarlo thing after Seth reportedly got cut is confusing to me because Seth apparently played someone in the Serpent Society. =/

Considering the scoopsters got who Giancarlo was playing wrong, there’s still a chance Rollins is in.
