Director Refutes Tom Holland's 'Bad' Test Screening Claims
23 Aug
Summary
- Tom Holland noted some test screenings didn't work well.
- Director clarified screenings scored high despite edits.
- Brand New Day became 2026's highest-grossing movie.
During the press tour for "Brand New Day," actor Tom Holland commented on less-than-ideal test screenings during post-production. He noted that attempts to cater entirely to audience feedback after filming wrapped in late 2025 did not yield the desired results.
Director Destin Daniel Cretton addressed Holland's remarks, clarifying that the test screenings in question still received high scores from audiences. While Marvel films often undergo significant changes, Cretton indicated that the core of "Brand New Day" remained consistent, with edits simply occurring in different places.
The film has since become the highest-grossing release of 2026. "Brand New Day" continues to be available in theaters.
