About The Marvels
The Marvels, also starring Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury, released on the big screen on November 10 and earned USD 46.1 million in North America on day one, marking the worst opening in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Produced by Marvel Studios, it also stars Zawe Ashton, Gary Lewis, Park Seo-joon, Zenobia Shroff, Mohan Kapur, and Saagar Shaikh. It revolves around the three lead characters' lives getting intertwined as they take on an interplanetary mission to save the cosmos.
Reacting to the film's box office debacle, Iman Vellani said that she was not worried about the numbers and instead celebrated the positive feedback that came her way for the Marvel Studios movie. This was Vellani's film debut.
When she was about the box office numbers, the actress who plays Kamala Khan/ superhero Ms Marvel in the feature film, referenced Bob Iger, the CEO of Marvel Studios' parent company Disney.
"I don't want to focus on something that's not even in my control, because what's the point? That's for Bob Iger," said Iman, who made her debut as Kamala Khan with Disney miniseries Ms Marvel in 2022.
"(The box office) has nothing to do with me. I'm happy with the finished product, and the people that I care about enjoyed the film. It's genuinely a good time watching this movie, and that's all we can ask for with these films. It has superheroes, it takes place in space, it's not that deep and it's about teamwork and sisterhood. It's a fun movie, and I'm just so happy that I can share it with people," she said.
WION's review of The Marvels
Kshitij Rawat in his review called the film 'middling' and said, "The best part is actually at the very end, in the credits. And isn't that the perfect indication that a movie sucks? It gives us a teaser for what's coming next, and it is indeed intriguing. Nevertheless, this flicker of hope remains eclipsed by the overarching veil of mediocrity that envelops the majority of the film. The MCU needs a shake-up and a return to the cinematic grandeur that made it famous. " Read the full review here
