By The FirstThe latest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe bombed at the box office over the weekend. The all-female, diverse cast of ‘The Marvels’ generated just $47 million dollars in its debut, the lowest in the MCU’s entire catalogue.
From The Direct:
The Marvels director Nia DaCosta responded to complaints that her MCU film is ‘too woke.’
The Brie Larson-led Marvel Studios sequel is in theaters now and has been met with the vitriol of particular corners of the internet.
After Captain Marvel debuted to widespread review-bombing because of its female lead, the reaction to The Marvels looks no different.
“There are pockets where you go because you’re like, ’I’m a super fan. I want to exist in the space of just adoration — which includes civilized critique. Then there are pockets that are really virulent and violent and racist — and sexist and homophobic and all those awful things. And I choose the side of the light. That’s the part of fandom I’m most attracted to.”
