Nick Fury, we may have a problem. Marvel Studios has experienced a rare body blow when the studio’s 33rd feature, The Marvels, scored the lowest-grossing opening weekend in the 15 years since the original Iron Man made it a global pop culture force to be reckoned with.
The Nia DaCosta-directed space adventure opened to $47 million domestically and just under $100 million worldwide, the worst start for any Marvel film since The Incredible Hulk back in 2008.
The box office wasn’t the only bad news for the super-trio of Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel, Iman Vellani’s Ms. Marvel and Teyonah Parris’s yet-to-be-monikered Monica Rambeau. Critics were divided in their reaction to The Marvels, and the movie’s B-level CinemaScore pointed to a lack of fan enthusiasm as well.
Here’s what you need to know about the mighty Marvels flameout and what it means for the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
