    The biggest problem with these kind of movies is they have required homework. I don’t think I watched half the shows these people came from. And I really don’t want to. So there’s no reason for me to see this film.

      Marvel spent the first 20 mins of The Marvels recapping the character stories, I suspect they’ll have to do the same here. They’re making an effort to minimize homework, but it cuts into film time.

        I’m guessing they’ll do it Suicide Squad style, with each being introduced to the others via exposition and / or flashbacks.

      It doesnt “require” homework, that’s a choice. If you like any of the characters go watch their previous projects. If you don’t like any of the characters then you won’t have to waste the time.

      It’s like saying i can’t start reading comics because i have to start at the beginning.

      Iike any other series, You can do it the hard way if that’s how you choose to approach it but you can also just jump in and see if you want to go down any of the rabbit hole you know already exist

      You will also be unburdened by any of those previous works and any opinions people around you have on them.

      Its a choice you are making

      Looks like it’s mostly Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Ant man and the Wasp and Black Widow ,(the one nobody saw including myself)

      I think having multiple from a box office bomb is going to be the biggest issue since nobody will recognize some of them

    I wonder if this will actually be interesting. The writers and director behind this did Beef. Also, Marvel seems to be doing less stuff now. Their worst shows and movies all came about when Kevin Feige was trying to pay attention to 100 things at once.

    My expectations are low for this and I’m definitely not spending money to watch it in theaters. However, most if not all of these characters are pretty interesting and not necessarily bad in the films they were in. So it all boils down to the writing and execution.

      There’s also Yelena Belova from Black Widow and Hawkeye, Alexei Shostakov / Red Guardian and Antonia Dreykov / Taksmaster also from Black Widow, Ava Starr / Ghost from Ant-Man and the Wasp, and Bob.

        The Marvels was fun. I get it if you’re part of an audience that isn’t interested in this type of movie, but for what it was it certainly didn’t suck.

    Had no familiarity with this, so assumed Florence Pugh’s character was male from this poster (not that any that matters, of course).

    This looks more like one of those ai movie posters than an actual poster. Also, “careful who you assemble” holy shit lol this is actually garbage
