I decided to skip this morning’s press screening of “The Marvels” and instead watched “Saltburn.” I figured I can catch it at another screening tomorrow morning. Judging by the early reactions, if Disney had any hope that good reviews could maybe benefit the box-office of ‘Marvels’ then they’re out of luck. The embargo has lifted and critics don’t seem to like the movie. It’s at 54% on Rotten Tomatoes and 54 on Metacritic. As it stands, within the MCU cannon, only “Ant-Man and the Wasp” and “Eternals” have had worse reviews than “The Marvels.”
Originally, Cregger was reported to be directing “Gladys.” He then dropped out. He was also supposed to co-write the script with Zach Shields, and apparently now he isn’t.
