Only the Marvel Cinematic Universe could generate a sweeping sense of reactionary panic – The Marvels finds itself.
Online scuttlebutt has pegged try and salvage a serviceable film from what’s sure to be an outright disaster.
Of course, none of the above has an ounce of weight behind it seeing as we won’t be seeing The Marvels until November, and there’s nowhere in the rulebook where it says a shorter superhero spectacular is a bad one. Somehow, we’ve been conditioned to expect them to run for at least 120 minutes and change, and shaving almost half an hour from the norm could be a blessing in disguise.
We can’t overlook the fact that The Marvels‘ immediate predecessor happened to run for a combined total of 223 minutes, but indicating that money and minutes don’t mean a damn thing in relation to the quality of the end product.
And yet, The Marvels is already facing accusations that it’s doomed because it lasts less than 100, so go figure.
