Iman Vellani is not sweating the box office numbers for her film The Marvels. In fact, she’s more interested in celebrating the positive feedback the movie has received. In a recent interview with Yahoo Entertainment, the actress made it clear that she’s not losing any sleep over the financial return for the movie, saying “That’s for Bob Iger” in reference to Disney CEO Bob Iger.
With an opening weekend of $46.1 million in North America, The Marvels had the worst debut in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But Iman Vellani isn’t bothered, and she’s focusing on the things that matter to her. She’s thrilled to hear from audience members who have enjoyed the film, and she’s happy with the finished product. “I’m just so happy that I can share it with people,” she said.
And when it comes to the negative responses to the film, Vellani is taking it all in stride. She’s not concerned with box office numbers, and she’s got the legendary Stephen King in her corner, who recently criticized the negative reactions to the movie. Having the support of someone as iconic as Stephen King is pretty awesome, to say the least.
But the challenges keep coming for The Marvels. The film is currently experiencing Marvel Studios’ worst second-weekend decline ever, along with the worst drop for any Hollywood superhero feature. However, Vellani isn’t letting any of this dampen her spirits.
The Marvels, directed by Nia DaCosta, also stars Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris, and Samuel L. Jackson. The project is a big deal, and it’s a fun movie that Vellani is proud to be a part of. She’s not letting the box office numbers overshadow the excitement of sharing this film with audiences. It has superheroes, it takes place in space, and it’s all about teamwork and sisterhood. It’s a lighthearted, entertaining movie, and Vellani is choosing to focus on the positive aspects of the experience.
Ultimately, Iman Vellani’s nonchalant attitude towards the box office numbers is refreshing. In a world where success is often measured by financial returns, it’s nice to see a young star embrace the joy of storytelling and the impact it has on audiences. So, let’s take a page out of Vellani’s book and focus on the things that bring us happiness. Whether it’s a good movie, a delicious meal, or a funny joke, there’s always something worth celebrating. And if all else fails, remember that you’ve got Stephen King in your corner – and that’s pretty awesome.
