[The Epoch Times, March 16, 2024](Compiled and reported by Epoch Times reporter Ye Jie) Last year, “Captain Marvel 2” was widely criticized and became one of Marvel’s poorest-grossing movies. Recently, superhero actress Teyonah Parris believed that many reviews of the film were unfair because many people commented without watching the film.
The 36-year-old Peris plays “Monica Rambeau” in the film. Due to the phenomenon of “superhero fatigue” last year, it could not arouse the interest of the audience, coupled with the difficulties before the release of “Captain Marvel 2” (The Marvels) Due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, Peris was unable to promote the film in person, making the film the worst-grossing Marvel movie. The global box office revenue was only US$206 million, less than the cost budget of US$220 million.
“Captain Marvel 2” also received mixed reviews from film critics on the film review website “Rotten Tomatoes”, with only a 62% approval rating. Brie Larson, who plays “Captain Marvel”, did not want to talk about Marvel in an interview with “Extra” last month. On the 13th local time, Peris talked about Marvel to “The Times” Weishi publicly stated that it hopes the audience can actually watch the film before commenting.

Perez explained that she was saddened by how many people were commenting on “Captain Marvel 2” without having seen it. She said: “I think a lot of people are talking about it without actually seeing what it’s about. So it’s frustrating when a lot of people are commenting on something they haven’t actually experienced. There’s a lot of people A lot of time, effort and talent went into making this movie.”
“I hope everyone will watch this movie or try to see it and give it a fair review. If you don’t like the first 10 or 15 minutes, that’s okay, your time is valuable. But we make these movies To allow everyone to escape from the real world for a while and enjoy that moment of relaxation, joy and fantasy.”
Paris hopes that the audience will give this film a fair chance to comment. She said: “You don’t have to like a certain movie, but please give it a chance to actually watch it and draw your own opinions. If you do That’s it, that’s fair. That’s how you feel and I can’t take that away from you.”
According to “Forbes”, people familiar with the matter recently revealed that Marvel currently has no plans to produce sequels to “The Eternals”, “Captain Marvel” and “Ant-Man” due to poor reviews from critics and poor box office performance.
