Yes, that's a 12 year old Natalie Portman in Kevin Costner's Robin Hood film.

It's the Marvel entry I am most interested in this year, but yeah, I fully expect this to start lower than Captain Falcon. Adjusting for inflation, almost certainly in the bottom five, possibly as bad as fighting with Ant-Man (I believe currently) for second worst.
Obviously if it is good you would hope it has some legs - I believe it doesn't have any major budget competition until Mission Impossible three weeks later, which had its own underwhelming results last time around as well. But it is also possible everyone just shrugs and waits for D+.
I guess we'll see if there's any embarrassing "Thanos is coming back!" marketing a la The Marvels as to how worried Disney is.

I have as much interest in this as I did Madame Web. Absolute zero. I despise the fat retard from stranger things and I hate anything to do with the useless black widows. Bucky not being Captain America is beyond infuriating. And I don't know who the rest of them are other than one being a gender swapped girlboss.
No thanks. Pure distilled garbage.

My opinion:
Black Widow was not a good movie, but Florence Pugh in both that and especially the Hawkeye show may legitimately be the most charismatic character post-Endgame.
(Actually, add that to the near-infinite list of post-Endgame Disney problems - the only great castings were Pugh, Hailee Steinfeld, and maybe Wyatt Russell - all pre-established actors that had starred in their own Hollywood films prior to joining Marvel.)
I honestly liked Harbour as surrogate dad and fanboy in Black Widow.
As a Byrne-era West Coast Avengers guy, I am fine with more US Agent.
Sebastian Stan is still giving it his all, even if Marvel doesn't know what they're doing with him.
Sure, Ghost and Taskmaster were non-entities in their movies, and I dropped out of comics long before Sentry came long, but 4/7 ain't bad for modern Marvel.

Not surprised, just disappointed. Johnny Storm that is into his feelings and Sue Storm that is going to tell men in the 50's that women can do anything they can!!!!!! sounds like a retarded fucking movie.

No. Simply amazed that they aren't learning from their long list of giant failures with girl boss types that no one wants to see. Men don't want to see them. Women don't want to see them. 100% this Sue person is going to be a carbon copy of Captain Marvel.
I knew it was a lost cause when I saw the cast. FFS, a bunch of geriatrics in the main roles. I can't imagine who they could have plugged into the role of Sue Storm to get an instant win
but they got some old woman who is going to have the presence of a used toothpick.
I'm guessing the movie will do just ok, but it won't be the reboot they want.

I'm more impressed that Disney is more than happy to lose hundreds of millions of dollars to maintain "the message". Is ActBlue funneling money to their coffers?

I already have my ticket for this. I'm all about 3D IMAX, and I bring my own lenses that sit on top of my normal movie/driving glasses.
They're pretty much this.

That's where you are wrong, it will be the reboot they want.
Just not the reboot we want.
