Disney Activist Criticized for Remarks on Diversity in Marvel Films

Activist investor Nelson Peltz, vying for two Disney board seats, criticized the company's "woke" approach, questioning the all-female cast in "The Marvels" and the all-Black cast in "Black Panther." Peltz, backed by Trian Partners, expressed skepticism about the commercial success of such films, prompting a debate on storytelling versus advocacy. The proxy-vote campaign is seen as linked to a personal agenda against former Marvel chairman Ike Perlmutter, who opposed movies with diverse leads. Peltz's Trian supports CEO Bob Iger but seeks new board members, withholding votes for Iger's reelection.

"Unraveling Madame Web: The Marvels' Missed Opportunity"

Madame Web, a female-centered superhero movie, has been widely criticized for its poor quality and low box office performance, while The Marvels, another female-centered superhero movie, received unfair scrutiny despite being a solid comic book movie. The Marvels faced review bombing and backlash, leading to disappointing box office numbers, while Madame Web's chaotic press tour and meme-worthy trailer line did not help its case. The comparison highlights the challenges faced by female-centered superhero projects and the need to ground these movies in compelling characters, rather than churning out content for the sake of it.

"The Marvels Set to Stream on Disney+ from February 7"

The Marvels will be available for streaming on Disney Plus starting February 7th, following its underwhelming box-office debut. The film's performance has been attributed to various factors, including audience fatigue with the MCU and Disney's overall content quality. Despite a solid audience score and decent critical reception, the film's box-office earnings fell short of breaking even, with a combined budget of $320 million. Its release on Disney Plus may provide a new opportunity to attract viewers and tap into the built-in audience of other MCU titles featuring its stars, but the impact on Disney's bottom line remains uncertain.

The Box Office Battle: Wonka vs. Marvel

The box office success of "Wonka" compared to "The Marvels" can be attributed to several factors. While "The Marvels" technically made more money in its opening weekend, its higher budget and a significant drop in ticket sales during its second week affected its overall earning potential. Additionally, "The Marvels" faced criticism that seemed to unfairly target its Black, female director, Nia DaCosta. On the other hand, "Wonka" benefited from being a family-friendly nostalgia bomb and managed to perform well despite the decline in popularity of movie musicals. These contrasting outcomes highlight the importance of handling intellectual property in a fresh and creative manner to resonate with audiences.

Disney CEO Acknowledges Lack of Supervision and Overabundance of Sequels in Marvel's Performance

Disney CEO Bob Iger believes that one of the reasons for the underperformance of the latest Marvel film, The Marvels, is the lack of executive supervision on set during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Disney's Thanksgiving Box Office Woes: 'Wish' and 'The Marvels' Fail to Impress

Disney's box office struggles continue as their latest release, "Wish," underperforms during the Thanksgiving holiday with a lackluster $31.7 million opening. This adds to a string of disappointing 2023 releases for Disney, including "The Marvels" and "The Haunted Mansion." The studio's once-dominant position in the box office has been challenged, with analysts pointing to factors such as the pandemic-era reliance on streaming, creative shortcomings, and an overdependence on popular brands. Despite this, Disney still holds several of the highest-grossing releases worldwide, but the lack of billion-dollar blockbusters marks a significant departure from their previous success. The studio is now looking to refocus and regain its former box office dominance.
