The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has been taking quite a beating lately. Recent news have reportedly claimed that Marvel Studios is ‘in crisis’, with box office numbers down and controversies swirling around some of its future slate of films.

So it does seem apt that the MCU’s latest film is titled The Marvels, as if to remind us that the company may have more than just one Marvel up its sleeves. Happily, it is also one of its most fun (and funny) movies of late.
