It will fail in part because Brie Larson is miscast. She only got the role because she won an Oscar and Marvel wouldn't hire anyone over 30.

” She only got the role ...”

Wait, Captain Marvel is a SHE???

I thought Captain Marvel was a man in the comics...

Captain Marvel, at the least the current incarnation, is a woman who enjoy taking the fight to the opponent. She kicks butt while slinging one-liners.

They aren’t showing that in the trailers. That’s why there is speculation that it will under perform.

Georgia Department of Transportation is tres hawt.

Good reason to watch Wonder Woman. And it was still a lousy movie.

A female superhero saves the universe from Thanos.

Sorry I have to switch to Lord of the Rings for some reality.

Odd article...

Why speculate before anyone has seen the movie unless the test screenings are coming in bad and Disney doesn’t have the funds for reshoots? (And they don’t - they just whacked a chunk of entertainers at the parks and raised rates across the board along with instituting daily pricing where they’ll jack up the price even more during the more popular periods)

From the excerpt you posted the single reason that was given for a predicted lackluster box office was the scheduling of the movie.

The movie will do well. It ties in with Avengers 3 and 4 and introduces a character that will likely have significant impact in the resolution of Infinity Wars. The teaser trailer looked great and the Kree/Skrull War that she will be in the midst of in Captain Marvel is one of the most acclaimed stories of all time, at least when it ran in the comics.

Honestly, my only concern with the movie is that it will have a female director. Not sure a female director has the chops to make a movie that will fit well into the MCU mold. I know WW was directed by a female and I’ve not seen it yet. However, given how much Wonder Woman was acclaimed, even if it only does as well as Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel will be a success.

And it will make more money than Wonder Woman did. I have no doubt.

How can a movie that has Skrulls possibly fail?

That’s what I felt when I first heard that she had the part. I would have cast Katee Sackhoff (Starbuck) from Battlestar Galactica in the role (but she’d be 38 this year).

Brie Larson, in my humble opinion, will deliver a somewhat weak Captain Marvel.

And they’ll blame it on Trump, like they did with the all-female “Ghostbusters”.

When I saw this was about Captain Marvel I figured it was that comefy film called Shazam.

This was the first Marvel trailer that made the movie look boring. Brie Larson lacks any charisma, in the trailer and in Kong. I’m trying to stay open about it, but I know at some point Marvel’s SJWness will eventually take over. I’m hoping this movie is not the MCU’s “Last Jedi”.

I still want to know where Wonder Woman kept her shield.
One scene its there...the next its gone.
Other that that, I liked the movie.

If you want to see the original Captain Marvel here it is on Youtube from 1941. I watched this last year and it was great, yes corny at times, but still pretty good.

Billy Batson was a disabled News Paper Boy, the story has been changed, and appears to be more of a comedy. I remember the comics of the 40’s and the serials in the movies. They should stick to the original classic version like the 1st new Capt America did with the red skull. (Not the 1940’s 0ne)

Wonder Woman was not a blockbuster. Not compared to actual blockbuster movies.
