'The Marvels' star Iman Vellani on time-travel in MCU movies: 'After my own show, I don't...'

Iman Vellani was recently seen in MCU’s The Marvels, which opened to a dismal response at the box-office. The actress was pretty clear she doesn’t understand the concept of time travel much shown in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and openly spoke about it. In an interview with Inverse, she said, “After my own show, I don’t know," she said. “I appreciate them making rules. And then they just make new ones.” On The Marvels ’ poor box-office Vellani spoke to Yahoo Entertainment about the recent release in an interview published online. During the conversation, Vellani referenced Disney CEO Bob Iger when asked about the financial return for the movie that debuted last weekend to $46.1 million in North America, marking the worst opening in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She said, “I don’t want to focus on something that’s not even in my control, because what’s the point?” said Vellani, who plays Kamala Khan in the feature. “That’s for Bob Iger.” Vellani further added, “The box office has nothing to do with me. I am happy with the finished product, and the people that I care about enjoyed the film. It’s genuinely a good time watching this movie, and that’s all we can ask for with these films. It has superheroes, it takes place in space, it’s not that deep and it’s about teamwork and sisterhood. It’s a fun movie, and I’m just so happy that I can share it with people.” Either way, something is shifting for superheroes. The box-office crown this year appears assured to go to “Barbie,”  the year’s biggest smash with more than $1.4 billion worldwide for Warner Bros. Marvel has still produced recent hits.  “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” launched this summer with $118 million before ultimately raking in $845.6 million worldwide. Sony’s  “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” earned $690.5 million globally and, after rave reviews, is widely expected to be an Oscar contender. (With inputs from The Associated Press)
