Larson had a good quote when Collider asked her about being the first Marvel female girl super powered woman to be the lead in a solo girl movie about a female super hero at Marvel:
"I don’t know. I don’t know how it’s any different. To be honest, I don’t want it to feel different. Kind of over the first female blah, blah, blah. And like, ‘Wow, maybe women can actually do the same things that dudes can do. Like, what a crazy concept!’ You know what I mean? I feel like the more we talk about it, the more we perpetuate the myth that it’s an impossible task. It’s like, no. If it wasn’t like that before it’s because it was wrong. That was just wrong. Now we’re just doing what’s natural."
But then you look at the way they are marketing it... I don’t know. I guess it’s really hard to figure out how to approach these things.
If it does well or doesn’t do well it should only be because of how good or bad it is, but that isn’t the world we live in right now.
The budget is $152 million, which is on the low side for Marvel movies, and certainly low for one set in space. (GotG’s budget was $175 but ballooned to $232), so Marvel doesn’t need this to do anything more than Thor the first Thor’s $450 million worldwide gross. It will surely top that based on the trailer views and this movie’s ties to Infinity War.
