2023 has not been a stellar year for the Marvel Cinematic Universe thus far. However, it appears that the most disappointing superhero movie of the year will not come from Marvel, but from DC. The Flash’s box office predictions have been steadily decreasing, making it likely to bomb. Meanwhile, a decade-old interview suggests that Chris Hemsworth may have actually time-traveled through the Quantum Realm.
Marvel Studios Breathes a Sigh of Relief as The Flash Becomes the Biggest Superhero Movie Bomb of 2023
The Flash has received mixed reviews from both fans and critics and is projected to have a disappointing opening weekend at the box office.

Chris Hemsworth’s Decade-Old Interview Reveals His Thoughts on Thor: Love and Thunder
In a recent revelation, Chris Hemsworth admitted that he agrees the film Thor: Love and Thunder did not live up to its potential and became “too silly.” Interestingly, Hemsworth actually expressed similar sentiments about the film’s plot a decade ago. Resurfaced comments show Hemsworth expressing relief that the Marvel Cinematic Universe had moved away from a traditional aspect of Thor’s character, calling it “not too cool.” It seems that Hemsworth’s prediction was accurate.

The upcoming Disney Plus series Secret Invasion is expected to be darker and grittier than previous Marvel projects. This tone was encouraged by none other than Kevin Feige himself. Director Ali Selim revealed that Feige specifically requested a more violent approach for the show. It’s surprising to see Feige, known for making Marvel family-friendly, advocate for such a change. It makes you wonder if he’s been replaced by a Skrull.
Despite the darkness of Secret Invasion, there’s still room for heartwarming interactions behind the scenes. Stay tuned for more updates from the Marvel Universe.
