Iman Vellani on below-par box office performance of ‘The Marvels’

Iman Vellani says she isn't worried about the below-par box office collections of her latest film The Marvels and the actress would rather celebrate the positive feedback coming her way for the Marvel Studios movie.

The Canadian actress, who plays Kamala Khan/ superhero Ms Marvel in the feature film from director Nia DaCosta, referenced Bob Iger, the CEO of Marvel Studios' parent company Disney, when asked about the box office returns of the film.


Also starring Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris, and Samuel L Jackson, The Marvels hit the screens on November 10 and earned USD 46.1 million in North America on day one, marking the worst opening in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

"I don't want to focus on something that's not even in my control, because what's the point? That's for Bob Iger," said Vellani, who made her debut as Kamala Khan with the Disney+ miniseries Ms Marvel in 2022.

The 21-year-old said she is happy to receive reviews from audience members who have enjoyed the film.

"(The box office) has nothing to do with me. I'm 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," she told Yahoo Entertainment website.

The Marvels also stars Zawe Ashton, Gary Lewis, Park Seo-joon, Zenobia Shroff, Mohan Kapur, and Saagar Shaikh.

Strictly Come Dancing 2025 finale: Who is most likely to win on Saturday night?

Highlights:

  • Strictly Come Dancing 2025 reaches its BBC One final on Saturday 20 December.
  • Karen Carney is odds-on to win, with George Clarke second favourite and Amber Davies an outsider.
  • Each finalist performs three dances, including a showdance.
  • Bookmakers give Carney more than a 70 per cent chance of lifting the trophy.
  • The final marks Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman’s last show together.

The Strictly Come Dancing 2025 final arrives on Saturday, with three names left on the call sheet, three showdances in rehearsal rooms, and a tight betting market placing former England footballer Karen Carney at the front. In a year that has lost contestants to injury, nerves, and the usual Saturday jeopardy, the programme has kept a simple through-line: steady improvement still counts. Carney’s name sits at the top of the lists, while social media performer George Clarke chases, and late-entry Amber Davies gets ready for a swing at the title.
