There are a lot of perceptions that go into something like being a part of a major movie or television property. And one of them is the belief that you “have to like everything put out” by the company you work for. Except, that’s not how it works at all. As proven by Iman Vellani, who is the star of Ms. Marvel. She’s a VERY passionate Marvel Comics nerd, and when it came to one movie…she had opinions to be had.
That movie would be Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and she noted in an interview that she did NOT like what happened with the Illuminati, and to one of them in particular:
“I have so many opinions, which I don’t think we have time for,” Vellani explained to EliteDaily. “Here’s my TL;DR. I love Sam Raimi… I don’t care what anyone says. [Black Bolt is] my guy. I think they did him dirty. I did not appreciate that.”
Nor did a lot of other people. Many felt it was a “pulling the rug” out from under fans after they got a moment to cheer about. And clearly, Vellani is in that group.
Vellani also talked about how in Multiverse of Madness they state that the MCU universe is the Marvel-616 universe, and she didn’t like that either.
“Every time I talk to Kevin, we have this argument where I say, ‘The MCU is not 616,'” Vellani revealed. “He’s like, ‘It is because I said so.’ I’m like, ‘No, it’s 199999’ [a different Earth continuity previously outlined by Marvel]. He hates it. So, we keep having this argument, and then they put 616 in the movie. I’m like, ‘Kevin, you know it’s not 616.’ He just sends me a sad face. I was like, ‘Great.'”
But fear not, she won’t be in trouble (we hope), especially since Ms. Marvel is getting GREAT reviews so far and everyone is in love with Vellani’s portrayal of Kamala Khan. So she’ll be fine…for now.
