Lenore Zann Recalled Watching Marvel Movies With Cousins
Brie Larson’s The Marvels was released after a string of superhero flops, when the entertainment industry was dealing with the SAG-AFTRA strikes as well as the concept of superhero fatigue. Therefore as these underlying factors attributed to the downfall of the film, The Marvels witnessed a poor box office performance that allowed the film to earn $199M which was merely 0.7 times its production budget (via The Numbers).
Therefore, although The Marvels witnessed a massive drop in ticket sales, which overshadowed the movie’s strengths, leading to it becoming the lowest-grossing MCU movie, X-Men ’97 voice actor Lenore Zann admitted loving it. While fans might not agree with her opinion on Brie Larson’s film, the actress proceeded to discuss her appreciation for the Marvel franchise.
“I have enjoyed all of their recent movies, the Multiverse of Madness, I loved that one. I was lucky at Christmas time.”
“I went home to Australia where I’m originally from and spent Christmas and New Year’s with my Australian cousins. They love Marvel and they have a big home screen like a home theatre in their home so we sat every night would watch Marvel movies and we just had the best time.”
Lenore Zann claimed to be a big Marvel fan, which might have acted as a driving force towards her role as Rogue in X-Men ’97. Recalling her life back in Australia where she spent her time watching Marvel movies with her cousins, Zann mentioned enjoying almost every MCU movie so far.
