Usually the failure ends in the cash register with apologies for the studio and a few uncomfortable interviews. But in the case of Kwantomania, everything went a bit further – the film disappointed not only critics and spectators, it seems to have become the last drop for two franchise actors at the same time.
After the release of the third part of the “Man-Man” in February 2023, Marvel was confronted with unpleasant reality: even superheroes no longer saved. With a bloated budget of $ 330 million, the film could not even go to zero. Maximum on rotten tomatoes – boring 46%, fatigue of the audience from the endless parts of the cinema. As a result, one of the highest cash agencies in Marvel for the whole time.
The summary of the number of “quantomania” is this:
- Budget: $ 330 million
- Costs at the Kassa: $ 476 million
- The payback time: $ 600 million
- Critics Assessment on Rotten Tomato: 46%
Immediately afterwards, staff losses started. In the summer of 2024, Evandzelin Lilly, not only known in Marvel, said ‘surviving’ and ‘Hobbit’, that she left the profession. Formal – because of family and charity projects.
In social networks she wrote: “Sometimes to leave the obvious choice – glory and money – scary. But I choose what gives a sense of meaning.”
However, she does not exclude the return, but in the near future she has no plans to shoot.
Now Michael Douglas came to her.
During the festival in Karlovy, the actor immediately varies: “I consciously do not work since 2022. I don’t want to be the one who will die on the set.”
Douglas added that in the profession in the profession he had managed everything he wanted, and now he would like “playing the role of her husband” next to Katherine Zeta-Jones. He did not state a formal end of his career, but emphasized that he was not going to constantly return.
It is interesting that for Lilly and Douglas “Quantomania” the last project remains in filmography. Douglas will still have one drama – “look through water”, where he played with his son. But in fact it was Marvel who set the point – albeit not the most triumphal – in a career of two actors at the same time.
