Jonathan Majors not only focuses on his work but also relativizes by recalling that the opinions of specialized critics are just that: opinions. After ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ screenwriter Jeff Loveness reacted to the negative reviews the film has garnered, this actor, who plays Kang, the main villain of Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic UniverseHe too wanted to fight back.
He did so in statements to the IndieWire podcast, ‘Screen Talk’, assuring that he tries to pay attention to the feelings his roles arouse, but that if his characters are applauded but the film they belong to gets the occasional beating, that’s something that seems secondary to him. “[Las críticas negativas] they don’t change the way I see myself, period. They are given. I play a role within a story. When we leave a premiere, if my team is reading reviews, I try to ask how the movie is going to pay attention to my side. If they tell me ‘it’s okay, they like you’ and they tell me about the movie [y no es así]… let’s just say the movie is at that level sometimes too and sometimes [no]”.
As for the journalists tasked with evaluating their films, Majors points this out “They’re just people. They have an opinion. You always have an opinion. I’m not stupid, I know these are people who write this [se dedican a ello]They’re not my Yale professors or my drama teachers. These are people who have kids and have a perspective, a religious upbringing or lack thereof, they want to be seen one way or another.”abandoning that professionals have their own interests “and if you are critical of a certain level, I know you and understand your politics”.

Loveness adds that her feelings changed as audiences embraced the film much more warmly.
