Iman Vellani and Teyonah Parris MissedThe MarvelsPremiere
The Marvels, starringBrie Larson,Iman Vellani, and Teyonah Parris, directed by Nia DaCosta, is hitting theaters soon. It’s a sequel toCaptain Marvel—which made a ton of money. But it looks like the new movie doesn’t expect the same massive box office success.
The last movie,Captain Marvel,benefited because it was tied directly toAvengers: Infinity WarandAvengers: Endgame, which helped build excitement.
But more than the film’s box office success, fans were disappointed when they found out that the breakout star of the Disney+ series,Ms. Marvel,andWandaVision‘s actress were both missing from the premiere amid the SAG-AFTRA strike.
Iman missing the premiere of her first movie and Teyonah still not being able to attend a Marvel premiere makes me so sad

The upcoming superhero film is Vellani’s first film, and that’s why fans wanted her to attend this premiere. Fans just wanted to see their favorite celebrities on the red carpet during a premiere event. They said that without the presence of these stars, the premiere felt lackluster.

Fans Wanted to SeeThe MarvelsStars to Attend The Premiere
Fans are pretty mad aboutThe Marvelsstars missing their Las Vegas premiere on Tuesday. One fan commented on the X post,“I hate that this strike went for so long, this press tour would’ve been everything.”
I hate that this strike went for so long, this press tour would’ve been everything
While another fan hoped for the strike to end before the film rollout. Another wished that they could“at least get them [The Marvels actors] on a talk show together.”
I’m hoping that the strike ends just in time as the film rolls out 🥲

we can hopefully at least get them on a talk show together
The irony is that the strike ended at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday, November 9, after the SAG-AFTRA TV/Theatrical Committee unanimously approved the agreement on November 8.
It’s both doom and gloom news for the film stars. The strike’s conclusion came just two days after the film’s premiere. Anyway, it opened the door for future promotions and participation of actors in other events.
