Marvel’sAnt-Man and the Wasp: QuantumaniaNominated For The Razzies
2024 continues to be a tough year for Marvel Studios as their 2023 filmAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniawas one of the most hyped films for the superhero franchise. However, the sequel was immensely disappointing as it could not live up to its hype at the box office, and critics bombed the film with negative reviews.
The harsh criticism was partly countered by Jonathan Majors’ performance as Kang the Conqueror, who was a chilling antagonist that the fans loved to watch. Unfortunately, that was not enough to save the sequel from being featured in 4 nominations at the 2024 Golden Raspberry Awards which includes Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel as perThe Razzies.
Getting nominated at the Golden Raspberry Awards is an embarrassing distinction for them because it is the first time that a Marvel film has been nominated for the award. The nomination rubs more salt into the wound for not only Kevin Feige but also for Jonathan Majors whose outstanding performance could not save the film from complete oblivion and getting nominated for the award.
