If this goes well, we might get a Kamalah Khan movie. That'll really have Clearspira talking about the MCU's first failure until it airs! :)

Very easily? That applies to pretty much any movie that doesn't involve excessive physical labor.

Called it! They've started their 'look at the drop rate!' Headlines with no context for what is 'normal' in the industry.

Wait a second why isn't the bald black chick on the right not listed in the billing?

Perhaps she's not actually in the movie enough to get top billing by whatever arcane formulae decide these things; if she's still in Wakanda holding the country together while the movie's following Team Wimbledon she might just have a scene or two. But - again, guessing - the design folks probably wanted someone from Wakanda on the poster just since everyone loves them, and with T'Challa impersonating one of his sister's granular 3D tables at the moment, Okoye's next in line, but graphics placement and billing are likely decided in separate meetings, and whoever signed off on the final product missed it.

I gather Marvel's redone the top billing line to add her, now that folks have noticed.
