> Others have attributed *The Marvels*’ opening to racism and misogyny; it was directed by a Black woman and two of the film’s leads are POC. I am hesitant to make that the takeaway, as it seems like the kind of excuse studios have historically used to ignore POC films, especially those starring and directed by women. That’s not to say that misogyny and racism aren’t there, but the successes of *Barbie* and the female-led *Wakanda Forever* run counter to that narrative.
