About a month ago, you couldn't move for people authoritatively claiming that Captain Marvel was going to be a record flop for Marvel Studios. Their reasoning was that Brie Larson's milquetoast comments on feminism would surely torpedo the film's box office chances. They said that Disney was so terrified by the failure (?) of Star Wars: The Last Jedi that they were terrified of losing the white male market. They claimed there was insider information that Disney and Marvel Studios had already concluded that the film would be a disaster and might be already scrubbing Captain Marvel from Avengers: Endgame.
