Doctor Strange Director Shares Opinion on Underrated Marvel Films

Scott Derrickson, the director of Doctor Strange, recently shared his thoughts on the ranking of Marvel movies in an article. While he agreed with most of the list and was happy to see Doctor Strange rank high, he disagreed with the placement of Captain America: The First Avenger and Black Panther. According to Derrickson, these movies are underrated and don't get the credit they deserve.

Derrickson specifically singled out Captain America: The First Avenger as a movie with one of the richest origin stories in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and praised it for being one of the most beautifully shot films in the franchise. He also noted that the way the film handled Captain America's progression from propaganda tool to war hero was expertly done and flowed organically.

Derrickson's comments serve as a reminder of Marvel Studios' humble beginnings with its B-tier heroes, whose stories audiences weren't initially familiar with when they premiered their origin stories. Despite this, Marvel Studios managed to get fans invested in the upcoming collaboration and build a strong fanbase. While Marvel Studios has since reached new heights with its films and received Academy Award nominations, it's important to recognize the role that movies like Captain America: The First Avenger played in establishing the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Karen Gilan Explains Her Weird Pose On The Guardians Of The Galaxy 3 Poster

Scott Derrickson, the director of Doctor Strange, shared his thoughts on the ranking of Marvel movies in an article. While he agreed with most of the list, he disagreed with the placement of Captain America: The First Avenger and Black Panther, which he felt were both underrated. In particular, he praised Captain America: The First Avenger for having a rich origin story and being one of the most beautifully shot films in the entire Marvel universe. His comments serve as a reminder of how far Marvel Studios has come since its early days, and how even its "B-tier" heroes played a role in building the fanbase that has made Marvel Studios the success it is today.

It's worth noting that Karen Gillan, who plays Nebula in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, recently explained her strange pose on the poster for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. On her Instagram account, she shared a picture of the poster and wrote, "Just to explain this weird pose - I was asked to look like I was falling while walking towards camera. I hope that clears things up." The poster features Gillan's character walking towards the camera with her arms outstretched and a confused expression on her face.

It's not uncommon for movie posters to have strange or unusual poses, and it's interesting to get some behind-the-scenes insight into the thought process behind them. Fans are eagerly anticipating the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which is set to hit theaters in May 2023.

It's remarkable to reflect on Marvel Studios' humble beginnings, when they were working with B-tier heroes that were unfamiliar to audiences. At that time, creating a quality film around a character like Captain America was a significant achievement in and of itself. Marvel Studios got their fans invested in their upcoming collaborations by introducing lesser-known characters through their origin stories. Over the course of more than a decade, Marvel Studios has evolved to a point where their films are nominated for Academy Awards, making it easy to forget their humble beginnings.

Derrickson makes a valid point about Captain America: The First Avenger. The film establishes Steve Rogers' character as a man of strong values and beliefs before he gains superhuman abilities as a super soldier. The way the movie depicts his transformation from a propaganda tool to a genuine war hero is well-executed and flows organically. Although the third act of the movie could have been better, the enjoyable first two acts make up for it. While the movie didn't singlehandedly build Marvel's fanbase, it played a role in generating excitement among fans for the third installment of the C-Tier Marvel hero Ant-Man, even to this day.
