Part 7/8:
In conclusion, the situation surrounding The Marvels' budget exemplifies how misinformation can distort public perception. The true costs of blockbuster films are complex and often undisclosed until long after their release. As industry insiders point out, it's almost certain that The Marvels will have a budget comparable to other major Marvel movies—likely in the $200-$250 million range—far above the misleading headlines of $130 million.
Until official financial disclosures are made, which may not happen until a year or more post-release, fans and critics should approach these figures with skepticism. As always, a deeper understanding of film financing reveals that what we see in headlines is often just the tip of the iceberg.
