Its Thursday preview figures are in, and it introduced dwelling a slim $6.5 million. For comparability, latest DC flop The Flash accrued $9.7 million for its personal previews.

Nonetheless, Marvel followers have at all times handled the God of Mischief like an actual deity — and now, no less than, he formally is.
