Even though there was a diverse cast with big names like the Game of Thrones duo Kit Harrington, Richard Madden, and Angelina Jolie, the movie wasn’t a fan favorite. Something was missing! However, the production costs made up to more than 200 million dollars, it is considered compared to its highest-grossing Marvel movies. So, it is safe to assume that it was a flop and not quite worth the manufacturing money.
