The good news is that it's further proof that Florence Pugh is a dynamic screen talent.

This is a superhero movie about the feelings of inadequacy, self-loathing, and hopelessness that some regular people have trouble acknowledging, let alone superheroes.

This clever, funny, heartfelt antihero story brings several second- and third-string Marvel characters together for their own slapdash adventure, while focusing on themes of trauma and healing.

Remind you of the humanity in the heroism. Maybe these second-rate Avengers really are the heroes that 2025 needs.
