Marvel Cinematic Universe, although none of them share a single scene together
A genre-bending life story based on Stephen King’s novel in three chapters about an ordinary man named Charles Krantz. Hiddleston is Loki and is most associated with the Thor (2011) films and the Loki (2021) TV series, Gillan is Nebula and is most associated with the Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) films, Ejiofor is Baron Mordo from Doctor Strange (2016) films, while Dastmalkyan is Kurtz from the first 2 Ant-Man films and the web movie Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania (2023).
I assumed the film would be a horror film and I was wrong
Flynn reference from the first line: SLEEPING DOGS: Karen Gillan, Adam Cooper, moderator Perri Nemiroff (2024). I went into Chuck’s life knowing nothing about him other than the Stephen King novel.
That said – Chuck’s life took on the rhythm of a great horror movie
Mike Flanagan was a director I also didn’t know, so my expectations were really low. insert them.
I recommend it
I want to keep my review relatively vague, because I think the film’s hook works best without any knowledge. I left the film feeling a mixture of joy and melancholy and appreciating the artistry that got me there.
