Disney has been mocked by Fox News presenter Greg Gutfeld, after they recorded the "worst box office opening weekend" for their latest Marvel movie.
The Marvels, starring Brie Larson, Iman Vellani and Teyonah Parris, sees their superhero characters Captain Marvel, Ms Marvel and Monica Rambeau embark on a new adventure after discovering their powers are connected.
The 33rd instalment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and sequel to 2019’s billion-dollar blockbuster "Captain Marvel" has recorded the worst opening figures at the box office for a Marvel movie.
In its opening weekend, the movie made just $47 million in North America and $63 million internationally, ranking the worst performing Marvel hit since 2008’s “The Incredible Hulk”, which scored the studio $55.4 million and kicked off the cinematic leg of the franchise.

The film's poor performance follows growing fatigue from Disney and Marvel fans, as the studios attempt to push more "woke" agendas in their films.
Fans hit out at Disney in recent years after casting an African-American singer for their live action remake of The Little Mermaid, and removing dwarves completely from their upcoming remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
Reacting to the news on Fox, host Greg Gutfeld shared his thoughts on the figures, blasting Disney for ensuring "every cast must be as colourful as a bag of peanut M&M's and twice as nutty".
Gutfeld jibed that the latest Marvel release for fans is "as entertaining as counting the liver spots on President Biden's thighs".
Criticising the increasingly "woke" messaging in Disney and Marvel's projects, Gutfeld said: "They keep trying to get us to see movies with a message, but are they getting our message? Have they finally realised that most of us would rather be dry shaved with a cheese grater than spend 25 bucks being scolded by a virtue signalling cartoon?
"Reviews for the flick have been brutal. Apparently the problems include the script, the acting, the casting, the plot. Aside from that, it's a masterpiece.
Gutfeld continued: "It's so bad the theatres are making grief counsellors available to viewers after the film.
"It stars the ultra woke Brie Larson, who's never made a movie you've seen, and she stinks so bad. Her first name shouldn't be Brie, it should be Limburger, am I right?"

Discussing the audience's dwindling relationship with Disney, Gutfeld argued: "The woke idea of making all the superheroes a group of fully diverse females, beating people up as if they're guys, was based on the assumption that there is an audience for that.
"The problem is the audience these producers and directors thinks exist. It doesn't. That's because the audience doesn't think like your average Hollywood producer. They aren't cowards like them.
"Audience want a good movie, not phony virtue signalling from a bunch of elitist PC ***wipes trying to appeal to a select group of outraged activists.
"You want proof? It's in the numbers. Has anyone noticed that women flocked to see Barbie, but not The Marvels? Barbie made a billion dollars acknowledging that women would go see a movie about a doll."
