‘Give her a f*cking raise!’: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Gorgeous Trailer Has Made Fans Demand To Give Cinematographer Autumn a Raise as First Visuals Show How Bad MCU Has Been
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) media franchise is a globally loved and successful firm, having delivered amazing movies for over a decade. With a few misses and mostly hits, the media company has amassed both praise and money. However, the 4th phase of movies in MCU’s scheme of plans has received heavy criticism for numerous reasons.
Phase 4 mostly consists of bringing a bunch of new characters into the MCU and introducing the multiverse concept. This new shift from MCU’s long run of successful movies and sequels of already established characters has not lived up to its expectations. A major flaw the media franchise has been criticized for lately is bland character costumes. Things, however, seem to be positively changing for Marvel. With the official release of the trailer to Black Panther: Wakanda forever.
Will Black Panther: Wakanda Forever be the start of MCU’s revival?
As aforementioned, Marvel has been called out for their bland character costumes and producing movies, not as pleasing visually as they previously had. Phase 4 movies and series in particular seemed to follow this flawed trend. Nonetheless, the release of the trailer of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has fans in awe. The sequel to 2018’s blockbuster Black Panther, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever reignites fans’ faith in MCU. With stunning visuals, amazing shots, and great costumes among other things, the trailer is receiving praise from fans and critics alike.

The cinematographer for the upcoming movie is a woman named Autumn Durald. Autumn previously was responsible for the cinematography for Marvel’s Loki. A series that received praise and acclamation and was among the few exceptions of phase 4 releases, which barely received negative reviews. Durald seems to be gaining the recognition she rightly deserves, with the trailer launch of the new Black Panther movie. Fans took to social media to express their love and support for the 42-year-oldd cinematographer.
Autumn is super talented (and an alum of my film school) she prior/recently did LOKI 🙂

Incredibly talented woman! She also shot Loki, which is imo the best looking MCU project along with Infinity War and Multiverse of Madness.
