How did the community react to the poster and first images? Not very positively. Many criticized the look of the costumes. For instance, one user commented under the official poster: “Cosplay: The Movie,” while another mentioned that it looked like an image from Suicide Squad.

Additionally, the choice of actors is also criticized. Especially Kevin Hart as Roland is seen as inappropriate by many fans; they just can’t take him seriously as a comedy star in this role. Instead, they would have preferred Idris Elba, Michael B. Jordan, or Anthony Mackie in the role.
