Afterwords, media fundamentally changed in the country, and a range of post-’90s Iranian films shadowing this era gained much attention throughout the years, garnering high-profile awards on the international scale (at film festivals like Cannes, Venice, and Berlin)....

However, when Taika Waititi (What We Do in the Shadows, The Mandalorian) took over the role of directing the franchise, the God of Thunder’s solo films had a tonal overhaul....
