There are few who haven’t heard about Serena Williams and her husband Alexis Ohanian’s intense love for Marvel. From sharing their admiration for the superhero Black Panther to enjoying Marvel movies together, Williams and Ohanian have set couple goals for many. While people expected them to continue the tradition, a dose of excessive violence led Williams to take a different approach. Helpless, Ohanian, forced by his wife’s decision, shared his thoughts after watching the movie.

Ohanian, active on social media, tweeted about his experience watching the latest Hollywood release, Deadpool & Wolverine. Mentioning how his famous wife, Serena Williams, decided to skip the movie due to its sheer violence, Ohanian wrote, “I had to go and see it (too violent for the Mrs.) by myself because I was tired of being so nervous online. That one epic cameo was the only one I knew about going in.” 

Ohanian also took a moment to congratulate the film’s extraordinarily skilled cast for delivering a movie that met fans’ expectations. “Finally saw #DeadpoolAndWolverine this weekend and it was everything I hoped it’d would be be and MORE. Great work, @VancityReynolds Hugh Jackman + @ShawnLevyDirect— thank you!” tweeted the Reddit co-founder.

In 2021, Marvel released its first Asian-American superhero character, Shang-Chi, portrayed by Canadian actor Simu Liu. After gaining popularity with his character, Liu used his platform to amplify the voices of his community. He wrote and published a book titled We Were Dreamers. Ohanian not only read the book but also praised Liu’s book. “@SimuLiu⁩ great read – great book – raw and honest and compelling as hell – It’s just the start!!”  tweeted Ohanian.
