‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ got Mantis all wrong, says character creator

“Well, I was not happy with Mantis’ portrayal,” Englehart said. “That character has nothing to do with Mantis. I will say that I liked the film quite a bit overall, they’re doing good stuff and I enjoyed my night at the movies so long as I turned my brain off to the fact that that’s not Mantis up there. I really don’t know why you would take a character who is as distinctive as Mantis is and do a completely different character and still call her Mantis. That I do not know.”
