The box-office owners are lately in some trouble it seems. Looks like Marvel has no more room for hits and trials. With almost 60 percent of people aged 18 to 44, Marvel easily has one of the biggest fandoms in the world. With 4 movies in the top 10 list of highest-grossing movies of all time, Marvel has always been a delight to superhero lovers.
However, the MCU’s last two phases have been somewhat mediocre according to the fans.Eternals, Thor: Love and Thunder,andBlack Widowfell short of our expectations in phase 4. To fans’ utter disappointment, evenAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniadidn’t kickstart a glamorous Phase 5. However, Marvel is taking some risks to get its reputation back on track with upcoming films.
Last Chance for Marvel to Prove Its Worth to Its Fans and Streaming Partner
Lately, Marvel faced a lot of criticism regarding its last two phases. Most of the movies and shows were met with criticism. Not only fans, but even the MCU’s official streaming partner, Disney, is pretty worried about it. Looking at fallingRotten Tomatoesratings and lowIMDBratings, Bob Iger, Disney’s CEO, has advised MCU to focus onquality over quantity.
MCU’sFantastic Fourand DC’sSuperman: Legacyare expected to release very close to each other and it has become a major concern for MCU. Marvel can’t afford a face-to-face battle with DC’sSuperman: Legacyafter such a bad phase. Not to mention that they have recently lost American filmmakerJames Gunnto DC Studios.
