box office

Marvel will see a big 2026 with Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Doomsday and both will likely be billion dollar films. This might convince Disney that the MCU is safe but lets face the elephant in the room - it's really not. Fatigue, saturation and inconsistent quality has damaged the brand.

Maybe, but I'm not sure if it's as much of a guarantee now as it was pre-2020.

Spider-Man 2nd trilogy will be big business and likely remain the cash cow of Marvel.
Avengers 4/5 while very profitable will make a lot less than 3/4.

Yeah, you're probably right here, but I'm not sure if they'll do the massive business they did before.

I could see a new X-Men film being a big hit as any Deadpool 4 but so much of the rest of the franchise is on life support now. They could do with focusing on the core big hitters after Avengers 5 and then just have a god dam rest before a big reboot years down the line.

I really don't know about that with the X-Men, the big draw for Wolverine & Deadpool was seeing Hugh Jackman & Ryan Reynolds finally together after all the teasing, and the other returning actors. But I'm not sure if a reboot with a whole new cast is the going to have the same appeal to people without the nostalgia of seeing the return of old favorites.

When I look at Sue Storm all I see is White Widow!

We've been here before with this franchise. Xmen- First Class did well and didn't have a single member from that original cast. No Patrick Stewart, No Hugh Jackman etc. If they do it right they will be fine.

Yeah, that's a good point.

Well, Superman's 2nd week Friday take was down 70% from its 1st week Friday take. Yeah FFs take is 80% which isn't great, but it's not neccisarily the end of the world for it.

Hugh Jackman and Rebecca Romijn did show up for cameos though.

It's catastrophic no matter how anyone spins it.

What should it be doing so it is not a catastrophe?

We have reports of dumpster trucks of money approaching Chris Evans house.
