Disney is pulling back from Marvel slightly (It now has "franchise fatigue". The MCU feature films have been underperforming as of late.)

Captain America 4 and Thunderbolts underperformed, but Deadpool and Wolverine made over a billion dollars and Fantastic Four made over half a billion dollars. I know there are some internet wags out there that would like to say half a billion dollars is underperforming, but that's nonsense.

Captain America 4 and Thunderbolts underperformed, but Deadpool and Wolverine made over a billion dollars and Fantastic Four made over half a billion dollars. I know there are some internet wags out there that would like to say half a billion dollars is underperforming, but that's nonsense.

FF's budget was $200 million. It did $521 million at the box office.

It barely broke even. It underperformed.

They cancelled three MCU films that were due to be released in 2026-2027 earlier this year.

Deadpool and Wolverine (2024) was the last MCU film to gross over $1 billion.

I think the most likely scenario is Academy is cancelled after season 2 and then they do that Federation President Archer series. Then we will get one more final Kelvinverse movie. By then Matalas will be all the rage over his super successful Vision series and they will beg him to come back and do the Legacy series he wanted to do.

Legacy will never be made.

Kirk Year One will never be made.

President Archer will never be made.

A Kelvin ST4 film has an outside chance of getting made.

But any 'new' Trek announced by Skydance will not be any of the previously pitched stuff above.

(And if I'm wrong, oh well )
