I’m genuinely excited about everything Marvel has coming up.
I’m also annoyed that all the Basement Babies are perched and poised to give their hot takes about the lower box office returns being a product of Social Justice Movies since the next slate is so women & POC centered.
I’m sure Marvel knows this, but it is impossible to recreate the BILLION DOLLAR openings they had the past few years because:
1) We’re coming out of a pandemic.
2) We’ve reached FULL Marvel saturation.
Nobody is going to have box office returns like we saw just before COVID for a very very long time.
But more important probably, there’s just way too much MCU. The movies are coming fast and more people will skip more of them and just catch a synopsis before a big Event Movie.
If I was Marvel, I would just lean full force into women, POC, and queer stories because the Cavemen are already upset….so just let them be mad, and draw in more of the people who don’t typically go see Marvel movies. The returns will be lower anyway, so make it count.
