Marvel shouldn't shy away from risky MCU projects.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT One previous project in the Marvel Cinematic Universe proves why Marvel Studios needs to continue developing high-risk projects, rather than scaling these down. Over the last 16 years, Marvel Studios' MCU has grown exponentially, adapting dozens of complex characters from Marvel Comics into live-action, and bringing some fantastic adventures to both the big and small screen.
Marvel is starting to focus on some of its stronger franchises going forward, but I'll leave it at that. And I think given the environment and given what it takes to get people out of their homes to see a film, doing that, leaning on franchises that are familiar is actually a smart thing. So, we've got work to do still. In our zeal to greatly increase volume partially tied to this wanting to chase more global subs for our streaming platform, some of our studios lost a little focus.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania grossed just over $470 million at the box office, and received mixed reviews, with many criticizing the lack of fun compared to Ant-Man's previous MCU projects. While The Marvels fared better among audiences, the movie only racked up $206.1 million on a budget of $274.8 million gross, making it a box office bomb, and the lowest-grossing MCU movie ever.
Had the Thor franchise been abandoned after Thor: The Dark World, which is widely regarded as one of the MCU's weakest projects, Thor: Ragnarok never would have been developed. Ragnarok became the highest-grossing installment in the Thor franchise, clocking in at $865 million globally, but this wouldn't have come to fruition had The Dark World convinced Disney to call it a day with Thor.
