Super Burnout: With Most Superhero Movies Flopping, Can Marvel and DC’s 2025 Slates Reverse an Unprecedented Box Office Drought?

But to think that these are going to do ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ business — I just don’t see that for any of these films.” A significant factor facing “Captain America 4” and “Thunderbolts*” is how much they rely on characters and plotlines from several earlier MCU titles, including Disney+ shows “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” and “Hawkeye,” and feature films “Black Widow,” “Eternals,” “Ant-Man and the Wasp,” “Captain America: Civil War” and even 2008’s “The Incredible Hulk.” That interconnectivity had been an advantage for Marvel Studios from its inception, but was seen as a hindrance for recent projects like “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” “Secret Invasion” and “The Marvels.” Marvel Studios is also committed to co-producing Sony Pictures’ fourth “Spider-Man” movie with Tom Holland, which Destin Daniel Cretton (“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”) will direct. In January 2023, newly installed co-chiefs James Gunn and Peter Safran announced a brand-new slate of 10 movies and TV shows that would relaunch the universe as a fully integrated creative endeavor.
