The setback of Marvel post Avengers: Endgame
The recent Marvel movies have set a low record at the box office and made the future of the franchise uncertain. The common complaint about the post-Endgame Saga is that it lacks direction. The recent series Secret Invasion flawed the system. The most anticipated program ultimately failed and received the lowest Rotten Tomatoes rating.
Doctor Strange in Multiverse of Madness had mind-blowing visuals and massive action scenes, yet it fell short of the expectations it set. Phase 5 of MCU kickstarted with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania which ended its theatrical run with a box office haul of around $473 million worldwide. Thor: Love and Thunder came out as the worst depiction of the thunder god. The Eternals is certified as the MCU’s first film to be “rotten” on Rotten Tomatoes.
The franchise is hoping to rise with the debut of Loki season two next month. Also, upcoming films like Deadpool 3, Captain America: Brave New World, and Avengers: Secret Wars are some hopeful projects for Marvel.
