One top agent explained, \u201cJoining the MCU is still a crazy, life-changing opportunity, but I don\u2019t have as many clients asking to do one as they were five years ago.\u201d That time frame coincided with Avengers: Endgame, which remains the franchise\u2019s most profitable release and the second-highest-grossing movie of all time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Variety reported that Marvel\u2019s 2025 releases Thunderbolts*, Captain America: Brave New World, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps \u201call dramatically underperformed compared with their predecessors and barely eked out a profit.\u201d An executive noted that \u201cthe standalone movies are in trouble, because you feel like you can miss it now.\u201d Another director added, \u201cAny movie could be huge, but nothing is close to a guarantee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The downturn comes after Marvel expanded its output in the early 2020s. The studio produced both theatrical films and streaming series. Variety\u2019s franchise scorecard found the MCU had the highest market saturation across films, Disney+ shows, and related projects. Marvel\u2019s breakout hits, such as Deadpool &amp; Wolverine and Spider-Man: No Way Home, remain exceptions. These successes were largely tied to major crossovers or character returns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, and Chris Evans led the Infinity Saga. The current Multiverse Saga has relied on lesser-known characters. Films like Eternals and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings have been less profitable in this saga.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Marvel Studios executives see the two upcoming Avengers films as stabilizing forces. One executive told Variety they view Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars as \u201cbulletproof.\u201d They expect that crossover events will continue to anchor the franchise\u2019s commercial appeal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new report has revealed that Marvel roles are no longer as appealing to actors as they once were.
