Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige has commented on why movies like The Marvels, Captain America 4, and Thunderbolts* didn’t make a big splash at the box office. The Marvels was released in November 2023 and only made around $206.

Thunderbolts* performed well at the box office, and the team is already set to return as part of the Avengers: Doomsday cast list. Director Jake Schreier recently spoke to CBM about his Marvel movie, and addressed fans like mylsef who wanted to see it connect with Daredevil: Born Again. In his words:

It's exactly why we should be welcoming the fact that The Fantastic Four: First Steps is the last MCU movie for an entire year.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe entered a bold new phase with its release "Thunderbolts" — now rebranded as "The New Avengers."

Thunderbolts* was a return to form for the MCU, yet unlike anything that came before it in the franchise. It delivered another Marvel team, only this one mostly featured secondary characters who saved the day with empathy and hugs.

Marvel's Fantastic Four is heading for a box office opening north of $100 million as the MCU provides an antidote to universe fatigue.

This iteration of the Fantastic Four has a standalone adventure without all the burden of the MCU's history and cast of characters.

First Steps will feature two credits scenes, and one has major implications on the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The movie is available to stream from on-demand retailers like Prime Video. Marvel antiheroes and sidekicks face their toughest challenge yet, their pasts, in the latest MCU installment.

Thunderbolts*' director, Jake Schreier, will direct the MCU's 'X-Men' reboot, after 'Avengers: Doomsday' and 'Secret Wars.'

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has had its many heads swirling in the mass confusion of a multiverse for the last few years. This, thank god, is soon coming to an end. MCU boss Kevin Feige has described the forthcoming abandoning of interweaving timelines as a “reset.” But definitely not a “reboot.”
