Before 2023, it would have been unthinkable for a Marvel Studios film to flop at the box office. Regardless, The Marvels failed to, well, marvel audiences, earning a bleak $206.1 million worldwide, while Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania disappointed the studio with only $476.

Brave New World is actually the lowest scoring MCU movie of all on Metacritic, which is a very bad sign for the film and its lead character.

As global cinemas brace for the arrival of Captain America: Brave New World and the movie’s promotional touring well underway, there’s some good news for Kevin Feige, Bob Iger, and anyone interested in the movie’s commercial performance: it’s tracking to open better than previous projections.
