Part 7/9:
The failures of The Marvels are widely viewed as a symptom of broader issues within Disney and Marvel Studios—namely overexpansion, poor creative direction, and a loss of the franchise's former appeal. Disney’s decision to stop reporting box office figures for the film is indicative of their attempt to close the chapter quietly and avoid further negative publicity.
This film’s downfall has cast a shadow over Disney’s future Marvel projects. With a budget of over $300 million, The Marvels is set to be one of the most expensive MCU films ever produced, and its financial failure is a costly blow. It is now officially the lowest-grossing MCU release, surpassing even the 2008 Incredible Hulk in terms of the overall box office disappointment.
