Part 3/9:
Production Cost: The film's expenditure reached approximately $415 million, making it one of the most expensive entries in the MCU's history. Disney's filings confirmed this high figure, which surpassed Age of Ultron’s production budget by about 6.4%. Age of Ultron's production cost was roughly $388 million, yet it generated three times the profit at the box office.
Historical Context: Released in 2015, Age of Ultron featured a star-studded cast including Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Chris Hemsworth. The immense star power, combined with extensive marketing and high production costs, contributed to its higher gross revenue, which outweighed its expenses significantly.
