Part 7/9:
Thor: Love and Thunder and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 are also estimated to have had budgets close to $250 million—a testament to how expensive modern MCU films have become. Yet, the divergent box office performances mean that The Marvels’ high costs could spell trouble unless it achieves substantial commercial success.

In reality, the film's true budget appears to be among the most expensive in MCU history, fueled by extensive VFX, reshoots, and the costs associated with filming in the UK with government subsidies.
