Part 2/11:
At the forefront of Marvel's recent struggles is the disappointing performance of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. The film, which starred Jonathan Majors—who was also poised to become a central figure in upcoming Marvel projects—failed to reach the $500 million mark at the global box office. Not only did it underperform critically and commercially, but it also resulted in significant financial losses for Disney, casting a shadow over Marvel's future prospects.
