Part 2/8:
Over the past several months, fans and critics alike have been disheartened by a series of setbacks. The critically panned Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was a commercial disappointment, which, combined with multiple project delays and the abrupt firing of Disney executive Victoria Alonso, suggests a turbulent period for Marvel Studios. One of the earliest signs of trouble was the delayed release of The Marvels, initially scheduled for a different date but pushed back multiple times. Currently set for release in November, the film's production issues have become a hot topic of speculation.
