Part 4/9:
"Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" also faced doubts about its sustainability amid the ongoing challenges.
Other anticipated entries, including Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and The Marvels, were repositioned from Phase Four to Phase Five, indicating a devaluation of their initial status.
In addition, many films like Black Widow, Shang-Chi, and Eternals either lost money or barely broke even. For example:
Black Widow was released simultaneously on Disney+, which significantly impacted ticket sales and revenue, compounded by legal issues with Scarlett Johansson.
Shang-Chi and Eternals failed to generate sustained box office momentum, earning just enough to cover their costs or falling short.
