Part 2/13:
Marvel Studios, once the king of blockbuster filmmaking, has seen its golden touch diminish. Recent releases such as Thunderbolts and Captain America: Brave New World have not lived up to expectations. Despite claims of smaller budgets, reports indicate these projects had substantial financial backing, leading to unprofitable outcomes. The movies’ underperformance has caused Marvel to reevaluate its strategies, even renaming Thunderbolts to The New Avengers just a week after release in an attempt to salvage interest—but to little avail.
