Part 8/12:
Given the current figures, Thunderbolts is projected to be another failing Marvel project financially. The film’s modest earnings suggest that the studio may be approaching an inflection point: either a recalibration of their strategy or significant adjustments to the franchise’s direction.
The lower-than-expected box office results also cast doubt on upcoming projects like Fantastic Four. Expectations for Fantastic Four are already subdued, with some predicting it might garner less than Ant-Man and the Wasp or Black Widow, reflecting skepticism about Marvel's ability to recapture previous glory.
