Captain Marvel 2 (2022)

[built2shred]

Captain Marvel was helped by clever marketing by Disney, they placed the movie between Infinity War and Endgame and had a scene at the end of Infinity War with her symbol in the pager, I think most people thought they needed to see it in order to continue the story arch of Infinity War when in actuality it was a standalone movie... Plus people were all hyped after Infinity War so you could have put the Hulk movie next and it would have done great money wise...

That is really tough to say given, well, everything right now.

I expect it not to do as well, as I figure every movie will struggle for a while.

I think they both look good, but I'm bias and super excited to see Diana back as loved the original.

We have no idea about hypothetical.

I think Marvel has built an absolute juggernaut of a brand that the general audience have come to trust. Fifteen years ago Iron Man was no where near an A list hero to mainstream. They managed to build up those core Avengers characters and now it feels like they could pick anyone and bound to do at least well.

Of course, who knows what movies will be like in 2020 and 2021. Unfair to compare upcoming releases of anything with the drastically different scenario we see at box office and video on demand markets.

Disney is releasing Mulan to their streaming service, but it will have a price tag of $30 to watch it... Which is roughly what it costs take a family of 4 to the movies (sans popcorn and drinks)... It will be interesting to see how it does financially...

Movies in my area are $12 per ticket for new films. So for me $30 is less than 3 people minus drinks and such.

I think if they did these for just a tad less, say $25, it would do very well across the country.

For that price, I’ll wait till it comes in Blu Ray. I just need them to release the WW84 movie right now.

Disney have paid Larson for 5 movies (she has done 2 thus far) and despite mixed reception the original Captain Marvel did gangbusters at the box office (far more than any Thor movie for example).
I'm not sure why they would switch to a far more expensive lead actress and create confusion for general audiences.

I just thought, Chris Evans played two different Marvel characters.
Chris Evans played Johnny Storm in Fantastic 4 (2005)
Chris Evans played Captain America in Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)

Yes, but FF movie was before the Iron Man MCU. So not really the same universe or setting.

I see your point but having the actor who played Black Widow also play Captain Marvel would be really weird and confusing to most people.
