Marvel Will Not Be Associated With Future Spiderman Films

That's exactly what a bot would say.

Cuz dey be woke.

It is certainly true that Disney and Sony have more to gain by working together on Spider-Man.  That said however, Marvel Studios has already clearly established that even the most obscure of characters can be turned into box office gold in the hands of the right creative team.  Before Marvel Studios began making movies, Iron Man, Captain America and Thor were all B-List characters.  Calling The Guardians of the Galaxy C-List was being generous.  

As for keeping The Avengers alive and going, that isn't really necessary.  Team-ups are fun, and I'm sure they will continue to happen.  I suspect those team-ups are going to be more along the lines of Thor & Hulk in Thor: Ragnarok than an Avengers scale team for the immediate future.  

There won't be an Avengers movie because they are setting up the West Coast Avengers movie. Totally different franchise.

Even if they setup a new Avengers movie do you think it will be as good as the original Avengers movies? Or as popular?

I highly doubt these new future Avengers movies will ever be as good or box office juggernauts that the previous has been.

Hell I think Infinity War making pass 2 billion will ever be touched for a while by any superhero movie. 

Endgame box office profit??? Absolutely not, that record is going to stay put with, no other MCU movie ever touching it or surpassing it.

Yeah thats true. I think the MCU is pointless now. I don't feel any kind of excitment for future movies. 

Sounds like a lot of people feel this way after the Infinity Saga completed.

Solo made $392 million worldwide on a budget of $275 million. It was a flop.

There’s an alternate reality in which we got Tom Cruise as Iron Man.

Like Neverending said, you need to check your math on Solo.  That movie cost an absurd amount of money to produce, and then even more money was flushed down the toilet trying to market it.  To make matters worse, the merchandise collected dust on store shelves.  Disney lost money on that one.

You are on the right track when it comes to profitability, but not when it comes to the box office.  It's the merch that's the key.  There are currently no plans for a third Ant-Man/Wasp movie, despite them both being profitable.  The problem with the Ant-Man/Wasp movies is that kids aren't interested in toys based on them.  All their stuff collected dust and wound up in the discount section.  If a movie is only a moderate success, but kids buy the toys and Halloween costumes, then Disney is going to make more of them.  Disney doesn't make very many movies per year.  They can't afford for many of them (especially the Marvel ones) not to be making a profit across multiple revenue streams.

I could see them making a third Ant-Man, but they might get rid of Peyton Reed and try to go a different direction with the third like Ragnarok. Not exactly sure how they'd do that given that the first two were already comedic.

In a perfect world, Edgar Wright would be given free reign.  Even though Peyton Reed's version has been comedic, it's been a generic sort of comedy.  Edgar Wright steps everything up two or three notches.



Ant-Man was indeed a key figure in Endgame, and well received as a character.  On the toy isles however, he is conspicuously absent.  Even if kids want an action figure of him, he's not there to be had.  The only figure of him I've seen recently is the tiny one that comes with the Wasp action figure from Disney's Toybox line, which was on discount for $7, from the usual $13.
