The year 2025 is the first time in 14 years i.e. since 2011 when not a single one of Marvel Studios’ films has hit over $600 million at the worldwide box office.
This year, three MCU films released — Captain America: Brave New World ($415.10 million), Thunderbolts* ($382.40 million) and The Fantastic Four: First Steps ($530 million expected) but none could breach the $600 million mark.
However, that changes next year when MCU will be back with a bang at the box office with Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Doomsday.
