For Marvel Studios, it’s been a challenging few years with triumphs like Deadpool, Wolverine, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 being overshadowed by disappointments such as Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and The Marvels. Yet, they seem to stumble even when things are going well. However, 2025 has been a more positive trend, despite Captain America: Brave New World’s underperformance. Spider-Man, Daredevil, Thunderbolts, and First Steps have been Marvel’s successes. As we anticipate the releases of Ironheart, Eyes of Wakanda, Marvel Zombies, and Wonder Man later this year, there’s a sense of optimism. But that optimism has waned following recent announcements about Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Doomsday scheduled for next summer.
