Shang-Chi, Loki, Thunderbolts) and some outright disappointments or duds amid a glut of too much product and a dip in quality.<\/p>\n<p>The real test will come this year as two movies \u2013 \u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day\u201d and \u201cAvengers: Doomsday\u201d \u2013 hope to reach for the MCU\u2019s greatest heights again.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking with industry experts, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/creative-content\/movies\/marvel-mcu-stakes-2026-avengers-doomsday-spider-man-brand-new-day\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Wrap<\/a> has asked them to share their take of where things currently stand with the franchise.  Comscore senior media analyst Paul Degarabedian has the biggest claims, saying:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c2026 may be the most important year for the MCU other than its inception. Phase 6 is vitally important if there\u2019s gonna be a Phase 7. Response by the fans and the box office dipped with \u2018Captain America: Brave New World\u2019 back in February this year.<\/p>\n<p>I think \u2018Thunderbolts\u2019 and \u2018Fantastic Four\u2019 both did great, but again, we have to reset our expectations on what the MCU will deliver in today\u2019s movie marketplace. The bread-and-butter Marvel films are hopefully making a big comeback because the titles that are on the calendar for the future look, at least on paper, incredibly strong and could once again mark a return to the glory days of the $1 billion global box office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fellow exhibitor relations analyst Jeff Bock believes $1.5 billion for the next Avengers and Spider-Man movies is highly likely, but adds that these \u2018bulletproof\u2019 brands need to perform to ensure the MCU\u2019s future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Marvel, Sony Pictures It is little secret that since the pandemic and the end of the Infinity Saga,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":349184,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[94966,96,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-349183","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-bigslider","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-movies","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom","13":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349183","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=349183"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349183\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/349184"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=349183"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=349183"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=349183"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
