I don't see how adding Strange or the guardians is more of a hook than literally the two most popular avengers "fighting" each other

The two most popular Avengers fought already like twice I think and this time all of the Avengers are there. A darker scope, the final chapter angle, and more oddball characters might help it. But I think we can all agree Ultron > IW.

Civil War was Avengers 3 in all honesty. And the GA saw it as that.

I agree.

My spouse was the grad student (so he has me by 3 years:), so he had sewn some wild oats...funny enough, if you ask him his one regret in life, it would be that he did sew those oats - I tell him, why regret it?  It made you who you are.  And who you are was perfect for me:)...

 

When I met him in college at a Halloween costume party (with some drinking of some hard stuff that won't be mentioned b/c not all may have been of age), my friends (both male and female) warned me away from him b/c he was a "player."  He managed to get that rep in just 2 months of dating and discarding undergrads:).  But I knew me, and knowing yourself and being confident in yourself and your choices is important.  I wasn't one to fall for guys "plays"...I fell for the guy himself once he was the right one:)...made a few guys sad over the years, but made myself (and my current spouse) the happiest in the end:)... 

 

From my stand point, one of the reasons I'll never view my family as a burden is because I remember the hedonsim and insanity before them and realize they saved me from myself. 

 

But if someone can realize that without drugs/women/travel, then more power to them but I'd argue it's a far less fun and adventruous way to make that realization.

Infinity War will surpass Ultron

 

Deadpool 2 will increase over the original. 

[Ethan Hunt]

Honestly I legit feel robbed of a proper sequel to The Winter Soldier

I'd argue that if it were officially Avengers 3 the awareness would've been greater.

An SM2 from SM1 like decrease will give it 335. I don't think DP2 can do much better than that.

 

I wasn't talking about DP2.

Why all this talk about double penetration?

Tbh the Guardians literally just came off a 380M making sequel which increased over a 330M original. They've got popularity that's close to, if not on par w/Iron Man and Cap, and their presence alone gives the whole Avengers thing some of the freshness it needs.

 

Well, if the Russos pit the Avengers in a fight scene w/the Guardians, that will probably sell tons of tickets more. And if they don't... that's just a missed opportunity.

It's hard for movies that make Deadpool money to increase but it's not like it's impossible. Do I think an increase is unlikely? Sure I do. I wouldn't rule out it just being below the the first one though. Like, I could see it doing 350mil.
