Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 1 hour ago, Torontofan said: is it true Fiege cleaned house and moving with a different direction which is a focus on main core characters, simple straightforward story telling, pleasing fans and less politics? Apart from Black Panther series and even then its still very centrist, when has anything MCU ever been political or meaningfully acknowledge political themes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think "Winter SOldier" and the Falcon/Winter Soldier DInney Plus series were pretty political. But I can;t help but think Cap 4 is going to be political since it;s pretty clearhow people reacto a Black Captain America will be a major plotline. But as for the comment made here, I smell thinly disguised Go Woke Go Broke . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXRDJisDoctorDoom Posted August 7 Author Share Posted August 7 MCU Predictions - Officially Announced Films Captain America: Brave New World $260M DOM -- $220M OS Thunderbolts* $210M DOM -- $230M OS The Fantastic Four: First Steps $330M DOM -- $370M OS Blade $180M DOM -- $180M OS Avengers: Doomsday $800M DOM -- $1.3B OS Avengers: Secret Wars $900M DOM -- $1.6B OS These will adjust if any worthwhile news breaks about these films, similar to how my Spider-Man 3 predictions changed when we realized it was be a nostalgia-fest. Also not going to speculate about the other announced dates on the release calendar until we get an official announcement. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, and I imagine these 4 films will naturally have a higher domestic skew, although FF might end up being a bit stronger OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Doomsday does $800M DOM, I don’t see secret Wars missing $1B DOM based on the sheer scale of that project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reasons : ( all those that have been confirmed) RDJ doom will definitely show up in some capacity Galactus done right it seems Recent use of F4 characters in media have made people more aware of them and it will definitely be positive unless movie is very bad Seems like a standalone MCU project away from anything in MCU as confirmed by Kevin himself. So that's a big plus. I would say 350m+ 450m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toutvabien Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I do think Thunderbolts* is gonna be a surprise breakout hit. Maybe near GOTG levels. But I still think Fantastic Four will be bigger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issue is a lot of films had messaging but they failed at step 1, make an entertaining movie. Looking at 2024, seems a lot of films have stayed clear of such things and more focused on entertaining the masses.

Neither did Love and Thunder, MoM, Ant-Man 3 or Eternals. Unless y’all think female characters existing in prominent roles other than being sex symbols is “messaging”.
