I would point out that all franchises go through this period of downturn. It happened to Star Trek, it happened to Batman and it happened to Doctor Who so Marvel Studios' downturn isn't unusual. The dumbest thing to do would be to fire everyone, cancel everything or close down Marvel Studios, the correct thing to do which is likely happening now is reevaluate and make changes.

I don't think anyone doesn't think Marvel can have an up curve out of a trough.

 

The issue is how they do that whilst continuing with the MCU in its current form. Doctor Who just regenerates, Star Trek did this too as did Batman.

 

How do you reboot a universe whilst maintaining the universe?

Well the idea is introducing new characters and giving them a shot. Shang-Chi, etc.

I mean they should have been doing this. My question is not that they can't but that they should probably start looking at that question. Their behind.

Avatar 3 will be delayed, Spider-Man 4 takes December spot, Thunderbolts gets canned.

 

Them's the rules.

Spider-Man 4 is not getting the December 2025 slot. But it'll still go to a Spider-Man movie though

 

Or maybe, they can put a certain other legacy sequel on that date so TFA's domestic crown can be topped exactly 10 years later

Try to set up a Ultimate Marvel Cinematic Universe

I'm sorry, have you read some of the hyperbolic posts made this weekend? Seems to me there are quite a few people that think Marvel is DOOMED FOREVER!!!!

I've seen a few "Time for Disney to end the MCU franchise" on reddit lmao

Unless like Deadpool and F4 are gigabombs and the Avengers movies underperform, they’ll soft reboot the MCU after SW (prolly a new Iron Man and T’Challa, and SteveCap back) which I’m pretty sure was always the plan. 
 

Do think the next whatever the results are, they’ll hard pivot to X-Men and F4 as the faces with Avengers stuff being a backseat player. I also think they’ll likely just have maybe 1-2 MCU shows in general and if they continue to pump out more they’ll be disconnected and one or two movies a year after SW.

Eternals 2, Young Avengers? If this kind of project indeed get greenlighted I'm afraid Marvel Studios will need to pay for the viewers to watch them in the theaters.

I forget, is DanielRPK a reliable source? I forget who he is.

 

Also, is The Hollywood Handle a reliable source?

RPK yes, Handle no but this isn't original reporting from them so it isn't a factor

Eternals 2 is such a terrible idea lol. It will somehow gross less than Eternals which came out during a pandemic🤣

 

Time for Disney to reassess the leadership at Marvel

[YM!]

Yeah not expecting Eternals 2 to get out of early development but can see threads being folded into a Thor sequel.

 

Think Young Avengers will get a part in Kang Dynasty and that’s about it.

[SpiderByte]

I doubt Young Avengers is a movie. My guess it's part of Jac Schaeffers growing corner on Disney+

[Sckathian]

I wouldn’t take too much of existing rumours to heart. That slate is getting scrutinised. 

[Zakiyyah6]

Eternals is never getting a sequel. Count on it.

[excel1]

They diluted this into oblivion. Epic fail

[John Marston]

delaying movies can't be the only solution. They have to get better writers and dump the characters no one cares about
