Is Captain America: Brave New World that important to the future of the MCU?
With the future of Marvel being in doubt by the general audience and Critics, how important is the success of Captain America: Brave New World and what are the ramifications if it flops.
Well first of , we have to clarify what it must achieve to be classified as an success or as a flop. Well with an estimated $180 million production budget and a $100 million spent on promotion of the film, the movie having a worldwide box office of $400 million would ensure it being profitable , however, although this establishes this as Financial Success this movies success is not dependent on its financial performance, but if the fans are receptive to this movie.
This Movie being released on February 14th 2025 aka Valentines day ensure this movies gets as many eyeballs on it’s opening days possible. With this movie being the way many ordinary people are reintroduced back into the MCU will it be something that is enjoyable for the average fan and super complicated to get back into whilst also entertaining fans who have kept up with recent Marvel projects. We can see in the trailers that they do address stuff like the giant hand of a Celestial sticking out of the ocean so it does seem like a movie that will entertain the major fans, but one major reason that has created some concern with the movie is that Sam Wilson has never had his own movie and now that he has taken up the mantle of Captain America people are questioning if its to early to have a new Captain America ( its not!! ) . With the introduction of Harrison Ford into this universe as Red Hulk it has created so many unknown elements that have fans left questioning how will Captain America be able to fight Red Hulk when he has no Super Serum and what his new suit is made from.
Now the most important thing is how the general audience receives this movies as Captain America is focal point of the Avengers and so if a major part of this franchise is not received well it will possibly create major distrust in the future of the MCU. BUT this is clearly not the movie that Kevin Feige is banking on when looking at the future of the MCU that is the new Fantastic Four movie. This creates a ton of breathing space when it comes the pressure that this movie has, as it is no longer the only marvel movie that is responsible for establishing strong foundations for the future and in fact it is not as important when looking at the rollout for this years list of marvel projects being released.
So in conclusion, if Captain America: Brave New World is a financial Success and is viewed as just a enjoyable movie that brought back Marvel back into the conversation it is success but if this movie is not a financial success and creates further distrust into the future of the MCU this may be one of marvel biggest Flops EVER.
