We’re deep into 2024 territory as of the time of writing, but our good friends and Deadline have decided to go back to last year and reveal the biggest box office bombs of 2023. It was a short trip down memory lane, but it was done properly because all the numbers were finally in, and there was enough time to objectively interpret the facts and numbers before us. This is why we decided to report on this list.
The list contains five titles and we are going to reveal them to you, as well as all the relevant numbers. Long story short, out of the five titles on this list, four belong to Disney/MCU and one to Warner, so it seems that Disney is undoubtedly the biggest loser of 2023, especially since some of the titles in question are major ones. Now, let us start!

2023 wasn't a good year for superhero movies, with the vast majority of them drawing negative reviews and poor box office returns. One of the most shocking flops, however, was The Marvels.
Captain Marvel made over $1 billion in 2019 and the follow-up saw Carol Danvers paired up with WandaVision's Monica Rambeau and Ms. Marvel's title character. Now, Deadline has crunched the numbers and revealed that The Marvels' $206.1 million global box office haul was worse than we realised.
According to the trade, when all is said and done, the movie made a net loss of $237 million. It's no wonder then that Disney CEO Bob Iger has said Marvel Studios will begin moving away from developing unnecessary sequels.
As for what the future holds in store for these characters, it's hard to say.
Monica will clearly be part of a future Multiversal story after landing in the same reality as the X-Men,...

Deadline’s Most Valuable Blockbuster tournament is back. While studios during Covid wildly embraced the theatrical day-and-date model when cinemas were closed, they soon realized there’s nothing more profitable than a theatrical release and the downstreams that come with it. If anything, theatrical is the advertisement for a movie’s longevity in subsequent home entertainment windows. Entering the conversation in 2023 were the streamers, such as Apple, who have also realized the necessity of theatrical to eventize their movies. The financial data pulled together here for Deadline’s Most Valuable Blockbuster Tournament is culled by seasoned and trusted sources.
Everyone likes a trend in the movie business, but this one perhaps not so much. Disney for the first time in Deadline’s Most Valuable Blockbuster Tournament history dominates the annual bombs section, claiming four of the five (top? bottom?) spots on our 2023 list.

Why Did DeWanda Wise Leave Captain Marvel? Actress Breaks Silence - Main Image
Marvel found its Maria Rambeau in Lashana Lynch, but before the British actress took the role, DeWanda Wise was supposed to play Carol Denver’s best friend in the 2019 Captain Marvel. However, she left the project before the production began, and Wise has now broken her silence about the real reason behind her exit.
Wise was cast as Maria Rambeau in January 2018 but was forced to part ways with the project in March of the same year before the filming started that Spring.
At the time, it was revealed that her departure was due to scheduling conflicts with the production of She’s Gotta Have It Season 2.
However, some couldn’t help but notice Wise’s words when she said making a Marvel movie was her “own personal nightmare.” So, what’s the truth about her exit?

The upcoming ‘Fantastic Four’ reboot, set to hit screens in 2025, is set to bring Marvel’s iconic first family into the MCU, much to fans’ delight. Pedro Pascal is set to portray Reed Richards, despite many fans campaigning for John Krasinski to land the role. Vanessa Kirby will portray Sue Storm, with Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm.
Julia Garner will step into the role of Shalla-Bal, MCU’s take on Silver Surfer, though there are reports suggesting Norrin Radd may also make an appearance in the film.
Given the immense popularity of the Fantastic Four in Marvel lore, fans naturally anticipated a significant presence for them in the MCU’s future.

Fascinatingly, X-Men ’97 is not the first show with a rumored Spider-Man cameo this year. However, it is much more likely that Marvel’s Web-head would be able to make an appearance in the X-Men successor series given that Marvel might not have to jump hoops to bring him into X-Men ’97.
Marvel famously has to share its rights with Sony when it comes to Spider-Man, splitting his rights to appear in live-action films. There was a lot of anticipation about how the character might appear in Amamzon’s Invincible, but that was quickly sidestepped thanks to the hoops the show might have to go through to make that happen.

Sam Raimi has been one of the biggest fan picks when it comes to helming for the MCU, and the Spider-Man trilogy he helmed for Tobey Maguire’s superhit saga is one of the major reasons why. Not only does the filmmaker have incredible ideas for his projects, but his mere creative way of operating while working is what sets him apart from all the other masterminds in Hollywood.

This stands even stronger after Raimi recently, once again, shared his plans for a fourth film of Maguire’s iconic web-slinger, leaving fans more impressed than ever before. If anything, this latest pitch of his just proves that not only does he deserve to make another Peter Parker film with Maguire, but also that he is quite literally the best man Marvel can hire for the job.

She has had multiple solo comic series, has been the star of her own Disney+ show, was the key character in the 2020 Avengers video game and was one of the main characters in 2023’s The Marvels. However, despite how many times they try the character never seems to stick with audiences.
In May of last year the teenage heroine was “killed off” in an issue of The Amazing Spider-Man.

When the MCU began in 2008 with ‘Iron Man,’ nobody foresaw it becoming the colossal, beloved, and highly lucrative cinematic universe it is today. Traditionally, comic books were the main reference point for anything related to superheroes.
However, as movies and TV shows gained more popularity than the comics themselves, live-action adaptations began to significantly influence comic books. Some stories were even rewritten, drawing criticism from older fans and comic enthusiasts.
One notable example of the MCU’s impact on comics is Kamala Khan, also known as Ms. Marvel. Originally, she gained her powers as an Inhuman after exposure to Terrigen Mist. However, her Disney+ show introduced a new storyline, revealing her powers to be the result of genetic mutation, overshadowing her Inhuman origin.

The world of Marvel comics and the Marvel Cinematic Universe is, in simple terms, a similar world, with the latter being based on the former. Although the majority of the MCU storylines are inspired or directly taken from the world of Marvel comics, Marvel comics are a huge universe with several parallel storylines based on the same character running simultaneously.

And so, fans have mostly come to believe that Marvel Comics is the main influencing factor, a recent surprising revelation revealed that the MCU too is heavily inspiring the events of the comics.

Post Avengers: Endgame, Kevin Feige committed to more projects than he has ever been in the MCU. In addition to developing theatrical films. he also had to develop MCU shows that told their own story but later tied into the overall universe. Among the new heroes that the studio established in Phase 4 was Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan.

Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel is a movie star. "The Marvels" has been cited as another sign of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's fall from dominance, but everyone loves young actor Iman Vellani as this spunky heroine. /Film even named Kamala the best movie hero of 2023 and proclaimed her the future of the MCU.
Of course, Kamala comes from Marvel Comics and was co-created by G. Willow Wilson, Sana Amanat, Stephen Wacker, Adrian Alphona, and Jamie McKelvie. The comics made a bizarre move of synergy in 2023; between Kamala's Disney+ show "Ms. Marvel" and the theatrical run of "The Marvels," she heroically dies in "Amazing Spider-Man" #26 (by Zeb Wells and John Romita Jr.), published in May 2023.
Wells' "Amazing Spider-Man" isn't exactly a fan-favorite (the stink of breaking up Peter and Mj has carried across his run) and this was a low point. It was the cheapest of cheap melodrama and Kamala perished while pulling guest star duty.

Beau DeMayo was unexpectedly let go over a month ago, just days before the premiere of ‘X-Men ’97.’ The exact reason for his dismissal remains unclear. Speculation suggests it may be due to his reputation as a challenging collaborator or possibly linked to his OnlyFans account.
The situation becomes even more surprising considering DeMayo’s significant contribution to the future of the X-Men franchise. Despite his departure, the show was renewed for a second season prior to the premiere of the first, with the third season currently in development.
No one dared to address the controversy surrounding his firing until episode 5 of ‘X-Men ’97’ aired. The episode was a jolting and deeply emotional revelation. Beau explained his intentions behind it, clarifying that the initial episodes were nostalgic nods to the original series, aiming to catch the audience off guard with episode 5 by shifting the tone dramatically.

The biggest similarity would be how Omni-Man resembles Superman in many ways and how the Guardians of the Globe are another version of the Justice League or the Avengers.
The popularity of the comics and animated series has brought it into the cultural spotlight, with Omni-Man even making an appearance on Fortnite as a playable character. Now, we have a mod that brings another character from the series to a game filled with sticky situations.

Marvel’s Avengers can be described as many things, but a successful game is not one of them, and the live service structure that Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics went with is one of the culprits. Failing to achieve the same success as the live-action films from the MCU, the game had the potential to improve where the films lacked, but it turned out to be a major disappointment.
Marvel’s Avengers Could Have Utilized Ultron Better Than the MCU
James Spader made his first and last appearance as Ultron in Avengers: Age of Ultron, and a version of the character was teased in Marvel’s Avengers.
The game was originally conceived with the idea of constant updates and content support from developers and an overarching story meant to span multiple seasons. Ultron was meant to appear as a villain, and actor Jim Meskimen had already recorded dialogue before the untimely cancellation.

The downside to the now-inoperative Marvel Television was that its offerings were exhaustively inconsistent in quality. Would you get a mature, nuanced examination of topics like systemic corruption, religious faith, and personal trauma like in "Daredevil"? Or would you get a clumsy mashup of "Succession"-style dynasty drama and white savior tropes like in "Iron Fist"? One could never be too sure. But while the lows were especially low, the highs also tended to be higher than the Marvel Cinematic Universe's films.
Funnily enough, that trend has only continued since Marvel Television was restructured and folded into Marvel Studios. The McU's Disney+ shows have been all over the board so far, with the added wrinkle that most of them are woven deeper into the tapestry of the franchise's greater mythology and, as such, are harder for the McU's movies to ignore -- as we saw when "The Marvels" had to...

Marvel Studios has already experienced overwhelmingly positive responses for its recent projects featuring X-Men characters. The latest animated project, X-Men ’97, seems to have taken off with the audience, and fans largely look forward to Deadpool & Wolverine releasing in July this year. After the end of the strikes last year, it was reported that Marvel was meeting with writers for pitches on an X-Men live-action movie. An industry insider now has an update regarding the same.
X-Men ’97 is one of the first X-Men projects in the MCU, but it is not canon to Earth-616
According to earlier speculations, the film was supposed to begin production in the latter half of 2025. However, the insider reports that the filming for the Avengers movies in the Multiverse Saga finale will precede any planned X-Men movie project.

The director for X-Men ‘97 teased fans about the possibility of exciting faces showing up at some point in the new season.
The original X-Men: The Animated Series was no stranger to cameos, with a handful of characters showing up for brief stints, including Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Strong Guy, and more.
Those fun appearances weren't limited to the X-Men characters either. Notable heroes such as Captain America, War Machine, Nick Fury, Ms. Marvel, Spider, and more also made fun appearances.

Although the Avengers hold the spotlight as the MCU’s primary superhero team, they’re not alone. Alongside them, we have the Eternals, Guardians of the Galaxy, and upcoming projects are going to introduce teams like Thunderbolts, Young Avengers, and the X-Men. Marvel Comics boasts numerous other superhero teams, sparking curiosity among fans about potential expansions to lesser-known teams, notably Alpha Flight.
However, according to Alex Perez, a trusted source for MCU rumors and leaks, Marvel Studios is considering two different comic book teams for incorporation, with Alpha Flight not among them, unfortunately.
There have been discussions about MI13 being developed, as well as Agents of Atlas.
The Agents of Atlas, a superhero group, first appeared in the comic ‘What If?’ #9 in 1978 before returning in their own series in 2006. This diverse team comprises characters from different backgrounds and regions, including notable members like Jimmy Woo, Namora (cousin of Namor), Gorilla-Man,...

Since the Infinity Stones saga ended, Marvel has tried to expand the stories on the television screen. The MCU has flourished on the small screen, as it allows more room and time for character development.
The studio has found critical success, and the quality of the stories was not affected by the change. However, as several series came under the expanded universe of Marvel, Disney is still far from making one of their most beloved shows part of the current MCU timeline—Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
So far the series is beyond the canon events of the MCU (Source: Agents of the S.H.I.E.L.D.)

Spoilers for "X-Men '97" to follow.
Love is in the air on "X-Men '97" with Rogue and ... Magneto??! Apparently, the two have a history. Now that Magneto has joined the X-Men, old feelings are surfacing.
In episode 2, "Mutant Liberation Begins," the pair share a private chat dancing around their history; Magneto tells Rogue he made a mistake by shutting Charles Xavier out (with a psychic-blocking helmet and all), saying he should've kept people who cared for him close — implicitly including Rogue too. She says she wants to keep their past buried, but at the episode's end, they meet in private again; apparently, Magneto's power can nullify Rogue's deadly touch, so she can experience intimacy with him that she can't with anyone else. A heartbroken Gambit spots Rogue exiting Magneto's office.
The third and most recent episode, "Fire Made Flesh," continued the teasing. Rogue/Magneto apparently haven't admitted the connection to their comrades,...

After spending years as a respected leader of the sovereign mutant nation Krakoa, Cyclops is back on the run. With Krakoa destroyed and humanity ready to oppress mutants again, Cyclops has gone back home to Alaska to refresh and regroup.
And yet, things have never been better for Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops. The upcoming From the Ashes relaunch will force the X-Men back into the world after the end of Krakoa in the Fall of X storyline, with a new X-Men book with Cyclops in the lead.

According to the latest insider report, the film will reportedly introduce the concept of an ‘Anchor’ to the branches of Yggdrasil into the MCU.

‘Daredevil: Born Again’ is the highly anticipated upcoming MCU series. It marks the full integration of Daredevil into the MCU and acts as a soft reboot for the character. Much of the storyline remains under wraps, but we know that Murdock will be establishing a new law firm and will encounter Wilson Fisk, who is campaigning for mayor of New York.
The show has faced its share of challenges during development, including a near-complete overhaul when more than half of the episodes had already been filmed. Fans were disappointed by the initial decision to exclude Foggy and Karen from the series. Originally, both characters were slated to meet their demise between the Netflix ‘Daredevil’ series and ‘Born Again,’ but revisions to the show brought them back into the fold.

Marvel’s dark new vision of the Avengers set in the far-flung future is portrayed in the comic book; Avengers: Twilight by writer Chip Zdarksy and artist Daniel Acuna. The comic book is set in a dystopic future decades after H-Day: Hero Day, which is a national tragedy and a day of reckoning for the superhero community that leveled up and killed hundreds, including Spider-Man and the Hulk.
The comic book introduces the readers to James Stark; son of Tony Stark and Janet van Dye. In the Avengers: Twilight #3, James Stark debuts his own Iron Man armor which reportedly surpasses his father’s original suit. The character goes ahead and sets up a tragic dynamic for the comic book’s final stretch.

Marvel’s Spider-Man was said to be the first part of Marvel’s shared gaming universe, Iron Man jumpstarted the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe back in 2008 and has elevated the genre since; and Insomniac Games aims to replicate the same success through this format. It didn’t take long for other studios to take these iconic characters and give them their own video game.
There was a recent surge of superhero titles in the gaming industry, and while most are decent, there were noticeable disasters like Marvel’s Avengers. This setback may have been a factor in the cancellation of Spider-Man: The Great Web.
In a recent interview, Ms. Marvel herself, Iman Vellani, shared her criticisms about the game, saying it should have been a success if it weren’t repetitive, and some suggest it shouldn’t have taken the live-service route.

Vellani’s Ms. Marvel just joined the MCU not long ago. Now, she’s got her own show and plays a big role in ‘The Marvels.’ Looks like she’s going to be a big deal in the MCU, especially with the Young Avengers project happening. When asked which team she wanted to join in the movies, she had something unexpected to say.
On the big screen? X-Men. I don’t think that’s a bad answer. I think the X-Men is so cool, and it really just marks her as a legitimate mutant and all the naysayers can no longer say nay.
Her comment refers to some upset fans who are unwilling to accept that Ms. Marvel is now considered a mutant. Originally introduced as an Inhuman, her origin story in the MCU revealed her powers come from a genetic mutation, making her the first confirmed mutant in the MCU.

Ms. Marvel will obviously be a part of the team down the road, but speaking to ComicBook.com she expressed something altogether different when asked which team she would like to join within the cinematic universe:

The Marvels was the latest entry of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and it gave the spotlight to three powerful heroines: Captain Marvel, Monica Rambeau, and the young up-and-coming hero of New Jersey, Kamala Khan also known as Ms Marvel. The film had a mixed reception, but it served its purpose to show what this trio can bring to the table, and after her solo series on Disney+, Iman Vellani has been a fan favorite.
The character is fairly new, only a decade old but has caught the attention of comic book readers because of her religion, unique power set, and origins. There was a window of opportunity to establish the character in other formats like gaming, and Square Enix with Crystal Dynamics gave the world Marvel’s Avengers.
It was a short-lived and embarrassing adaptation of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes but they managed to pivot the focus on the young heroine.

In 2023, three MCU movies hit theaters: ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,’ ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,’ and ‘The Marvels.’ Unfortunately, only one of them found success, with ‘Ant-Man 3’ and ‘The Marvels’ both flopping. It’s especially disappointing because ‘Ant-Man 3’ was supposed to kick off Phase 5 and introduce a major villain, Kang the Conqueror.
While the characters themselves aren’t to blame—both ‘Ant-Man’ films were hits—’The Marvels’ didn’t fare as well as its predecessor, ‘Captain Marvel,’ which grossed over $1.131 billion globally. Now, according to insider Daniel Richtman, sequels to ‘Quantumania’ and ‘The Marvels’ might not happen, as the studio aims to focus on safer bets and avoid risky projects like these.
Marvel Studios is reportedly trying to take less risks and focusing on more guaranteed hits.

2023 saw three MCU movies being released. The year has kicked off with ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,’ ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ and concluded with ‘The Marvels.’ Out of those 3 movies, only one has been a critical and commercial success with ‘Ant-Man 3’ and ‘The Marvels’ being flops. The worst thing is ‘Ant-Man 3’ was the first movie of the MCU’s phase 5 and was supposed to introduce the next major villain in the MCU, Kang the Conqueror but the failure of the movie almost made Marvel Studios rethink that direction.
It’s not that the characters were uninteresting, the first two ‘Ant-Man’ installments were both critical and commercial success, especially when you take into account that Ant-Man is a relatively unknown character when it comes to your typical moviegoer. We don’t even have to mention ‘Captain Marvel’ movie, which was a massive success. The first ‘Captain Marvel’ made a whopping $1.131 billion globally,...

For many older viewers, Jennifer Garner’s portrayal of Elektra holds a special place in their hearts, despite the flaws of her standalone movie. However, when Netflix produced Marvel shows, Elodie Yung won fans over with her portrayal of the youthful assassin and Daredevil’s love interest.
Now it’s confirmed that Garner will return as Elektra in the upcoming ‘Daredevil & Wolverine.’ With ‘Echo’ incorporating elements from the ‘Defenders’ storyline, fans are hopeful for Yung’s return as Elektra in the MCU. Yung herself acknowledged the constant inquiries about the role in an interview with toofab.

For most of the older audiences, Jennifer Garner is the only live-action Elektra that they are emotionally tied to, no matter how bad her standalone movie was. But back when Netflix was making shows based on Marvel characters, Elodie Yung embodied the young assassin and Daredevil’s love interest and fans took quite a liking to her.
Now it’s been confirmed that Garner will reprise her role as Elektra in the upcoming ‘Daredevil & Wolverine,’ and since ‘Echo’ has canonized a good portion of the ‘Defenders’ saga plenty of fans have been hoping that Elodie Yung will make a return as Elektra in the MCU.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is the most talked-about upcoming movie. This is because it’s Deadpool’s first appearance in the MCU and because there’s a lot of excitement about possibly seeing mutants from Fox’s X-Men series and other overlooked characters. Fans are now eager for any project that might include X-Men, as these characters are some of the most loved in comic book history. With the movie set to bring in the most mutants the MCU has seen yet, we thought we’d check out the mutants that have already been confirmed.
