Which Marvel movie crushed the box office after Avengers: Endgame? Here’s all 14 ranked

Post-Endgame powerhouses

After Avengers: Endgame, the MCU dominated the world box office with fourteen more films. One in particular stood out.

Spider-Man: No Way Home became the highest-grossing post-Endgame movie and the third-highest-grossing film in the franchise’s history with a whopping 1.92 billion dollars worldwide. Marvel’s narrative still has significant film office power.

The Marvels

The Marvels became the MCU’s biggest box office bomb, a surprising drop after Captain Marvel’s $1.13 billion success. Despite featuring an exciting trio of heroes, Nick Fury, and teasing about the MCU’s future, it fell short.

The film’s post-credits scene hints at the X-Men’s return in Avengers: Doomsday. Still, creative choices like the singing planet, a weak villain, and heavy ties to MCU shows may have contributed to its disappointing performance.

Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings

With some of Marvel’s greatest battle scenes, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings was a thrilling addition to the MCU. Notwithstanding its merits, the pandemic affected the movie’s release, which resulted in a more subdued premiere.

There is a sequel in the works that might do better. The film presented the Ten Rings, potent relics that could be crucial to Avengers: Doomsday and aid Marvel’s heroes in their conflict with Doctor Doom.

Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness

One of the most popular movies in the Multiverse Saga, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness broadens the MCU’s horizons with an exciting voyage through other universes.

After WandaVision’s breakthrough, the Scarlet Witch’s transformation into a villain brought a great deal of drama and attraction.

Doctor Strange was introduced in the movie as being crucial to the resolution of the multiverse arc. The Illuminati’s unexpected presence stoked fan excitement, leading to months of conjecture about which heroes might make an appearance.

Black Widow

Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow was not given a solo movie by the MCU until after Natasha Romanoff had passed away, which was too long. A simultaneous release on Disney+ Premiere Access hurt its box office results and caused criticism.

Nevertheless, Black Widow was a fun movie. It presented significant characters and ideas that will influence the future of the franchise. Fortunately, Marvel seems to take the lesson to heart and modified its future release plans.

Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania

Among the MCU’s worst letdowns was Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Even though Kang the Conqueror was introduced as the primary antagonist of the Multiverse Saga, the film’s lackluster performance and uninteresting side stories made it the lowest-grossing Ant-Man movie.

After Jonathan Majors was fired and Quantumania failed, Marvel probably decided to let Kang go instead of recasting him. Now that Doctor Doom has joined the MCU, attention is turned to a new danger.

Spider-Man: Far From Home

Spider-Man: Far From Home is the only film on the list that isn’t a part of the Multiverse Saga, even though it came out after Avengers: Endgame.

Instead, it serves as the Infinity Saga’s epilogue, revitalizing the series by changing Peter Parker’s story from one of local heroism to one of global adventure.

Mysterio, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, whose true identity is disclosed at the end of the movie, is one of the most prominent antagonists in the MCU.

Thunderbolts

The box office failure of Thunderbolts was unexpected, particularly considering that it was one of the best-reviewed movies in the franchise and had a New Avengers twist. The film is expected to rank among Marvel’s lowest-grossing releases in spite of those positive aspects.

It was difficult for the movie to make its little-known characters profitable. Its performance might have been negatively impacted by the negative reviews for Captain America: Brave New World, which came out a few months previously.

Thor: Love and Thunder

Thor: Love and Thunder, Chris Hemsworth’s most recent Thor film, relied too much on comedy, undermining two important plot points: Gorr the God Butcher’s quest to eliminate gods and Jane Foster’s fight with cancer. These components merited greater attention.

With more development, the movie may have made close to $1 billion. Although we will never be certain, Thor is scheduled to make a comeback in Avengers: Doomsday, and Thor 5 is anticipated to have a more somber tone.

Deadpool & Wolverine

Deadpool & Wolverine broke a significant film industry record and are now one of the MCU’s biggest box office hits. The picture, which stars Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds, is currently the highest-grossing R-rated film ever made. It was also the first X-Men-starring project in the MCU.

Deadpool & Wolverine demonstrated how Marvel can still succeed when it was released in a year that was exceptional in that there was only one MCU movie. It revitalized the series and demonstrated the multiverse’s possibilities.

Eternals

Despite not having the widespread appeal Marvel had hoped for, Eternals is one of the most unique movies in the MCU. It aspired high but had trouble balancing its vision, starring Angelina Jolie and Game of Thrones’ Kit Harington.

Not every character got the same amount of attention because there were so many. Although the picture was visually stunning and ambitious, its intricacy became a weakness. Eternals eventually flew too close to the sun, much like Ikaris did.

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3

Only legitimate MCU films are left after this, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is the best installment in the cosmic saga. It effectively concluded the team’s adventure and provided a strong, poignant focal point for Rocket Raccoon’s history.

The movie also alluded to Star-Lord’s future in the MCU and laid the groundwork for a new Guardians movie. It’s an exhilarating new beginning as well as a moving conclusion.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Although Black Panther: Wakanda Forever made less than its predecessor, it still did well at the box office. Since Black Panther was a cultural phenomenon, it seemed doubtful that its success would be matched. Marvel nevertheless produced a stirring and moving follow-up.

Namor’s battle with Wakanda and Shuri’s metamorphosis into the next Black Panther are highlighted in the movie. Deepness and excitement were contributed by these components. The film also distinguishes itself with its significant character development and outstanding world-building.

These 19 most anticipated TV shows coming in 2025 have got the fans waiting.

From blockbusters to bombs

The MCU continued to shatter box office records worldwide with the huge success of Avengers: Endgame, and as of right now, 14 films are rated by their influence.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Thor: Love and Thunder, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness all crossed the $1 billion global milestone, while Spider-Man: No Way Home shot to over $1.9 billion.
