With the finale of witchy streaming show Agatha All Along on Halloween night, Marvel Studios has mostly wrapped its releases for the year.
There’s still the third season of animated series What If…? to come in December but its main titles are out of the way.
After years of saturation, Marvel smartly dialled back its breakneck release pace and in 2024 offered up only one movie, Deadpool & Wolverine, which grossed $US1.3 billion, and two live-action series, Echo and Agatha All Along, the latter of which was warmly received by fans.
It was a deliberate strategy for a soft reset after box office and critical disappointments including streaming series Secret Invasion and films Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and The Marvels, and a loud discourse that insisted so-called superhero fatigue had set in.
Building back up some of the goodwill the brand enjoyed at the height of its popular pre-COVID, Marvel now seems ready to ramp back up.
Over the weekend, Disney held its fan event D23 in Sao Paulo, Brazil where it rolled out celebrities from the Marvel Cinematic Universe such as Anthony Mackie and David Harbour plus boss Kevin Feige, a superstar among devotees.
