The entire year of 2023 will be an unprecedented and disastrous year for Marvel and DC. Although we have been discussing the audience's aesthetic fatigue for superhero movies for many years, perhaps Disney and Warner did not really realize it until this year. Movie fans really don't have much interest in movies on this subject anymore.
Throughout 2023, Marvel launched three movies: "Ant-Man 3", "Guardians of the Galaxy 3" and "Captain Marvel 2". In addition to "Guardians of the Galaxy 3" being a hit at the box office, "Guardians of the Galaxy 3" was a hit at the box office. The box office performance of "Ant-Man 3" was mediocre, while the box office performance of "Captain Marvel 2" set a new lower limit for a series of Marvel movies.
Looking at DC, life is even more difficult. DC has launched as many as four superhero movies this year: "Shazam 2", "The Flash", "Blue Beetle" and the yet-to-be-released "Aquaman 2". Although "Aquaman 2" has not yet officially met with movie fans, and its box office prospects and reputation are still difficult to predict, the first three movies have all failed at the box office. Although "The Flash" has received a good reputation, it is embarrassingly poor at the box office. In terms of performance, "The Flash" may be the most explosive movie in Hollywood this year.
Superhero movies have gone from dominating the screen to now on the verge of collapse. For movie fans, this kind of movie-watching fatigue is inevitable, but have Marvel and DC given up? What is clear is that 2024 could be a very important year for Disney and Warner, as both movie giants only plan to release one movie next year, and both movies are highly anticipated R-rated superhero movies by fans. Movie.
Marvel will launch the highly anticipated "Deadpool 3" next year. This movie is definitely one of the most anticipated movies next year for many movie fans, not only because of the success of the first two movies in the series, Also because "Uncle Wolf" Hugh Jackman joined, and also because of the memories of the Marvel movies from the 20th Century Fox era.
Similarly, "Joker 2" released by DC next year has also become one of the most anticipated Hollywood movies next year. 2019's "Joker" achieved great success in terms of reputation and box office. Joaquin Phoenix's impeccable performance Between the acting, a movie starring one of the most anticipated villains in DC history, and the addition of Lady Gaga, you can't resist the release of "Joker 2" (the only thing holding you back is not bringing it in).
Although there will be three superhero movies released by Sony Pictures next year ("Kraven the Hunter", "Mrs. Spider" and "Venom 3"), obviously "Deadpool 3" and "Joker 2" are the The superhero movie that fans are most looking forward to next year. So whether it is for Marvel or DC, the two R-rated movies will be very important to both companies. Whether they can restore disappointed fans may depend on these two superhero movies.
There is no doubt that the "Deadpool" series and "Joker" are recognized money-making tools for Marvel and DC. 2016's "Deadpool" and 2018's "Deadpool 2" both gained global popularity The box office was US$780 million, and DC's "Joker" released in 2019 grossed US$1.07 billion at the global box office.
Both series of movies are independent of the mainline movie universes of Marvel and DC. Both series of movies are R-rated. Although the viewing group has limitations, the final box office results prove that independent superhero movies is completely feasible and can even be a huge commercial success. Therefore, both studios undoubtedly have great confidence and expectations for the two new films to be released next year.
"Deadpool 3" is currently scheduled to be released on July 26, 2024, and "Joker 2" is scheduled to be released on October 4, 2024. Whether DC and Marvel can win back the confidence of movie fans may only wait until The two R-movies will be revealed when they return. Are you looking forward to these two comic-book movies that will be released next year?
