The rumors thatJeff Lovenessand Michael Waldron have been removed from the Avengers movies come from a variety of sources, including scoopers and insiders. However, it’s crucial to remember that these rumors are just that—rumors. Marvel Studios has not endorsed them, and there is no hard proof to back them up.
Loveness and Waldron’s efforts in theAvengersfilms may not have satisfied the MCU. It’s also conceivable that these rumors are untrue in and of themselves. It is hard to know for sure what is going on until Marvel Studios releases an official statement. However, fans have provided a positive reaction to the removal of both these writers from the upcoming large-scale MCU projects.
The Failure of MCU’sAnt-ManFranchise Movie:Ant-Man 3
The movieAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniais regarded as a financial flop. Despite having a $200 million production budget and an estimated $100 million marketing spend, the film has made over $470 million globally. This implies that MCU will probably lose money on the movie. Additionally, the movie’s marketing effort was less successful than those of prior Marvel films.
Critics gave the movie a mixed bag of reviews; some praised its humor and action scenes while others criticized its narrative and character development. The movie also came out amid a congested summer movie season, when other high-profile productions likeTop Gun: MaverickandJurassic World Dominionwere also in theatres.
Whatever the causes of its failure, Marvel Studios’Ant-Man 3was a failure the franchise could not afford. The movie was intended to be a significant milestone for the MCU, establishing Kang the Conqueror as a significant antagonist. The low reviews of the movie, though, may make it more challenging for the MCU to employ Kang in future productions.
The long-term effects of the Ant-Man movie cannot yet be predicted. However, the movie did not go as planned by Marvel Studios and to ensure that their upcoming films are more successful, the studio will need to do some introspection on their part. There are many upcoming movies and TV shows for the franchise and they cannot afford to mess up another project for the sake of a better future.
