How Long Could The MCU Realistically Last?

[bogey_j]

I mean, do yall really see them still topping the box office in 2030 breh?

how long could the superhero hype really last before audiences start to tune out?

They've got Mickey mouse money now. So the franchise is basically immortal and it's own film genre at this point

 

[Ziggiy]

For as long as there be Black Panther sequels

 

[Trapperman Dave]

As long as the movies are good it’s as simple as that

 

[-DMP-]

Long as kids still being born and still watching cartoons

FOREVER!!!!!!

Realistically, these joints can out live us all.

(but for the sake of the thread and from what we've seen)

Until they do Dark Phoenix again. That seems to be the Telomere.

Real question is how long until a reboot. Otherwise the answer is indefinitely.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Well even before the MCU was formed.... if you can take in consideration Comic book movies been around sense some of y’all grandparents where young and alive.

And that and that was without the machine

Now with this machine behind them, easily they will outlive us

Theres more than 60 years worth of stories for hundreds of characters breh and that's talking about literal word for word adaptations not doing it's own thing like the MCU is

A character like Moon Knight could legit have at least his own trilogy think about that.

They have to reboot it only cuz of actors getting old or not being well received

I know one thing......I'm puttin hands on Feige if they fukk up Doom.

But yeah, Comic Book movies are going on damn near 40 years in the box office starting with Supes. shyts ain't going nowhere. And with both Disney and AT&T owning the characters, those machines ain't letting them fail. It's impossible since all you gotta do is wait and reboot anyway if a movie is trash. Double your budget and you'r in the black too? shyt, these movies do that with EASE at this point.

Easily another 10+ years if they want.

There was a reason they went with such a young actor for Spidey.

I think the source material and it's history is why this can go for a really long time. Since the 1930s a percentage of the population has been into it. Therefore, almost every living generation now has a segment that has some interest. No other fiction has that going for it.
The only thing that stops this train is something considered consistently better by the movie going audience comes along. Gonna be hard, DC/Warner has the best shot because they have the same built in history/audience/source material.
