And his debut is only ahead of the Amazing Spiderman movies even with RDJ and Michael Keaton. It didn't kill at the box office like you think.Most recent example is Tom Holland. No one is seeing his non-Spider-Man movies. Also most people never seen him in anything before he appeared in the MCU
I think Aquaman would be a better example. Still no star power doesn't help especially someone like Ezra when you google him only bad stuff comes up and no movies you like.
