![]() Even though the Ant-Man movies aren’t huge grossers, the character of Scott Lang (played by genuine comic movie star Paul Rudd) was a huge added value element to Captain America: Civil War and eventually Avengers: Endgame. The franchise is also an example of Marvel’s character-first strategy. It was soon passed by Venom ($269 million), Aquaman ($298 million), Captain Marvel ($154 million) and Spider-Man: Far from Home ($199 million), but it was another case, like Coco, of an allegedly diverse/inclusive blockbuster overperforming not in North America but in the very territory often used as an excuse for why more tentpoles aren’t more inclusive. Ironically, while the first film’s $519 million and the sequel’s $623 million global grosses are well below anything after The Avengers, Ant-Man and the Wasp took a whopping $125 million in China in summer 2018, a record at the time for a non-ensemble superhero movie. ( Ant-Man, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Endgame)Īs the only solo franchise launched during Phase Two, Ant-Man has remained, well, the smallest of the ongoing MCU franchises. $5.093 billion worldwide over four movies If T’Challa had a few extra scenes in Endgame, this would have been a near dead-heat with Captain Marvel. With $700 million domestic (well above The Avengers and The Dark Knight) and $1.346 billion worldwide (well above Iron Man 3 and Aquaman), Black Panther grabbed quite a few folks who otherwise might not have flocked to (or gorged on repeat viewings of) a given MCU flick. Ryan Coogler and Joe Robert Cole’s Oscar-winning (and Best Picture-nominated) MCU actioner remains, in raw domestic and global grosses, the biggest solo superhero movie of all time. Wakanda Forever was and is the MCU franchise least likely to lose steam in Marvel’s post- Endgame aftermath. Not only is Black Panther the second-biggest-grossing Avenger “on average,” but his solo flick performed so well that appearing in the $1.155 billion-grossing Civil War decreased his averages. That’s an average of $1.516 billion worldwide and $606 million in adjusted domestic earnings. Black Panther’s three appearances have earned $4.549 million total and an inflation-adjusted $1.818 billion domestic. He’s merely “undusted” in Endgame, so it’s only three MCU movies thus far for the King of Wakanda, with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever arriving in theaters one year from today. The late Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa debuted alongside Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War, got his solo flick and then co-starred in Avengers: Infinity War during the Wakanda-set third act battle.
