Upcoming MCU Films: Critical and Commercial SUCCESS Predictions

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has seen numerous box office successes over the years, and the forecast for the next few years looks even more promising. While critics may offer mixed opinions, certain films are guaranteed to resonate with both audiences and critics. Let’s dive into the films that are predicted to be a hit both commercially and critically.

The Russo Brothers: A Guaranteed Success Formula

The Russo Brothers have been at the helm of some of the MCU's most successful projects, from 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' and 'The Civil War' to 'Avengers: Infinity War' and 'Endgame'. Their success rate is unparalleled in the MCU, and their involvement in upcoming films is a major draw.

The Russo Brothers are involved in 'Secrets' (assuming it gets divided into two parts), and 'Captain America', both of which are expected to be commercial and critical triumphs. Combine this with Robert Downey Jr.'s return as Doctor Doom, and you have a recipe for two guaranteed box office hits. Marvel's marketing and hype-building strategy only add to the anticipation for these films.

Successful Returns and Hype Building

The return of Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom is a significant event in itself. His previous roles in the MCU, such as Iron Man and Captain America, have garnered immense popularity. Captain America 4 is expected to be a hit, especially considering the fan base's desire to see Steve Rogers return to action. The Russo Brothers and Downey Jr.'s involvement promise a high-rent return to form.

Deadpool and Wolverine, despite being successful in the past, are seen as having diminishing returns. Captain America in this next installment is expected to be a hit in North America but may not generate the same level of hype elsewhere. Critics are likely to praise the film for its merits, but its success will be moderate.

Failed Characters and Critic Favorite: The Thunderbolts

The Thunderbolts is a film that has garnered significant buzz due to its casting of failed MCU characters. However, the inclusion of a committee of 7 writers is a red flag. It's unlikely that a film could maintain coherence with such a diverse writing team, and therefore, the film is predicted to flop.

The Future of Avengers

Avengers: Doomsday 1, thanks to the Russo Brothers and Robert Downey Jr., is expected to be a successful commercial and critical endeavor. The hype alone is expected to push this film to the top of the box office charts. If the committee's damage to the timeline can be managed, the second film in the series (Avengers: Doomsday 2) has a chance to be even more successful on its merits.

Summary of Upcoming MCU Films

The upcoming MCU films are packed with potential success, especially when the Russo Brothers and Robert Downey Jr. are involved. 'Captain America 4', 'The Thunderbolts', 'The Fantastic Four', 'Avengers: Doomsday 1 and 2', and 'Spider-Man: Far From Home' (4th film in the series) are all predicted to be successful both commercially and critically. The future looks bright for MCU films, and fans can expect a thrilling new era in the universe.
