Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is controversial. With the end of the Infinity Saga, a new direction needed to be established. New characters and franchises debuted on the big screen, but they didn’t always generate excitement with audiences.
With that in mind, you’d expect Phase 4 of the MCU to see a drop in box office earnings, right? After all, the phrase “superhero fatigue” has been thrown around a lot.
We review the numbers provided by Box Office Mojo to find out how much every Phase 4 Marvel movie made in theaters. The figures account for the estimated domestic lifetime gross of each film.
