The DC flick, Superman has recently outgrossed one MCU movie and is on track to beat another at the worldwide box office. Captain America 4, aka Captain America: Brave New World, is just a few million ahead of James Gunn’s latest movie. However, the DC superhero movie will overtake it soon. Keep scrolling for the deets.
The DC flick featuring David Corenswet in the leading role became the highest-grossing comic book movie of the year in North America this weekend. Now, it is time for it to achieve that title worldwide. The MCU truly needed this competition as they had failed to provide good content for the past few years. Marvel Studios might buckle up after this film’s box office success. There is another MCU flick set to be released this upcoming Friday, and it will be an all-out DC vs. Marvel war. However, Gunn’s film had the advantage of releasing earlier, but MCU’s movie will stay longer depending on how it performs.
