Surpassed the global haul of the lowest-grossing MCU movie
DC and Marvel have been rivals since comic book days, and they have separate large fan bases devoted to their favorite heroes. While DC failed to create a successful universe in the last several years, Marvel Studios’ MCU flourished, producing some of the biggest blockbusters, like Avengers: Endgame and more. James Gunn was also part of the MCU.
Success and glory are expected to come to DC with Superman and the films after that. For now, it has beaten the worldwide haul of the MCU‘s biggest bomb, The Marvels. The sequel to Captain Marvel was a big box office disaster. The film collected $206.1 million worldwide but failed to recover its hefty budget.
The Marvels Box Office Summary
- North America – $84.5 million
- International – $121.6 million
- Worldwide – $206.1 million
This is just the beginning. This James Gunn film is expected to surpass the number of Marvel and DC movies in its global run. Superman, led by David Corenswet, was released on July 11.
