Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Only a handful of movies and TV shows in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been primarily led by female superheroes, and some have been far stronger than others. When Marvel Studios kicked off the MCU in 2008, the higher-ups at Disney and Marvel Entertainment worried that prominently featuring female heroes wouldn't garner a wide audience.
10 Black Widow Didn't Give Audiences What They Wanted Black Widow Was Led By Scarlett Johansson's Natasha Romanoff, A.K.A. Black Widow Close Despite being the longest-running female superhero in the MCU, Natasha Romanoff's Black Widow didn't embark on a solo adventure until Phase 4. Black Widow released after Romanoff's death in Avengers: Endgame, and initially gave audiences the grounded espionage thriller that many had wanted to see for Romanoff for several years.
Nevertheless, The Marvels still became the MCU's lowest-grossing movie since the franchise began, bringing in just over $206 million , faring even worse than 2008's The Incredible Hulk. The Marvels' box office failure might not make much sense, but this will ultimately leave the future of the MCU's Captain Marvel franchise in jeopardy.
The death of T'Challa perhaps would have been enough for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever to focus on. However, director Ryan Coogler also included the introduction of the mutant Namor, the evolution of Shuri into the Black Panther, attacks on Wakanda, the death of Queen Ramonda, and the development of a wider-reaching political storyline.
The fact that Brie Larson was so outspoken in her political views and her views on feminism, and the simple fact that Captain Marvel put a powerful woman front-and-center, spurred a campaign by a vocal minority to derail the movie, even before its release. Despite this ridiculous campaign, Captain Marvel still managed to gross over $1 billion at the global box office, marking a huge success for the MCU's first female-centric movie.
Ms. Marvel's blend of live-action and animated graphics emphasized the youthful nature of the titular hero, and not a second of the series' six-episode run felt wasted. Spanning from Jersey City to Karachi, Ms. Marvel was a truly global series with a massive, dimension-crossing storyline that Vellani did a fantastic job at taking in her stride, which is even more impressive considering this was Vellani's first on-screen acting role.
