2025 will be the first time since 2011, a superhero film has not reached $ 700 million at the world box office

It becomes more and more difficult to deny the existence of the fatigue of superheroes, especially by looking at how the Marvel and DC films of 2025 played the world box office.

Superman is the clear winner of the year, with an expected transport of $ 625 million at the time of the end of his race. The Fantastic Four: First steps will arrive in second position with a total of $ 525 million planned, then everything is down from there.

Captain America: Brave New World Tapped with $ 415 million earlier this year, while Thunderbolts *– The best assessed superhero film of the year – only managed to reach $ 383 million when everything was said and done.

Thanks to COVID-19, no superhero film was published in 2020. By taking this aside, with none of the outings of 2025 which should reach $ 700 million, it is the first time since 2011 (14 years ago), during a non-pandemic year, that a superhero film failed to reach this figure.

It is a disturbing statistic. Thunderbolts * I was always going to fight with a cast of characters best known to be streaming, while The Fantastic Four: First steps was responsible for repairing a franchise which had become better known to produce terrible films (on the basis of the critics and the response of the fans, he succeeded).

However, the Captain America And Superman Sub-performative franchises like this are disturbing. In the latter’s defense, he arrives at the back of a series of horrible DC films, but the fall in CAP grace is legitimately shocking.

Is this the start of the end for superheroes? It is unlikely. Studios simply need to understand how to do them for much less money, and 2026 will be the biggest test like Spider-Man: A new day And Avengers: Doomsday should be guaranteed to exceed $ 1 billion. If they don’t, it may be time to panic.
