Implications For The Marvel Cinematic Universe

Because the discourse surrounding Joker hasn't been exhausting enough, there's now a pissing match going on between Marvel and Martin Scorsese after the auteur derided the franchise as not cinema.” Naturally, the actors, writers, and directors who make the MCU were not entirely thrilled to get shit on by a filmmaker most of them looked up to, so it was only a matter of time until you had Samuel L. Jackson dropping bombs. The collected works of Ray Bradbury have been adapted into dozens of films, only a handful of which were written by the late author himself. Based on characters from Marvel Comics. Many a Spider-Man have come before (Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield) but Spider-Man: Homecoming is the first Spider-Man movie that's officially a part of the MCU.

Sony released a statement after the report blaming Disney and saying Feige was too busy with the Marvel characters that Disney acquired in the Fox merger (such as the X-Men and the Fantastic Four) to focus on Spider-Man.

Starting with a series of mostly self-contained origin stories (and one sequel) in Phase One, Marvel's ambitions soared higher with the breakout success of The Avengers, which united the casts of the five previous installments. It's because of Thor that we could got to space with a talking raccoon in Guardians of the Galaxy.

Eight of these movies have amassed more than $1 billion in ticket sales, and over the weekend Avengers: Endgame became the biggest movie in cinema history , with more than $2.79 billion in total global box office.
