The Marvel Cinematic Universe first graced movie screens in 2008 with the release of Iron Man. That film’s rousing success ushered in a new era of filmmaking where superhero and comic book films dominated the box office.

Marvel continued the universe afterward and we are now at 37 films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

But after COVID restrictions shut down the theaters for nearly a year, the MCU hasn’t been churning out the same box office numbers. Let’s look at each film released since theaters re-opened and see what may have contributed to their low, or high, box office.

Since launching in 2008, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has provided teasers to future properties. While many have become iconic like “the Avengers Initiative” or “Thor’s hammer” in New Mexico, others have been left as dangling threads.
