‘The Marvels’ Box Office Dreams Are Derailed as ‘Secret Invasion’ Makes a Mockery of ‘Avengers: Endgame’

Did you know that The Marvels was originally scheduled to be released on July 28? That means we would have already seen the highly anticipated Brie Larson sequel this weekend. However, we now have to wait several more months until it finally hits theaters in November. This delay not only disappoints eager Marvel fans but also poses a significant threat to the film’s box office performance. Without the timely release, the movie could miss out on a substantial source of revenue.

Surprisingly, Warner Bros. could indirectly affect a Marvel Studios release. Although not a DC movie, Dune: Part Two is still set to be released in November and is expected to monopolize IMAX screens. This means that The Marvels won’t receive the same IMAX treatment this fall. As Marvel films are highly popular IMAX releases, this could have a significant impact on its global box office earnings. It’s possible that the movie may fall short of reaching the impressive $1.1 billion earned by Captain Marvel, unless one or both of the movies are delayed once again.

Secret Invasion director confirms what we suspected about Rhodey is correct, even if it makes no sense

The finale of Secret Invasion led us to believe that Rhodey may have been a Skrull since Captain America: Civil War. However, having an imposter for that long seems far-fetched, doesn’t it? Well, according to director Ali Selim, Marvel’s intention is exactly that. He revealed the big secret that we thought would be addressed in Armor Wars. If this is true, it means Rhodey has been a fake for half of his entire MCU journey. While it may create an interesting character arc for him in his own film, it diminishes the emotional moments involving War Machine since 2016.

Is the delay of The Marvels to blame for the perceived failure of the Secret Invasion finale?

As mentioned earlier, The Marvels was initially set to release in July, but it had undergone multiple rescheduling since last July. This raises the question: was Secret Invasion originally intended to be a sequel to The Marvels rather than a prelude to it? The show went through extensive reshoots last fall, suggesting that the finale and the second half of the series were significantly altered when Marvel realized the release order needed to be changed. It’s possible that the initial plan was to deliver an epic ending to Secret Invasion.

Stay up to date with more Marvel news, including the sneaky removal of a Spider-Man crossover from Secret Invasion, to avoid falling behind.
