It has not been a great year for Marvel, with three films ranging from “not great” to “pretty decent” at the box office in the space of Thunderbolts, Captain America: Brave New World and now Fantastic Four. Add onto that a couple shows that were lobbed out without much fanfare (Ironheart, Eyes of Wakanda) and a supposed fan-favorite that was underwatched (Daredevil: Born Again), and 2025 was not ideal.

But of course, the general sense is that post-Endgame, the MCU has been lost at sea to some extent, and has not and likely will not reach the peak of Endgame and everything that came before. Why? You can say the ever-cited “superhero fatigue” or the fact that movie tickets cost too much, but in the context of Marvel, it’s more than that. In my view, there are three main pillars of the MCU that have had cracks shooting through them for years now.
