Okay, so I'm sure they're at a $285 to $300 million range budget, so it's going to have to make $625m to $650m to BREAK EVEN. I just don't see it. It doesn't have Endgame to build its numbers. There is no draw for the film. It may technically make money in the $750 million range, but that won't be a win for the studio - not with the disaster that was Phase 4 (the phase lost money, not just a picture or two). Phase 5 is only going to make money with GOTG 3 and that may not offset losses elsewhere, IMHO.

Capt Marvel in 2019 was reportedly 150-175 million (plus marketing) and made over a billion worldwide on box office.. so you think the sequel's budget will be double AND it also won't turn a profit?

I have no interest in seeing it, I didn't even watch Capt. Marvel in the theater, but it won't bomb unless every mathematical and statistical scenario you run it through is like extremely extremely way off.

The problem is a good movie has to have more than just CGI and Action. Studios have gotten lazy and think a lot of action makes up for bad character development. You have to give a crap about the characters and their stories.

The first three MCU movies were actually more character driven. Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor.
