re: Was Antman a failure?

It's not a failure but it'll definitely start making Marvel second guess about investing 100+ million dollars into some of these lesser known properties.

Meh.... I doubt it. It's going to be successful, and it's going to add another layer. This was cheap and effective compared to the tent pole films.

If Doctor Strange also doesn't do well, Marvel will have to seriously start rethinking their plans for Captain Marvel, Black Panther, and Inhumans.

I would agree with this however. Dr. Strange is going to be a tough sell. Although I think it can be super unique.

With Captain Marvel hitting before Wonder Woman, I could see the hype getting big over a female superhero movie. I don't know, I think Captain Marvel is a wild card and has GotG-like potential with the right play.


Also, the marketing for Ant-Man wasn't as clever. They need to let whoever marketed GotG have the freedom to do similar things for all movies. Ant-Man's stuff was far too standard.
