I do worry about Captain Marvel though and the Inhumans. They already have a misfit group in Guardians of the Galaxy, so I could see Inhumans failing badly. And I like Captain Marvel a lot, but I see that being a tougher sell than BP or Dr. Strange
There is no way -- NONE -- that Marvel is dumb enough to cancel Captain Marvel as punishment for Ant-Man for "underperforming" by $7 million.
Marvel has been getting killed for its lack of diversity (which is partly unfair, the Avengers team now has two black members and two women, and 3 of the top 4 billed actors in Guardians were minorities). Also, the demographics of ComicCon showed that more women attended than men. Let's say that again: more women attended COMIC-CON, the traditional hobby for awkward teenage boys. Yet Marvel is yet to release a movie with a woman in the titular role.
We call that an underserved market. Marvel would love to get Captain Marvel out in the same summer as Wonder Woman and then have their lesser known character outsell the more established WW. Marvel, make no mistake, has tons invested in the success of Captain Marvel. That movie has a reacl chance to make ridiculous amounts of amount, if done right.
Also, don't piss off the Carol Corps. They are one of your most loyal constituencies, and they will burn down your other properties if you even hint that you are not supporting Captain Marvel.

The biggest thing that she has going for her is that she has the co-opted name of Captain Marvel.
If Ant-Man's underperformance will lead to anything with Captain Carol, it would be for them to pay a bit more for a big box office draw of an actress.
