    An average of 3 per year starting from 2003. By 2011 it was an average of 5 superhero movies per year. Currently we’re on 6 a year.

    I find it interesting that this seems to overlap with the period of Trump’s rise to power.

      Disney:

      Captain America: Brave New World $200,500,001

      Thunderbolts* $189,945,847

      Fantastic Four – July 25, 2025

      Warner:

      Superman $155,045,310
