Part 2/8:
To understand the breadth of "Brave New World's" success, one must consider the historical performance of previous Marvel films. The latest entry, while performing respectably, pales in comparison to the monumental success of its predecessors, particularly the earlier "Captain America" films led by Chris Evans. The first "Captain America," released back in 2011, had a fortunate release amidst a growing community of Marvel fans, partially fueled by earlier hits like "Iron Man" and "Thor." In contrast, "Brave New World" arrives amid a notable decline in the public's enthusiasm for Marvel films, facing headwinds from fluctuations in storytelling quality and audience engagement.
