The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is reported to have experienced a decline in box office performance in 2025, with some outlets suggesting it is no longer a guaranteed success. The performance of certain movies, including Fantastic Four, has been cited as evidence of this decline, although reports on its box office performance are mixed. The DC Universe (DCU) may be gaining ground as a result, with some of its movies, such as those featuring Superman, performing well at the box office.
