Across the history of comic book movies in the MCU, the DCU, and beyond, there have been many sequels that have turned out to be disasters. Though many of the movies of the MCU have been massive successes, this isn’t the case for all comic book movies. While many films based on comic book source material go on to be successful with critics or at the box office, there are occasions that have seen such movies fare disastrously.
With mixed to negative reviews across the board, Joker: Folie à Deux was immediately in trouble. The underwhelming box office of its opening weekend saw it earn considerably less than was projected, swiftly marking it as an utter disaster. Considering the overwhelmingly positive reception of its 2019 predecessor, Folie à Deux’s critical and box office failures seem all the more dismaying by comparison.
Thor: The Dark World disappointed on almost all fronts. It was considered the dullest entry into the MCU at the time, and for a considerable period was labeled the franchise’s worst film. Poor handling of the film’s villain and its general narrative ultimately made for an uninteresting entry into the MCU, earning it a disastrously poor reputation with fans of the franchise.
