Summary The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been the most successful series in the history of cinema. At this time, 10 MCU movies have made $1 billion or more at the box-office. No other studio has seen this kind of success with a single franchise, and with that comes a number of lessons that can be taken, especially when reviewing the Marvel movie box office.
Constructing a larger team and making the pieces of the universe build toward something must be done with patience. From the Multiverse Saga, which laid the first seeds of Thanos in 2012, through to its realization in Avengers: Endgame in 2019, or the original Spider-Man from 2002 leading into Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021, the most successful components of the MCU have taken their time. Using that time well has led to great financial success for the studio.
While the legacy element for a lot of superhero stories tends to be the renown of the original comic story being adapted, there's perhaps most real resonance when Marvel acknowledges the most successful aspects on its own movie past. This can be true even for shorter cameos, as the multiversal storytelling in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness nearly grossed $1 billion seemingly in part because viewers were curious to see elements like Patrick Stewart's return as Professor X.

However, this has recently slowed down, showing that there is a seeming cap of sorts that can be met on some of these franchises.
Spider-Man: No Way Home featured three leads and was enormously successful, while The Marvels failed when doing a similar thing. The key difference here is the audience's investment in the characters, as viewers must have a significant investment in the core figures involved before their larger team can have any true significance.
