Question - are superhero films on the decline???
First thoughts: no, not at all. One reason for this is that the past few superhero films have made a lot of money from the box office, for example the last superhero film Spiderman: Far From Home made over 1 billion dollars from a budget of 160m dollars which shows that audience interest is still there as audiences are still coming out in their thousands to watch these films, these numbers give Marvel no incentive to stop making said films as it's clear that any Marvel related project will automatically make money as the audience have become accustomed to Marvel's high quality. The theorist Steve Neale categorized that audiences expect 'instances of repetition
However, since writing Marvel have lost the rights to Spiderman which means they'll not be making any Spiderman films for the time being, damn you Sony), regarding the audience opinion: the film received an overall 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, this shows that not only are Marvel films financially successful, but critically acclaimed.
