The Marvels
MCU
Upon its debut on Wednesday, The Marvels received underwhelming review scores, positioning it as the third lowest-rated movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). However, over time, this status has experienced a change.
Initially, based on around 60 reviews, The Marvels scored 54% on Rotten Tomatoes. Subsequently, with an influx of additional reviews, the movie’s rating has increased to 61%, just barely crossing the threshold from “rotten” to “fresh.”
Despite this improvement, The Marvels still maintains its position as the third worst-rated MCU movie, with hopes of surpassing Thor: Love and Thunder’s score of 63%.
- Thor: The Dark World – 67%
- Thor Love and Thunder – 63%
- The Marvels – 61%
- Eternals – 47%
- Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania – 46%

Despite the 7% rise in rating, The Marvels’ current standing still reflects poorly on the quality of the MCU. However, attention pivots to the film’s box office performance, which is anticipated to be one of the lowest in MCU history, potentially failing to cover its $200 million budget and associated marketing costs. This outcome is undesirable for Disney.
Looking ahead, Disney aims to rejuvenate the franchise with upcoming projects such as Deadpool 3, Captain America 4, Thunderbolts, and Blade. The studio seeks redemption through a renewed focus on older audiences, taking into account the reception of The Marvels among younger viewers.
