Although the panic alarms have not yet sounded, in the offices of marvel studios They must not be having a very good time. Phase 4 of Marvel Cinematic Universe It was already chaos, with hits like Spider-Man: No Coming Home there Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessand obvious failures such as eternal oh Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The problem was that expectations were deposited in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniaand these were not satisfied.
What happened to Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania?
It is said that a film must increase by 3 times its budget to be considered profitable. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania cost $200 million and is on track to gross only $470-480 million worldwide. An absolute failure, even more famous than that of Eternos since there is no longer a pandemic involved and it is a third part of an already consolidated saga. Moreover, it is the most important film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe at least Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
The departure of Victoria Alonso, a direct consequence of the failure of Quantumania?
Victoria Alonso was a vitally important producer for marvel studios who has worked on all of the company’s films since Marvel Cinematic Universe (Except in The Incredible Hulk). In 2021, she rose through the ranks to become president of production for the company, becoming well known publicly for her strong advocacy for diversity and inclusion in this superhero franchise.
It is rumored that the exit could be due to the failure of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniabut The Hollywood Reporter makes it clear that there is nothing official. Besides, victoria alonso He has worked on projects outside of marvel studiosbeing a producer Argentina, 1985. The only thing that raises some doubts is that the production company that has most championed inclusion and diversity is leaving the company. Will this decline imply a change of course, to return to a less diverse and inclusive universe, closer to what we saw in its first three phases?
