Marvel Adds 2 New Avenger Titles to their Upcoming Slate

 Is what the world needs right now another Avengers movie? It seems that’s what Disney have decided, at least. Announced alongside their ComicCon-focused activities, we’ve seen the two new titles added to the upcoming superhero slate. Brandon Blake, entertainment attorney at Blake & Wang P.A, breaks down the announcement.

Phase 6 Wraps Up

The two new titles, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars are both slated for a 2025 release date currently. They will bring to a close the wildly successful MCU films, or at least the projected sixth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Phases four through six are currently being sold as the Multiverse Saga.


The last Avengers title, Avengers: Endgame, still keeps its title as the second-highest grossing film of all time, so it’s easy to see why they’ve added two new titles in this particular branch of the interlacing MCU films. Overall, the extended MCU universe has netted Disney over $25B in Box Office sales.


We also saw an 18-episode TV series from Daredevil, titled Daredevil: Born Again announced for 2024, and a Thunderbolts movie for the same year. 

Going Quantum

Phase Five, the approaching phase, will see a third entrant in the Ant-Man and The Wasp films, currently billed as Quantumania. This will take place in the quantum realm, and we’ve been given a few interesting teasers for what that means, though few solid details. There’s also the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 for fans to look forward to, and the much-anticipated Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.


For fans of the MCU, and the wider superhero universe, it’s sure to be exciting news. It will also be fascinating to see if Disney can keep up their thriving bottom line with the additional titles, or if we’ll see the increasing weariness with ‘subgenre sub-heroes’ start to overwhelm the wildly successful franchise as we’ve seen with some of the spinoffs. For now, however, things are looking positive.

Is Kung Fu Panda 4 the Key to a Reinvigorated 2024 Box Office?

Image
 With Dune: Part Two having finally powered up the 2024 box office, it's time to build on that impetus if the wider box office recovery is to continue.

Blake & Wang P.A. entertainment attorney Los Angeles , Brandon Blake, has more on this ironic twist for us.                                                                          Brandon Blake Two $40M Grosses on the Cards For the first time since July 2023 and the Barbenheimer dual release, we have a chance at not one, but two, films grossing over $40M this weekend.

Netflix Ad Tier Turns in Fantastic Growth

Image
 What a difference half a year can make! With Netflix’s ad-supported subscription tier first launched only 18 months ago, the streamer has managed to nearly double its subscriber base since the start of 2024. Blake & Wang P.A. entertainment lawyer , Brandon Blake, fills in the details. Brandon Blake Impressive Subscriber Gains Netflix’s total subscribers for the ad-supported tier now number 40 million monthly active users. In January 2024, it was 23 million. The streamer was understandably gleeful to reveal this news at its first in-person Upfronts presentation in New York earlier this month. At its first-ever Upfronts presentation, which was held digitally in 2023, the ad tier had 5 million monthly active users.   Additionally, we were told that 40% of active signups now opt for the ad-supported plan, in countries where it is currently available. Of course, much of this can be attributed to a rather kind price ($7 domestically) for this tier, well below most of ...

Hulu on Disney+ is Officially Here

Image
While the Hulu on Disney+ Beta bundle has been live since last year, we have officially reached the point of full integration. Intriguingly, much of the executive focus on the new bundle has been around the technical advancements needed to unite the two platforms. You could take a look at entertainment lawyer Brandon Blake, from Blake & Wang P.A., looks in more depth at the united offering.                                              Brandon Blake Technical Advancements While few viewers are likely to know (or care, frankly) about the backstage technology that powers their viewing experience, Disney executives have been keen to hammer home the potential for happier, healthier subscriber engagement and retention with the new tech shift. They have gone as far as to call it the “most extensive technical advancement” since launch. At this point, it is clear that they ...
