Disastrous Year for Marvel
2023 has been a disastrous year for Marvel, both economically and internally. Ticket sales have dropped significantly at the box office, and key executives have suddenly left the company. Additionally, actor Jonathan Majors, who was slated to be Marvel's next big star, has been found guilty of domestic violence. This poses a significant problem for Marvel as they had cast Majors in a pivotal role as the supervillain Kang, who was meant to be a central figure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This recent development is a blow to both Majors' career and Marvel's plans.
