In recent times, Marvel's film world has experienced severe setbacks. It began with low box office earnings for movies that were supposed to be blockbusters and continued with the recent scandal when actor Jonathan Majors, who played the character set to lead the next phase of the films, was arrested and accused of assaulting a woman. What will be the future of the films?

"Variety" magazine wrote about Marvel's many troubles, and reported that at the studio's annual creative summit, in which studio president Kevin Feige was also present, there was a general sense of anxiety. As mentioned, the biggest problem is the trial of Majors who insists that he is the victim in the story, but the damage to his reputation has already been done and Marvel does not want to take a risk and is looking for new solutions: focusing on a new villain, or even recasting the character.

Another issue facing the studio is that the upcoming film "Marvels," a sequel to "Captain Marvel," which has undergone too many edits and additional shoots, is expected to disappoint at the box office and not recoup its profits. Additionally, the studio is grappling with problems in the special effects teams, the television department, and it has been reported that the studio's president, Kevin Feige, is somewhat "scattered."

Interestingly, "Guardians of the Galaxy: Part 3" was the film that somewhat saved Marvel in the past year. However, duplicating its success is almost impossible since it's directed by James Gunn, who was fired by Marvel and went on to lead their competitors: DC Studios.

Various sources have reported that they are considering dramatic steps, including the return of the original 'Avengers' team for another film, a move that would require resurrecting characters like Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man) and Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), who were killed in the film "Avengers: Endgame" and would entail high actor salaries.
