And Evans' comments aren't without merit. According to Box Office Mojo, five of the top ten superhero movies of all time are movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the first Avengers film taking the top spot and each individual film has been commercially successful in its own right. Each individual franchise has spawned sequels and beyond, the most recent being the third film in the Thor franchise, Thor: Ragnarok. And it's that kind of success that is leading Marvel into what could be a massive year. The two most-anticipated films of 2018 are both MCU films, Avengers: Infinity War, and Black Panther, which is already forecasted to bring in $120 million during its opening weekend — a sum that would put it ahead of Spider-Man: Homecoming 's massively successful $117 million first weekend.
