Black Panther 2 Becomes Biggest Female-Led Superhero Movie of All-Time In US


When Black Panther: Wakanda Forever wrapped up the MCU's 2022 theatrical schedule, it set a new box office record. In addition to establishing Letitia Wright's Shuri as the next Black Panther following Chadwick Boseman's tragic passing, Wakanda Forever boosted Marvel Studios' illustrious box office history. Fans flocked to the theatres in droves to watch how the MCU's Phase 4 story concluded as Marvel put all of its effort into making this sequel the best it could be, giving it the largest budget ever for a movie with a Black lead. Black Panther 2 came in just behind Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness when examining the entire 2022 cinema landscape, and it almost made the top five highest-grossing films of the year.

The Wakandan sequel has now made a new imprint in the United States as female-led superhero films finally earn their rightful place in Hollywood, significantly reducing the scope of the discussion.

New Domestic Box Office Record Set by Black Panther 2


Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is the highest-grossing female-led superhero film in U.S. box office history, according to Box Office Mojo, with $429,946,777 in domestic box office receipts. The previous record-holder, Wonder Woman (2017) from the DC Universe, was beaten by the MCU solo film Captain Marvel in 2019, which now holds the honour.

Below are the top eight female-led superhero films in domestic box office history:

1. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) - $429,946,777

2. Captain Marvel (2019) - $426,829,839

6. X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019) - $65,845,974

7. Elektra (2005) - $24,409,722

8. Catwoman (2004) - $40,202,379


Black Panther 2 trails both Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman in terms of global box office receipts, while it has a chance to overtake the DC movie before its theatrical run is over:

1. Captain Marvel (2019): $1,128,462,972

2. Wonder Woman (2017): $822,854,286

3. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022): $805,249,637

5. Birds of Prey (2019): $205,322,941



The seven highest-grossing female-led films in history are listed below for context, with four recent Star Wars theatrical releases leading the way:


1. Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015): $936,662,225

2. Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017): $620,181,382

3. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016): $533,539,991

4. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019): $515,202,542

7. Frozen II (2019): $477,373,578


Female-led films are establishing new standards

Female led Superhero movies are establishing new records.

Black Panther 2 contributed to the continuation of the MCU's winning record as it was just the third Marvel Studios film to include a female lead, and as Shuri assumed new roles within the MCU. Even though the main characters in the sequel worked together to advance the plot, Letitia Wright's protagonist was the centre of attention from beginning to end.

Even while Black Panther 2 didn't exactly achieve the same high objectives as its record-breaking predecessor, setting any kind of box office record is still a significant achievement, especially in the post-pandemic era when movie theatres are still struggling financially.

This is merely the most recent female-led Marvel Studios movie to hit theatres; Phase 5 will continue that trend with The Marvels and Thunderbolts in July 2023 and 2024, respectively. As the Multiverse Saga and subsequent projects advance, Shuri's future in the MCU appears to be set in stone. She will also play a significant part in 2025's Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.

In theatres now is Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Early 2023 is when the Disney+ streaming of the film is anticipated to start.

Jessica Jones Highlights Sexist Treatment Of Female Marvel Heroes

Image
Jessica Jones, one of Marvel's most powerful female characters, considers how poorly female superheroes are treated in the society she inhabits. Jessica Jones is not typically the first female superhero that comes to mind. She isn't as eye-catching as Captain Marvel or She-Hulk. With the exception of her time as Jewel, Jess prefers a leather jacket and a cup of coffee than the conventional cape and tights. Jessica Jones offers a perceptive commentary on the present condition of vigilantism and what it means to be a woman in that milieu in Marvel's The Variants. Ten years have passed since Jones was under Kilgrave's, a.k.a. the Purple Man, control when The Variants takes place. Jessica is prepared to retire from crimefighting now that she is married to Luke Cage and has a daughter. The first victim of Kilgrave, Maria Snyder, who is accused of killing her family, makes an attempt to deny responsibility in court. Unfortunately, Jessica is the only one who has an understand...

GoT's Lena Headey Sued Over Cut Thor: Love and Thunder Role

Image
Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey is being sued for $1.5 million by her former UK agency, Troika, for a variety of unpaid commission fees. These costs cover Thor: Love and Thunder, a movie in which Headey was cast but whose producers ultimately decided to delete her scenes. According to Troika, now known as YMU, Headey expressly owes them at least $500,000 for the movie Love and Thunder. Variety has revealed that she did indeed play a part in the original script written by director Taika Waititi, despite the fact that her inclusion in the Marvel Studios summer blockbuster was never promoted or formally announced. That position's specifics are still unknown. Numerous A-List actors were eliminated from Thor 4's final edit, including Headey's role. Christian Bale said that Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic World: Dominion and Game of Thrones co-star Peter Dinklage were cut from the fourquel. “I got to work with Peter Dinklage, that’s not in the final film, but I got to work with ...

Marvel Star Will Poulter Says Superhero Body Transformations Are 'Unhealthy' and 'Unrealistic'

Image
Source: Twitter Will Poulter, one of the MCU's newest actors, has stated that getting a superhuman physical change without a studio paying for your meals and training is "unhealthy" and "unrealistic." In a recent interview with The Independent, he said, "It's difficult to talk about it because with Marvel it's all secret squirrel." "However, the most important thing is that your mental and physical wellness come first, with aesthetic aspirations coming second." If you don't have the financial backing of a studio to pay for your meals and training, you'll wind up advocating something unhealthy and unrealistic.In that regard, I'm in a really fortunate position, and I wouldn't advise someone to prepare for that job the way I did." What is this job that Poulter is referring to? His role as Adam Warlock, a genetically engineered superhuman in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 film, which will be released next year. La...
