via Walt Disney Pictures Disney is having quite the year.  From fighting political battles with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to conquering the box office with some of the biggest movies of the year, the House of Mouse can’t be stopped. Sadly, only Avatar: The Way of Water has become a global phenomenon. Other films like the live-action The Little Mermaid and MCU movies like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 have fallen short of expectations.

As a result, an upcoming MCU sequel a portion of the fandom will undoubtedly hate has been deemed the company’s box office savior. If it can match its predecessor, it’ll be fine, but the MCU’s recent slate of films has resulted in cautious optimism.   Meanwhile, Indiana Jones and the Dial of…

It’s not secret that the almighty corporation has been suffering more misses than hits recently, with Strange World and Lightyear both conspiring to lose upwards of $100 million each right before Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and The Little Mermaid severely…

Marvel’s Black Panther proved the mass appeal of Afrofuturism storytelling when the world of Wakanda was unveiled on the big screen in its 2018 release.
