Last weekend, Marvel unveiled its plans for Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (along with a few hints and winks and nods about Phase Five -- which is mostly notable 'cause it means they're planning a Phase Five).
And we're currently in the middle of a year when, when it's all said and done, the top eight highest-grossing movies may well have all come from Disney or Marvel or both. The top eight. That's not a typo. Here, look:
- Aladdin (2019) (Disney)
- Avengers: Endgame (Marvel/Disney)
- Captain Marvel (Marvel/Disney)
- Frozen II (Disney)
- The Lion King (2019) (Disney)
- Spider-Man: Far from Home (Marvel/Sony)
- Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (Lucasfilm/Disney)
- Toy Story 4 (Pixar/Disney)
And so the question is: Is the future of movies Marvel and Disney?
And then The Nose takes a look at the present of movies from the opposite end of the box office spectrum with three indie films: The Art of Self-Defense, Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love, and Wild Rose.
