Marvel has hit a rough patch. There's been some good buzz lately with the 'The Fantastic Four' casting announcement. But "The Marvels" did poorly with critics and at the box office. Most crucially, Jonathan Majors created a veritable "Kangtastrophe" when he was accused of and subsequently found guilty of reckless assault in the third degree and guilty of harassment.
Marvel immediately fired Majors after the guilty verdict, but the loss of its big villain for the next phase of the MCU is still being felt.
