You might read this and chuckle because it's common knowledge that an MCU property is box office gold. That's true, no doubt, but, as Captain Marvel highlighted, even those that are destined for greatness can outdo themselves.

Spider-Man has an interesting relationship with the big screen. Despite the fact that he is Marvel's most recognisable hero, not a single one of his films have crossed that coveted one-billion mark. Even his long-awaited MCU solo outing, Spider-Man: Homecoming, fell into the familiar $800 million territory.

So, what makes this year's Spider-Man: Far From Home different?

It's no surprise that the film's global cume is once again expected to be around $800 million, with some suggesting that it will finally hit the $900 million mark. However, there's a strong chance that it will outdo even the most optimistic projections, and the reason lies in the fact that it will be the first MCU installment released after Avengers: Endgame - a movie that will undoubtedly bring about the end of an era for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

So, you can rest assured that the MCU's legion of die-hard fans will be lining up to see the next chapter following the monumental movie.

Additionally, Endgame's attachment to Captain Marvel undoubtedly played a major role in its resounding success, so it could very well have a similar effect on Spider-Man: Far From Home. If that happens, we should expect to see Spidey swing past his familiar stomping grounds before finally crawling his way past the one-billion mark.
