10 Awful Looking Upcoming Movies That Will Make Serious $$$

7. Captain America: Brave New World

After most of the original Avengers bowed out in Infinity War and Endgame, with Tony Stark, Black Widow and Captain America leaving us with nothing but good memories and a boatload of movies, the MCU began a titanic decline that no sticking-plaster fan service (a la No Way Home or Deadpool and Wolverine) can fix.

But will that stop Marvel from trying?

Resurrecting the Cap character in the form of his obnoxious protégé, Sam Wilson/Falcon, who has lost the hat and added wings to the iconic suit, Brave New World seeks to breathe new life into the franchise by, uhh, re-treading The Winter Soldier. Yep, it's another bout of Cap coming to terms with his place in the military-industrial complex, and it wasn't exactly riveting the first few times.

Stealing imagery from other, better movies like Independence Day and The Dark Knight, the fourth Captain America movie is going back down the otherworldly-political thriller route with a conspiracy inside the US government, all whirling around Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross (now played by Harrison Ford), who is finally going to turn into Red Hulk.

It feels like too little too late but, despite flagging numbers, Marvel films on the whole are still making a killing, and it will be a surprise if this one doesn't do the same.
