  • Ever since I watched RedLetterMedia's "F*ck You, It's January" (YouTube | Piped) I cannot stop noticing how studios will drop movies they don't have faith in at the very start of the year.

    To date, based off my very detailed research of quickly scrolling through Wikipedia, Marvel has only released two MCU movies in February: Black Panther, and Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania.

    With the numerous data-set of two points, it seems like Marvel has two potential reasons for not having faith in a movie:

    1. It actually is bad (see Quantumania)
    2. It is a Black-led movie (see Black Panther)

    You could make the case that they dropped Black Panther in February because it is Black History Month, but Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was released in November...

    With all this said, now, I am curious in their lack of faith in the new Captain America movie. I've already mentioned the two reasons, I would expect them to not have faith in it, but there is a third reason as well:

    1. New MCU movies simply don't have the draw that the old ones did. Even a decent quality MCU movie would really need to stand out for audiences to notice, and this movie may just not stand out...

    Whatever their reason for releasing Captain America: New World Order in February is, I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.
