Rank the Marvel A-list to D-list in regards to BOX OFFICE potential

posted 8 years ago by Ultradog

Here's how I see the Marvel brands tier status currently, in terms of box office POTENTIAL in the next 5-7 years:

Avengers
Iron Man
Guardians of the Galaxy
Spider-Man
____________

X-Men
Captain America
Deadpool
Doctor Strange
_____________

Fantastic Four
Thor
Daredevil
Hulk
___________________

Inhumans
Black Panther
Wolverine
Ant-Man
Captain Marvel

My list is a blend of current status based on recent movie ticket and merchandise sales, and also potential movie ticket sales IF their next movie were a well made movie made by Marvel Studios WITHIN the MCU. For example, I put Fantastic Four between where they are right now movie-wise (damaged and bottom of the barrel), and where they could be, if handled properly (A or at least B-list). Another example, I think Thor:Ragnarok could make a billion later this year, but if that happens it will be with the help of Hulk and Doctor Strange.

What's your list look like? Please keep to an arbitrary but strict rule of 3-5 names maximum per tier,

What new characters/teams could most likely be introduced in a movie in the next 5-7 years that could make their way somewhere on this list? Namor is one that I can imagine.

My life has major plot holes.
