But that’s the kind of pressure that comes with being one of the biggest stars in the comic book universe, who is getting a grand reintroduction at a tumultuous time. Thankfully he’s not doing it alone — Marvel Studios is also returning to theaters in a big way with two         data-gtm-enhancement-style="LinkEnhancementA" href="https://apnews.com/hub/movies">movies this summer, “Thunderbolts” and “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.”

Five years after the COVID-19 pandemic brought movie business to a halt, and two years after         data-gtm-enhancement-style="LinkEnhancementA" href="https://apnews.com/hub/hollywood-strikes/">the strikes, the industry has yet to fully recover. Critics may have complained of superhero fatigue, but after several summers of depleted offerings, it’s clear that they’re a vital part of the mix — especially when they’re good.

Summer Movie Math

Summer begins early in Hollywood, on the first weekend in May. Kids might still be in school, and pools might still be closed, but that kickoff can make or break that pivotal 123-day corridor that has historically accounted for around 40% of the annual box office.         data-gtm-enhancement-style="LinkEnhancementA" href="https://apnews.com/article/2024-summer-movie-preview-dd4640580b4d32cb235996eb69665ea9">Last year was the first in many that didn’t launch with a Marvel movie and it showed — the business limped along for weeks until Disney came to the rescue with         data-gtm-enhancement-style="LinkEnhancementA" href="https://apnews.com/article/inside-out-2-box-office-ea1994cf48357c6c2e833ff470051bbc">“Inside Out 2” and         data-gtm-enhancement-style="LinkEnhancementA" href="https://apnews.com/article/deadpool-wolverine-box-office-2ff49d29c7aa3cf037fb2326abbecd6f">“Deadpool & Wolverine.”

This year, the powerful studio is back in that familiar spot with “Thunderbolts,” which brings together misfits and antiheroes like Yelena Belova         data-gtm-enhancement-style="LinkEnhancementA" href="https://apnews.com/hub/florence-pugh">(Florence Pugh), Red Guardian (David Harbour) and Bucky Barnes         data-gtm-enhancement-style="LinkEnhancementA" href="https://apnews.com/hub/sebastian-stan">(Sebastian Stan).

“It’s a fun twist on what a movie like this could be,” said director Jake Schreier. “There are some places we’re gonna go that are different from what you would normally expect.”

He added: “It’s trying to be a movie about something and the moment we’re in — not in a political sense, but just where everybody’s at and what everyone’s been going through.”

The Memorial Day weekend could also be a behemoth a few weeks later with the live action “Lilo & Stitch” and “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” storming theaters. With a new “Jurassic World,” a live-action “How to Train Your Dragon” and a Formula One movie also on the schedule through June and July, the summer 2025 season has the potential to be the biggest in the post-COVID era.

Before the pandemic, all but one summer since 2007 broke the $4 billion mark. Since 2020, only one has: 2023, led by         data-gtm-enhancement-style="LinkEnhancementA" href="https://apnews.com/article/barbie-box-office-greta-gerwig-record-0e0cbd8116aff87798575c8af691d8b3">“Barbie.”


   
       
   

Saving Superman (and the DC Universe)

After three “Guardians” movies, James Gunn knows enough to know that he doesn’t have much control over whether people buy tickets for his movies. His job is to make something good, entertaining and “worthy” of the audience.

But that’s also possibly underplaying the pressure of taking on Superman and overseeing a         data-gtm-enhancement-style="LinkEnhancementA" href="https://apnews.com/article/tv-ezra-miller-robert-pattinson-james-gunn-320e0295e6fd450d00c80dfacebf54b6">unified DC universe that kicks off with “Superman” on July 11. He considers it the first true superhero movie he’s ever made.

“It’s a personal journey for Superman that’s entirely new,” Gunn said. “It is, first and foremost, about what does Superman learn about himself. But it’s also about the robots and the flying dogs and all that stuff. It’s taking a very real person and putting them in the middle of this outrageous situation and outrageous world and playing with that. I think it’s a lot of fun because of that.”
