“Endgame” is the culmination of 11 years of story lines in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and 21 prior movies featuring many of the world’s most popular heroes. The highly lucrative franchise has benefited from more than a decade of intense loyalty for the franchise among people who have gotten to know Iron Man/Tony Stark, Captain America/Steve Rogers, Thor and other characters over the course of the previous movies.
The film’s extraordinary success further validates the enduring appeal of cinema even in the age of streaming, the brothers said. People want to see the Marvel movies in theaters and experience the collective feeling they get from cheering for their favorite characters, the directors said. “It can feel a little like a rock concert,” Anthony Russo said.
The latest film also benefited from a global release strategy that made sure the film opened in nearly every country during the same week, including China, the world’s second largest box office market.
