The War of 2019 : MCU's CAPTAIN MARVEL vs DCEU's SHAZAM!

I think from now on things are going to start turning in DCs favor.

Remember that DCEU is over the hump thread too huh?

Is this based on anything beyond wishful thinking? Flashpoint just got yet another director.

Isn't the Flash solo movie getting proven directors that made Spider-Man Homecoming and Game Night a good thing? How is that not turning in DC's favor?

They wrote not directed Spider-Man Homecoming with 4 others writers also getting credit and they directed Game Night and the god awful Vacation.

I think Captain Marvel will perform better at the box office because practically any MCU film is likely to sell at this point. Plus, Captain Marvel is fairly popular. However, I'm more excited for Shazam.

Well, you can't really back against the MCU film at the moment. I actually personally know very little about Carol Danvers, never read a single comic with her in it. That's just me though. I'd put my money on Captain Marvel.

The film that I'd be most anticipating of the two would certainly be Shazam. If I had more confidence in WB's ability to produce a film that does the character justice.

Yup I have some insightful info from a insider from what I've been told things are slowly looking on the up.

That's what they said before Justice League came out too.

Marvel’s brand is strong so Captain Marvel will probably do well, because people will go see it just because it’s Marvel.

That being said, Shazam is in my top five DC heroes and I AM SO FREAKING PUMPED FOR THIS MOVIE!!!!

The law of averages is also inherently incorrect

Place yer bets!

Next year, we get two superhero movies debuting a month apart from each other: first in March 2019, we get CAPTAIN MARVEL starring Brie Larson from Disney. Then in April 2019, we get SHAZAM! starring Zachary Levi from Warner.

CAPTAIN MARVEL is definitely going to be compared to 2017's WONDER WOMAN.

SHAZAM! ... hmmm ... is probably going to be compared to ... ummm ... I give up, no idea what the closest MCU comparison would be. ANT-MAN, maybe?

And these two films will certainly be compared to each other, due to the history of the name "Captain Marvel" at both Marvel and DC (and Fawcett).

So, which of these two Spring 2019 films do you think will eventually perform better at the box - office? And why?

My first super - early predictions:

CAPTAIN MARVEL has higher expectations , esp since there is no BLACK WIDOW movie yet. It has to make a statement of some kind, i.e "move the needle", to be a hit.

SHAZAM! merely has to "not suck" to be a smashing success (thanks BVS and JL).

I think SHAZAM! will do slightly better domestically, while CAPTAIN MARVEL does better globally.

I think the Marvel comics movie will perform better strictly on track record. People expect them to be something they want to see.

"Shazam" is fighting an uphill battle but, if the rumors that it is an action comedy are true and if they heavily advertise it as such (and possibly in it's own world setting), it may do well.

Ok The law of large numbers or law of Foundation then lol
But Whatever man I already know that I'm just useing it as a basis or what if along with what I all ready know for why I think DC is going to turn around I wasn't saying it was exactly science.....

[maxmcco]

Gotta give this one to Captain Marvel. I hope Shazam does well enough to warrant a sequel but at this point, Marvel Studios is unstoppable. I'd like to see Shazam do as well as Dr. Strange. If Captain Marvel is half good, which is the case with most Marvel movies, it should clean up.
If Aquaman bombs (which I don't think it will), I hope they are able to edit Shazam to make it stand-alone and unattached to the DCU.

Not very fond of the photos coming from shooting


Especially annoying since this is one of the easier costumes to do right
