The MCU has produced more than 30 films since its inception, and only a few movies in the history of cinema have made $1 billion or more at the global box office. Marvel has made several of them[3].
As of now, the series has produced some of the highest-grossing movies ever made, with "Avengers: Endgame" briefly holding the title for the highest-grossing movie ever made. "Spider-Man: No Way Home" and "Avengers: Infinity War" also rank among the top earners[1][2][4].
With upcoming Marvel movies on the horizon, it remains to be seen if they can continue this trend of box office success. The total box office for the MCU since 2008 is tens of billions, making it the biggest movie franchise of all time[3].
