Spider - Man : No Way Homeis the 7th highest - grossing movie of all time worldwide , behindAvengers : eternity Warat No . 6 andAvengers : Endgameat No . 2 .
However , given the fact thattheMarvelscastwas mostly unavailable to promote the moving-picture show as its release coincided with the end of the 2023 actors strike , it remain to be see if the rest of Phase 5 will stick to the trend ofThe MarvelsandQuantumania . The next flick on the docket isDeadpool 3 , a sequel to the popularX - Mensubfranchise that could perform very well . It ’s unclear how the follow - upCaptain America : Brave New Worldmight perform , but form 5 may have kicked off a flow of back - and - forth unbalance rather than an inevitable microscope slide downwards .
