Are you excited for the upcoming Captain America: Civil War? Well, if so you may just be in the wrong if the latest social media analysis is anything to go by.
ListenFirst Digital Audience Ratings, who monitor social media traffic each week on behalf of Variety are reporting that DC films, Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad are easily outperforming the Captain America threequel, generating 500% more interest at the same point in their production schedule.
After twelve films it would be understandable that the audience would become weary, instead looking to the fresh new DC slate of films instead. However, it’s not just Warner Brothers who are ahead, Fox’s Deadpool is also outpacing the Star Spangled Man. Perhaps he should have stayed in the ice.
We’ll see who comes out victorious when the films are released later in the year.
What do you think? Is this a sign that Marvel is losing their touch? Is it time to put the franchise to bed? Let us know below!
