The Marvels Budget Revealed for Upcoming MCU Sequel
Following various reports of a surprisingly low budget, The Marvels budget has reportedly been revealed in full, thanks to a new report from Forbes.
Forbe’s latest report notes that, according to financial documents released in new company filings from Disney, The Marvels budget is around $270 million, with the company having spent $274.8 million on the film during its time filming. The company also revealed that it had received a $55 million subsidy from the United Kingdom during its time filming, bringing the total budget to around $219.8 million.
This means that in order to become a “profitable” film, The Marvels would have to make roughly $439.6 million at the global box office. While not a foregone conclusion, the original Captain Marvel made more than twice that, taking in $1.1 billion by the end of its run.
The news comes following reports that the budget for the film was significantly less. In a profile on director Nia DaCosta, Vanity Fair noted that the budget for the Captain Marvel sequel was just $130 million before removing that mention from the article in a later revision. It’s unknown if that number was just for the strict production budget of the film, which wouldn’t take into account any marketing or promotion costs.
The Marvels will see the return of Oscar winner Brie Larson as she reprises her role as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, who fans last saw in Avengers: Endgame. Joining Larson in the sequel are WandaVision breakout star Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau and Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel. It’s set to hit theaters on November 10, 2023.
The sequel is directed by Nia DaCosta (Candyman) from a screenplay by Megan McDonnell. Additional cast also includes MCU vet Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury
