This week on The ESE Files, we're breaking down why the superhero genre might finally be losing its grip on audiences. With James Gunn’s Superman pulling in a surprisingly modest $68M on opening weekend and Fantastic Four tracking for similar numbers, the cracks are starting to show.


We dig into:

What Superman's box office performance really says about audience interest


Why Fantastic Four might already be in trouble before release


Marvel’s next big move: teasing the return of Robert Downey Jr. and the long-awaited live-action debut of Miles Morales


What these changes could mean for the future of the MCU and superhero films as a whole


Are we witnessing superhero fatigue… or just a shift in fan expectations?


🎧 Subscribe and join the conversation as we explore the highs, the lows, and what might be coming next for the biggest franchises in entertainment.
