Interest in superhero films is declining, even among fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a new poll finds.

The survey of 2,200 adults, released Thursday by Morning Consult, arrives in the wake of Marvel Studios' Comic-Con International announcements, which includes two Avengers films for 2025.

Conducted July 30-31, the poll found 59 percent of adults say they enjoy superhero movies, down from 64 percent in November 2021. Meanwhile, the share of adults who don't enjoy superhero films climbed 5 points, from 36 percent to 41 percent. Morning Consult notes that number has increased 9 points since 2018.

Adding fuel to the long-running debate about "superhero fatigue," the findings come as some of Marvel's Phase Four films haven't, let's say, been as fully embraced by fans as previous MCU releases. (Spider-Man: No Way Home is the major exception, with its A+ CinemaScore and $1.9 billion global box office.)

Morning Consult also found that 82 percent of Marvel fans still enjoy the studio's films, down 5 percentage points from the fall 2021 survey. Nearly one-third of respondents admitted they are “getting a little tired of so many" MCU films. That's up 2 percentage points from the fall 2021 survey.

Share of Gen Z Adults Who Enjoy Superhero Movies Grew

It's not all doom and gloom, however. The poll found that the share of Gen Z adults who say they enjoy superhero movies, and will continue to watch them in cinemas, rose from 47 percent in November 2021 to 53 percent in July 22 By contrast, the percentage of millennials, Gen Xers and baby boomers that said the same dropped from last year.

At Comic-Con International in San Diego, Marvel unveiled a film slate that takes the MCU into 2025, with Blade, Captain America: New World Order, Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars joining such previously announced releases as Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and The Marvels.

Marvel closes out Phase Four in November with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, while DC Films marches ahead with Black Adam (October), Shazam! Fury of the Gods (December) and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (March). Despite repeated delays, and a growing list of controversies surrounding star Ezra Miller, The Flash is reportedly still on schedule to release in June 2023.

The same can't be said, however, for Batgirl, originally planned to stream on HBO Max. The film was abruptly canceled this week amid changes to Warner Bros. Discovery's strategy DC Films releases, and a reported negative test screening. That decision leaves in question the fates of Supergirl and Blue Beetle, both similarly targeted for HBO Max.
