In the post-Avengers: Endgame<\/a> era, \u201csuperhero fatigue\u201d is often blamed for box office disappointment. Marvel\u2019s struggle to match the might of Endgame since its 2019 release is well documented, and the now defunct DC Extended Universe went out with a whimper when Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom came out in 2023. Sure, there have been bright spots. The Spider-Man movies continue to draw critical and commercial acclaim, and let\u2019s not forget Deadpool & Wolverine brought in over $1 billion at the box office. But, all told, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that audiences became tired by the sheer volume of superhero\u2026 content, most of which struggled to match the quality of previous phases.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

But, for Peter Safran, co-CEO of DC Studios alongside James Gunn, there was never superhero fatigue. Speaking to The Associated Press<\/a>, he insisted there was instead \u201cmediocre movie fatigue.\u201d His point is that superhero movies just weren\u2019t as good any more, resulting in a desire from audiences for something a bit different.<\/p>\n
