There’s always been a healthy bit of competition between Marvel and DC and things just got spicier.
On his Fat Man on Batman podcast, Christopher Markus, one of the Avengers: Infinity War writers said:
“I would look at what Marvel did out of necessity in that they didn’t have their A-list characters.
“They didn’t have Spider-Man, they didn’t have the X-Men, and they went down the line and found a – I mean, he’s pretty f**king famous, he’s Iron Man, but he wasn’t then – and they made a really good movie out of him.
“I might put Batman and Superman and everybody else, I mean Wonder Woman is doing fine, aside for a second, go through the vast world and go, ‘That guy’ or ‘That girl,’ and go, ‘Let’s just make a really good movie and not a universe and see what happens.’
“There’s a lot of spaghetti being thrown at the wall.”
The Marvel franchise is extremely successful, with Infinity War recently becoming the fourth highest grossing movie all time. On the other hand, the recent Justice League was the worst performing DC movie at the box office.
