Has Marvel Lost Its Magic?
from The Sam Sanders Show
After almost 20 years of box office dominance, is the Marvel Cinematic Universe starting to fall apart? Sam dives deep into the highs and lows of Marvel with two sharp pop culture minds, Kyle Buchanan (NY Times) and Tracy Brown (LA Times), exploring what’s gone wrong in recent years — and whether Thunderbolts* marks a real reset or just more of the same. They dig into Marvel’s pivot to TV, the fatigue of endless interconnected stories, and what the MCU could learn from newer hits like Sinners. Plus, will video game adaptations become Hollywood’s next big hit? Sign up for Sam’s Newsletter to get behind the scenes stuff from every interview each week.
