Avengers: Endgame has earned $2.189 billion through May 5, passing Avengers: Infinity War, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and Titanic to become the No.2 film of all time when it comes to worldwide gross earnings. It trails only Avatar’s $2.788 billion, but Avengers: Endgame has plenty of time left in theaters.
That success, of course, is the product of Marvel’s 11-year, 22-film franchise, which began back in 2008 with Iron Man, and has steadily built out its characters and story since. Marvel’s not done with the franchise yet: its fourth Phase will kick off after Spider-man: Far From Home hits theaters this summer, with at least 20 films in development for the next decade.
