Star Wars: Skeleton Crewseems to have escaped the notorious curse that has plagued the franchise, causing shows likeThe Acolyteto tank right out of the gate.Skeleton Crewhas received a lot of praise for its story, which has seemingly taken the franchise out of the ditch that it is in.
The last episode of the show, and the best-rated yet, titledYou Have A Lot to Learn About Pirates, bodes well for another Disney property. While Star Wars seems to be steadily healing behind the scenes, there is another brand under Disney that needs some oomph injected back into its box office numbers and critical acclaim.
Jake Schreier might just deliver the MCU’s next great film
It has been common knowledge for a while thatDeadpool & Wolverinewas a win that Marvel needed for quite some time. After the disastrous 2023, Marvel took a step back in 2024, keeping their releases minimal.Deadpool & Wolverinemanaged to create a great year for Marvel but was not necessarily the solution to all their issues.

Given the bad run that Marvel had, fans are going to require more than just one film to rebuild their trust in the brand, which is only going to come ifBrave New World,Thunderbolts*, andThe Fantastic Fourall manage to please them and critics alike.
While things seem a little grim forCaptain America: Brave New World, the fact that Jake Schreier is directingThunderbolts*might be something that relieves fans, given his episode being the best-rated (sitting at an 8.2 onIMDb). However, this might not necessarily be a cause for joy for Marvel fans.
Jake Schreier has a mixed record when it comes to the films that he has made
Jake Schreier has directed films likeRobot & Frank, which has resulted in a lot of critical acclaim for the director. But his filmPaper Townswas also very heavily criticized.Thunderbolts*would mark the third feature-length film that he has come onto as director, which might not be something that gets Marvel fans very excited.
Thunderbolts* Might Be on the Right Track by Keeping Sentry Actor Lewis Pullman in the Dark: ‘I genuinely, I don’t know’
Thunderbolts*were also ordered to go through some reshoots, which has always been billed to the audience as standard practice. However, there is a precedent for reshot films not having the best track record. Jake Schreier might deliver something that the MCU desperately needs, or fail to impress fans or critics, which would just be another nail in the MCU’s coffin.
Thunderbolts* hits theatres on June 04, 2025.
