‘Avengers: Age of Ultron' was allegedly a failure to Disney.
This Marvel Studios drama is getting pretty out of hand. The latest rumor claims that Avengers: Age of Ultron was considered a “failure” by Disney, and that is the reason why Marvel Studios was taken over by the Mickey Mouse corporation, according to Bleeding Cool.
According to this rumor, Avengers: Age of Ultron made less money than expected and didn't get as many positive reviews, therefore, Disney felt the need to wipe the slate clean and start again.
Because, although the film made a lot of money and got okay reviews, it didn't make enough money. Or get as good reviews as the first. People, basically, didn't go back for seconds.
And as a result, at Disney, it has been dubbed a failure. Which enabled Kevin Feige to use it leverage to push out Isaac Perlmutter, without whom there wouldn't even be a Marvel Studios. And forced the disbanding of the Marvel Creative Committee a few months ago.
Since the initial leak of Marvel Studios take over by Disney, there has been several of stories leaked about Isaac Perlmutter and the failures of the Marvel Creative Committee. As Bleeding Cool points out, is this being orchestrated to assassinate the characters of the Marvel Studios creative team?

The website's consensus reads, “Exuberant and eye-popping, Avengers: Age of Ultron serves as an overstuffed but mostly satisfying sequel, reuniting its predecessor's unwieldy cast with a few new additions and a worthy foe.”
