Captain America: Brave New World suffered a box office drop of 68 per cent, as per reports.

Liefeld had earlier shared that he would no longer be associating with Marvel after the creative wasn't invited to Disney's after-party at Deadpool and Wolverine's premiere. He added that the decision was intended to “embarrass, diminish and defeat me.” Liefeld also had other issues with the studio and said that he felt that he didn't receive the respect he deserved from Feige.
Marvel Studios is yet to comment on the same.
Meanwhile, Captain America: Brave New World has earned 289.4 million dollars worldwide to date, which starred Anthony Mackie in the lead, who took over from Chris Evans.
