When the Marvel Cinematic Universe first started, many of its early films came out in May. Following the success of the first Iron Man, Iron Man 2 was released in May 2010, then Thor in May 2011, and The Avengers in May 2012. After The Avengers earned $1.5 billion with its release in the spring, Marvel began consistently releasing its biggest movies during this time, including Iron Man 3, Captain America: Civil War, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

Glen Powell isn’t yet considered among the greatest actors, but he’s definitely gaining traction with his recent successes.

I was so excited to finally see the Michael Jackson biopic, Michael, and it definitely didn’t disappoint! It opened huge, making $97.2 million domestically – way more than any other movie about a musician ever has at the start. I know there’s been some talk about the film not addressing the serious allegations against Michael, but people seem to be sticking with it. It only dropped about 44% in its second weekend, which is a really good sign. It’s amazing to see Jaafar Jackson, Michael’s nephew, portray him so well!

He’s also a successful businessman, often called “The Boss” because of his smart investments. He’s involved in many profitable companies, including the Wingstop restaurant chain.
