MORRIS Bradley Cooper is a genius! He is very good as Rocket and he never has to deal with, oh, that’s the dude from the “Guardians of the Galaxy” movies. He still gets to be his charismatic, interesting, clever self in these movies. And he still gets to be Bradley Cooper, movie star.

The True Legacy of ‘Avengers’

DARGIS This is the Disney-fication of the movie industry. Marvel, with Pixar and Lucasfilm, has helped Disney start to swallow the rest of the industry. 2008, the first “Iron Man” movie opens, Disney has 10.5 percent of the domestic box office. It’s at 26 percent last year. They are just eating everything. Disney conquered childhood and has now managed to conquer adulthood.

SCOTT The one wild card, maybe, in this deck, is popular taste. In spite of all of the best efforts of movie studios and Walt Disney and other corporations, they’ve never quite been able to control it or predict it. It’s not inconceivable that at some point, too soon for the interests of Disney and Marvel, people will start getting interested in something else.

BUCHANAN I think this is a genre that is here to stay, in part because there are so many other routes to go within the superhero framework — it’s a pretty flexible genre. Whether you’re O.K. with that is up to personal preference, but when Marvel hires a director like Chloé Zhao, who made the wonderful “The Rider,” for “The Eternals,” I have hopes that she can do something fascinating with it.

MORRIS It’s been interesting to watch superhero comic-book movies, as a genre, evolve in terms of who all it brought into its world. In 20 years, these movies have managed to do more interesting stuff along those lines than 20 years of any other genre, I would say. They have managed to at least open to other executives the possibilities of what it would mean to have an entirely black-oriented movie — and I don’t mean just black people in it, but blackness as the core theme of the movie itself. Setting aside that gratuitous shot of those women in “Endgame,” nobody financially seems to have a problem with women doing two hours of superhero work in a movie.
