Please fix up link for Erik Stevens to go to Erik_Killmonger page instead of blank entry in Characters_of_the_Marvel_Cinematic_Universe page. That way preview would not show "There was an issue displaying this preview"

I suggest keeping the Erik Stevens text. 108.7.1.21 (talk) 02:43, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Erik Stevens (Marvel Cinematic Universe) does not redirect to a blank section, it redirects to the section on Characters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: M–Z about the character. It does not link to the article about the comics character per the reasons outlined at WP:MCULINKS. InfiniteNexus (talk) 05:39, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Listed as "Ninth" Highest Grossing Film

I noticed that Black Panther is currently listed as the ninth highest grossing film of all time, and when I went to edit it I saw that a previous user added a request that it not be changed as this was its "peak" position. The film is now the 15th highest grossing. Why would we not change the article to reflect this, especially in the top three paragraphs? Flubberpuff (talk) 20:35, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Context matters. It literally says becoming...the ninth-highest-grossing film of all time -- ie. peaking at ninth. What happened afterwards isn't as notable. DonQuixote (talk) 22:21, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, I just think it looks silly when the Wikipedia page it links to itself has it listed as 15th Flubberpuff (talk) 05:44, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ike and Kevin feud. Chadwick's cancer

1. Many movie news outlets have reported on Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter not wanting to make BP movie, thinking it'd flop, and how much Kevin Feige struggled until BP was greenlit. No info on that in the article 2. Chadwick was already diagnosed with cancer when production on this film began, but it also isn't in the article. Can someone find trustworthy webpages and add aforementioned info into the article? Gevorg89 (talk) 20:21, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
