The 2003 R-rated Marvel movie The Punisher, starring Thomas Jane and John Travolta, did not perform as well as Lionsgate was hoping. Though it had a decent cast and a decent story, it still ended up becoming a box office flop.

The 1986 box office flop Howard the Duck has gone on to become one of the most infamous Marvel movies ever. Its puppets and costumes in the movie looked cheap, and the movie's creepily themed plot didn't work either. .

It was quite a stretch calling the first Ghost Rider movie a success, which earned $228 million on its $110 million budget. But Ghost Rider still managed to earn itself a sequel, which proved itself to be even more of a flop.

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
