>>The Marvel Cinematic Universe isn't getting (many) government subsidies.
Maybe not US subsidies, but I'd bet that there are some Canadian film and tax credit logos at the end of most credit reels. When you film/edit/design/create on an international scale, you pick up lots of local tax credits. Also probably UK/Scotland credits too. Heck, the 2005 reboot of DrWho was backed by Canadian government money. (Just check the final credits.)

Those are usually granted by local governments to increase local revenue, not lower it. It's how one jurisdiction can attract more investment relative to another.
