Although the latest reshuffling of launch dates for MCU motion pictures has been pinned on the latest Hollywood strikes, it additionally conveniently provides Marvel Studios time to decelerate, determine its future, and — maybe most significantly — give audiences a break. Previews for “The Marvels” hitting theaters on the identical day that the “Loki” season finale landed on Disney+ highlights how nonstop the flood of “content material” (a phrase used 28 occasions in Disney’s newest earnings name) has develop into. CEO Bob Iger believes that the barrage of Marvel reveals on Disney+ has “diluted” the model, and the plan going ahead is to “pull again” and decelerate the manufacturing of flicks and TV reveals.
The six-month industry-wide manufacturing shutdown brought on by the AMPTP’s sluggish response to the strikes actually helped with that. There’s now just one Marvel Studios film releasing subsequent 12 months (“Deadpool 3” on July 26, 2024), in comparison with three motion pictures this 12 months. The one different movie already within the can is “Captain America: Courageous New World,” which is rumored to have reshoots arising subsequent 12 months. “Thunderbolts” and “Blade,” at present scheduled for 2025, have but to start filming.
Spacing out new releases could be sufficient to get the MCU again on observe, just by making the films really feel extra just like the occasions they as soon as had been. In any case, it is troublesome to get excited for the return of Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury in “The Marvels” after we simply noticed him combating aliens in “Secret Invasion.” It might even be good if each film wasn’t (as “The Marvels” director Nia DaCosta put it) “a sequel to 5 various things.”
