Disney hits the brakes with Marvel and caps the number of new series and movies per year

The continuous poor results in cinema and Disney+ have led to his words

You don’t have to be very smart to understand that more does not necessarily mean better, but it seems to have taken Disney several years to figure it out. He has passed it with Star Warsalthough it does not seem that they are going to put on the brakes, quite the contrary, and above all it has happened with Marvel and its superheroeswhom he has squeezed to the exhaustion of the public.

It’s something that is actually measurable, and that’s why 2023 was the year that Universal Pictures surpassed Mouse House for the first time since 2015 at the box office. But it is not only in the cinema that Disney and Marvel have been shipwrecked, with The Marvels either Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania reaping unremarkable results, but Disney+, the streaming service, has not been spared either of the crashes. Therefore, it is time to Look for solutionsand one of the first is to produce fewer titles but of higher quality.

2025 will be the beginning of change at Disney

In the latest conference on the results of the second fiscal quarter, Bob Iger, CEO of The Walt Disney Company, confirmed that he is “working hard with the studio to reduce production and focus more on qualitysomething that is particularly true with Marvel.”

2024, yes, it is already closed, with a Deadpool and Wolverine scheduled for July 26 of this year.

“Little by little we are going to reduce the volume and we will probably go to two television series a year instead of four and we will reduce our production of films from four a year to two or three at most», added Iger. “We are working hard on what that path is, we have a couple of good films in 2025 and then we will go for more Avengerswhich we are extremely excited about.”

It remains to be seen what those “couple of good films in the year 2025” are, since both Thunderbolts as The Fantastic Four and Blade They are scheduled for those dates, and according to the words of Bob Iger, there may be some left over.
