The decline of Marvel Studios at the box office is no secret and the lack of success that television series related to the UCM have had is evident, especially in terms of criticism and reception by the public. Bob Iger, head of DisneyI already assured that from the House of Mouse They were aware of the mistake the company had made to publish too many MCU projects in commercial theaters and the small screen, and now the CEO reaffirms that cuts are coming for the House of Ideas and changes the course of Kevin Feige’s plans by announcing a general reduction in premieres.
Disney paralyzes the mass development of the UCM and only produces two or three Marvel films annually for theaters, also reducing the television series

Mass production of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is over.
With everything, Bob Iger confirms that Disney will only produce a maximum of three Marvel feature films annually and two or no television series. This translates into a significant cut for the UCM taking into account that Kevin Feige always tends to handle several productions at the same time and that the House of Ideas is structured based on a thousand and one future projects, although due to the failure of phases 4 and 5 most of those films and series focused on secondary Marvel characters have been cancelled.
