He MCU reached its zenith with the premiere of ‘Avengers Endgame‘, an ambitious crossover that brought together all the protagonists of more than ten years of films. However, since then both critics and the public have not gone hand in hand with the new phases of the universe devised by Kevin Feige, achieving very different figures between projects, something that is not helped by an evident saturation of the genre in both film and television. Now, the CEO of Disney Bob Iger has reiterated its intention to narrow down the next Marvel Studios releases; This is reported by media such as Variety, putting quality ahead of quantity.

Thus, in order to achieve better results both at the critical and fundraising levels, Bob Iger has reiterated his intention to reduce the number of releases per yearwhich goes through two or three movies in theaters and two Disney+ series per year: “We’re going to slowly decrease the volume and probably go to a few two television series a year instead of the four that had been established and we will reduce our production of movies from maybe four a year to two, or a maximum of three. And we are working hard on what that path is,” Iger assured.
“We have a couple of good movies in 2025 and then we’re going to more Avengers, which we’re extremely excited about. In general, I feel great about the list. It’s something I’ve committed to spending more and more time on. I have great confidence in the team and the intellectual property we are exploiting, including all the sequels we’re doing”, concludes the CEO of Disney.
For now, in 2025 the films will be released in theatersCaptain America: Brave New World‘, ‘Thunderbolts‘ and ‘The Fantastic Four‘, with the project of ‘Blade‘ still in the air. Four more releases are planned for 2026, including the fifth part of ‘Avengers‘, so we will have to wait to see if Bob Iger’s words already affect a calendar that already has several delays due to the latest strikes by scriptwriters and performers. To all this we must add several series in the portfolio that have either already been filmed or are currently in full production, such as the long-awaited ‘Daredevil Born Again‘.
