Something is changing in Marvel Studios. From the epic culmination of the infinity saga with ‘Avengers: Endgame’, the Marvel film universe has lost brightness generating some exhaustion among the publicwhat has resulted in an irregular box office in which successes such as ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ and ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ have had to live with failures such as ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumanía’ and ‘The Marvels’.
This has spoken Bob Iger, Disney CEO, according to Variety, recognizing that The company has had problems in postpandemic times when focusing too much on quantity and not enough on quality: “We all know that, in our eagerness to flood our streaming platform with more content, we turn to all our creative engines, including Marvel, and we ask them to produce much more“.
“We have learned over time that the amount does not necessarily imply quality. And, frankly, we have all admitted that We lost the approach to producing too much“.
Before this panorama, a change of course has been necessary and ‘Thunderbolts*’ has been the first film to take the step. The tape directed by Jake Schreier that closes phase 5 supposes, according to Iger, the “First and best example” of Marvel Studios’s new priority to make better filmseven if this supposes less. “By consolidating a little and that Marvel focuses much more on his films, we believe that the result will be a better quality. I think the first and best example is ‘Thunderbolts*’. I feel very satisfied with that“He said.
‘Thunderbolts*’, starring Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan and Lewis Pullman, focuses on a group of antiheroes and former villains not as popular as Iron-Man and Thor. Although he has had a boot start below most Marvel’s deliveries, His good reception between critics and the public predicts that he will remain stable avoiding, for example, the downturn of his predecessor‘Captain America: Brave New World’, after US premiere.
Future confidence
Disney has long been the dominant studio at the box office. However, in recent years it has failed to achieve its own stratospheric standards, at least in commercial terms. However, Bop Iger He has full confidence in the next 18 months ensuring that his numbers will resemble those of his fantastic 2019when the company won 11,120 million dollars worldwide, the largest result of history for a single study.
“I have a lot of confidence in the next movies“, has declared Iger referring to ‘Lilo and Stitch,’ Zootropolis 2 ‘,’ The Fantastic 4: first steps ‘and’ Avatar: Fire and ash ‘, which will be released in 2025 while The Mandalorian and Grogu’, ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ and ‘Toy Story 5’ will arrive in 2026.”It is a quite interesting alignmentas strong as any other I have seen in a long time“He has settled.
