Kevin Feige Admits Marvel Made Too Much Content Too Fast, Here’s What to Expect in the Future

by

Kevin Feige, head honcho at Marvel Studios, has shared his thoughts on the possibility that they may have overstepped their boundaries following the release of Avengers: Endgame.

During a conversation with journalists in Los Angeles, Feige disclosed that Marvel produced approximately 127 hours of films and series within a span of six years – a figure significantly greater than what they achieved over the preceding twelve years. This rapid increase appears to have presented certain challenges.

Feige spoke candidly, stating, “It’s excessive. For the first time, volume surpassed quality.” The rapid tempo, particularly given the numerous shows on Disney+, strained Marvel’s creative teams beyond their limits.

Feige expressed that we’ve often had more story ideas than we could realistically develop due to our initial plan not to release a movie every month. However, unexpectedly, there’s now a demand for more productions. This rush to deliver content led to some projects not receiving the attention and time they deserved.

As a movie enthusiast, I must admit that some Marvel productions haven’t quite hit the mark as anticipated. Even critically acclaimed films like “Thunderbolts”* have faced underperformance at the box office, and it seems viewers are losing interest in certain TV series. In his own words, Kevin Feige acknowledged this issue, stating, “Some audiences found themselves puzzled, expressing thoughts such as, ‘It seemed I needed to have watched these other shows to fully grasp who this character is.'” Essentially, with an overabundance of narratives unfolding concurrently, it’s become challenging for fans to keep up.

Due to recent developments, Marvel is planning to scale back its production. Kevin Feige, the studio’s head, has confirmed that they will limit themselves to releasing no more than three movies per year. Additionally, the number of live-action television shows will also decrease. Instead of linking TV and movie narratives closely, many series will be standalone productions. Feige stated, “We are going back to allowing a TV show to simply exist as its own entity.

Despite the climactic finale of the film Thunderbolts taking place in New York City, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the series Daredevil: Born Again will be affected by these events, as they are separate entities, albeit set within the same urban landscape.

Looking to the future, Feige expressed some optimism about getting back on course. He confirmed that Avengers: Secret Wars, scheduled for 2027, would conclude the ongoing Multiverse Saga and serve as a soft reset. This implies Marvel will revitalize its narratives and potentially introduce fresh characters and concepts.

Essentially, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has seen a decline in its past performance. Ticket sales have dropped, and the acknowledgment by Feige suggests that the studio realizes they may have rushed things and are now striving for improved narratives rather than an increased quantity of them. In the time ahead, fans might notice a slower production pace but hopefully enjoy more robust and coherent movies and series.
