Kevin Feige, the head of Marvel Studios, delved into the company's plans for movies and TV shows during a recent interaction with a select group of journalists. In recent years, the studio has encountered a variety of issues with its projects. Feige offered details on how they intend to tackle them during the above-mentioned conversation with the media.
Kevin Feige explains new MCU shows will be more independent of Marvel movies
Feige spoke to the media at the Burbank HQ of Marvel Studios and discussed the plans they have for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. When he ultimately focused on Marvel TV, he disclosed that they would have less connection with the MCU movies going forward. Feige also mentioned that the studio will produce around three movies and often only one live-action TV show every year.
'Making two or three movies a year, some years it will be one, some years it will be three…We'll be down to a single live-action show a year,' he stated. (via Deadline)
The executive clarified that these TV shows will have little overlap with the movies, so that the audience wouldn't need to watch everything to enjoy a given MCU project and understand what is happening in it. Feige used shows such as Netflix's Daredevil and Jessica Jones and ABC's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter as examples, noting how small their connection to the mainstream MCU was.
'I think allowing a TV show to be a TV show is what we're returning to,' Feige said. (via Variety) He also made it clear that the events of Thunderbolts*, where a considerable portion of the New York population was turned into shadowy figures, would not have any impact on Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, which will also be set in the Big Apple.
Earlier in the conversation, Feige noted that the issues that Marvel Studios have encountered in recent years were due to an overabundance of MCU projects, and not because the audience was experiencing superhero fatigue. 'For the first time ever, quantity trumped quality,' Feige admitted, referring to the post-Endgame era of the MCU.
