Bob Iger Details “Reduced” Marvel Output: “At Most” Three Films Per Year, Two Series
Bob Iger Details “Reduced” Marvel Output: “At Most” Three Films Per Year, Two Series
May 20, 2024 3:20 AM

Disney is planning to reevaluate its slate of films and TV shows from Marvel Studios, with the company set to reduce its output from the comic book franchise studio.

On Disneys fiscal Q2 earnings call, Disney CEO Bob Iger told analysts that the company is finally moving away from a vestige, basically a desire in the past to increase volume.

Ive been working hard with the studio to reduce output and focus more on quality, thats particularly true with Marvel, he added. What will that mean for Marvels upcoming films and TV shows? This years slate, highlighted by Deadpool Wolverine, wont be impacted, but it will be felt in future years.

Were slowly going to decrease volume and go to probably about two TV series a year instead of what had become four, and reduce our film output from maybe four a year to two or at the maximum three, Iger added. And were working hard on what that path is, weve got a couple of good films in 25 and then were heading to more Avengers, which were extremely excited about. [Avengers: The Kang Dynasty is listed for 2026]

Overall I feel great about the slate, its something that Ive committed to spending more and more time on, the team is one that I have tremendous confidence in and the IP that were mining, including all the sequels that were doing is second to none, he continued.

The future of Marvel has been a hot-button topic for Disney, with the last few films underperforming. By reducing both film and TV output, Iger is suggesting that the company plans to make the films more of an event, rather than a quarterly obligation.
