He disney cutout It is being epic and it does not only affect “small series” on its streaming platform. Very large franchises such as Star Wars or Marvel are also being affected by the change of course of the factory and to show the recent statements of its CEO, bob igerswho ensures that there will be fewer Star Wars and Marvel productions in the coming years.
Hard times for Disney
The company of the mouse does not hide (nor can it): its numbers are not adding up well and it needs to cut back where it can. As we told you just a few days ago, the plan is to produce less and also be more content that is being offered on its platform Disney+an objective that has already become visible with the disappearance of several titles in the catalogue.
Among the disappearances we have had the most talked about Willow, which was given a lot of hype when it was released, or Crater, a film that has only lasted a month and a half on the bill.
With all this, the firm led by Bob Igers intends to save hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars, a pruning that, of course, does not end here, also affecting franchises that some believed untouchable such as Star Wars wave of Marvel.
Less Star Wars and Marvel content for the future
The CEO of the firm has been in charge of confirming the reality. We had already heard that Marvel productions could be reduced because we were experiencing significant content saturation, but now it is Igers himself who is commenting on it and not so much because of the excess of product for the public as because of the need to Reduce costs with that.
During a recent interview, the manager thus confirmed again that the company «will spend less on what they do and make less» projects like Star Wars. Faced with this statement, he was asked directly if they are therefore willing to take a step back on the Marvel and Star Wars projects, to which Iger simply replied “yes.”
That does not mean that we will not see anything of the galactic universe. We have indeed confirmed three movies to be released in 2026 and 2027 and we look forward to seeing the series of Ahsoka and the second part of the successful Andor this year. They are also in project acolyte by 2024 and Skeleton Crew (which could also fall this year), although who knows if they could be delayed to slow down as they want to do.
As to Marvel, we have already witnessed some suspicious movements such as the delay of The Marvels (from July to November) and we still don’t know anything about the series Threw out and the second season of Loki that they had to see the light this summer – although it is said that in the case of the God of Deceit, it is due to all the mess with Jonathan Majors.
We are not going to deny it: a little air will not hurt in the meantime continuous premiere, so there is no harm that does not come for good.
