Disney CEO Bob Iger Reveals MCU Restructuring Plans: Focus on Quality Over Quantity

Disney CEO Bob Iger reveals plans to streamline the MCU, aiming for two Marvel TV series and up to three films annually. The shift focuses on quality over quantity, aligning with Marvel's long-term strategy.

Iger highlights Marvel's upcoming film slate, including anticipated "Avengers" sequels, expressing confidence in the franchise's direction. However, this announcement contradicts Disney's recent release calendar, which lists multiple Marvel films for 2025 and 2026.

On the TV front, Iger acknowledges past efforts to boost output but signals a shift towards select, high-quality series. Notably, Marvel's "Agatha" spinoff from "WandaVision" reflects this approach.

While emphasizing a mix of sequels and originals across Disney's portfolio, Iger underscores the value of known IP like "Toy Story" and "Inside Out 2," which require less marketing investment.

For Marvel, the future balances new ventures like "Thunderbolts" with beloved sequels, striking what Iger views as a prudent equilibrium in content creation.
