MARVEL WILL RELEASE NO MORE THAN THREE MOVIES AND TWO SHOWS PER YEAR, BOB IGER SAYS

Disney CEO Bob Iger says the company is shrinking the MCU with a new mission to drop the number of Marvel TV series to two a year and the film output to no more than three movies per year.

Iger said this is part of Disney's overall strategy to reduce output and focus on quality, a strategy "that's particularly true with Marvel."

On the TV side, Iger says that a portion of the upcoming series set for release are "a vestige of basically a desire in the past to increase volume."

"We're 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 a maximum of three. And we're working hard on what that path is."

Iger says Marvel has "a couple of good films in '25 and then we're heading to more Avengers which we're extremely excited about," adding: "Overall, I feel great about the slate. It's something, as you know, that I've committed to spending more and more time on. The team is one that I have tremendous confidence in and the IP that we're mining, including all the sequels that we're doing, is second to none."
