Quality instead of quantity.This is what Marvel wants to focus on in the coming years and for many MCU fans this should sound like music to the ears. After all, numerous new films and series after Endgame increasingly triggered a tired shrug of the shoulders instead of passionate enthusiasm.
That's why the studio, led by Kevin Feige, is officially putting the brakes on. Not as many new adventures are expected to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the foreseeable future, but they are finally convincing fans and critics again.
From 2026 there will be (a little) less Marvel
But what does that mean in practice?Marvel boss Kevin Feige has now provided the answer to this question at the D23 in Brazil (viaCollider). According to him, the current plan is as follows, which will come into force from 2026:
I think we are more or less returning to our normal state. In the past we had four new films and four new series every year. Now we will limit ourselves to two films and three TV series. [...]
But 2025 is bursting with new Marvel content
Obviously that won't be the case next year. Too many new projects have been in development for too long and will follow almost quickly over the next 12 months.Would you like a little overview?
