\nThe MCU hasn’t been doing so hot recently, even if it is still making lots of money, so Marvel<\/strong> is planning on reducing its output going forward.\n<\/p>\n

\nIt’s fair to say that 2023 was a fine year for Marvel – definitely not a good one, maybe even bad actually. Ant-Man 3 certainly underperformed<\/a>, for one, and The Marvels is the lowest-grossing MCU movie<\/a> since its inception. Not a great look for a franchise whose previous output makes up four of the top 10 highest-grossing films of all time, with Avengers: Endgame even holding the number one spot for a while. Now, though, it seems like both Disney and Marvel want to course correct the waning franchise, as in the former’s recent quarterly earnings call, CEO Bob Iger spoke of the companies’ plans for the MCU (via Variety<\/a>).\n<\/p>\n

\nAccording to Iger, Marvel will be reducing its film output to around two to three movies a year, and TV series to only a couple per year, in a move that’s part of Disney’s overall strategy to reduce what it makes to focus on quality, an angle that’s “particularly true with Marvel”. Iger explained that “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.”\n<\/p>\n
