One of the primary large blockbusters of 2023 is about to be launched this Friday, and that’s, after all, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
Ahead of the discharge, Marvel Studio’s president and chief artistic officer, Kevin Feige, sat down for an interview with EW to advertise the movie — which additionally occurs to be the primary film of Phase Five of the MCU.
Of course, Phase Four was additionally (as was identified within the interview) a “transitional one,” because it not solely noticed stars like Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans depart the franchise, however it additionally marked the start of the MCU transferring into TV sequence on Disney+ that straight tie into future and present storyline — in addition to introducing new characters (like Jonathan Majors as a variant of Kang the Conqueror in Loki).
And whereas speaking concerning the transfer to TV, Kevin stated he “was very pleased with everything that we did.” In specific, he pointed at being very pleased with the Ms. Marvel TV sequence and the way the character of Kamala Khan steals the upcoming The Marvels film. “It makes me excited that people will, I hope, see that movie and then go back and revisit those shows on Disney+,” he stated.
But when requested if he has seen the SNL skit “The Big Hollywood Quiz” wherein they make enjoyable of there being so many TV exhibits, Kevin responded that he had, including, “I do think one of the powerful aspects of being at Marvel Studios is having these films and shows hit the zeitgeist. It is harder to hit the zeitgeist when there’s so much product out there — and so much ‘content,’ as they say, which is a word that I hate.”
Kevin admitted that if Marvel Studios actually desires their exhibits to face out, they should house them out extra “so they can each get a chance to shine,” and we’ll begin to see that shift as we get additional into Phase Five and into Phase Six.
When requested if that meant simply spacing them out extra or placing out fewer exhibits a 12 months, he responded, “Both, I think.”
So there you might have it, MCU followers, we’re getting fewer TV exhibits sooner or later. On the one hand, it makes me unhappy to know we’ll be getting fewer exhibits and having them air additional aside. But then again, there actually is soooo a lot TV proper now that I can use one fewer factor to have to observe as a result of it’s appointment TV!
