Given the backlash to developments within the MCU and the Star Wars franchise, Bob Iger has excellent news. Both universes are going to be extra measured in method. Iger just lately spoke Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom Conference, explaining how Disney intends to transfer ahead. It’s a essential bit of injury management when solely a week prior, it was introduced that two upcoming Star Wars tasks have been shelved. Both Patty Jenkins’ Rogue Squadron and a mysterious, untitled movie from Kevin Feige have been canceled.
Iger stated in clear phrases that this is not an outright halt to upcoming tasks. It’s simply a means to be sure that the franchise is telling the proper tales. He stated: “We’re still developing Star Wars films, but we’re going to make sure when we make one, it’s the right one. So we’re being very careful there.”
He also cited the disappointing box office returns of Solo: A Star Wars Story, which seems to have been released right in the middle of a huge market flood for the shared universe. The film was also one of the most expensive ever made, costing a whopping $275–300 million dollars. It did break even, but after that much bankrolling, $393.2 million isn’t the prettiest number.

Iger also addressed the future approach to the MCU, which is also in the middle of a difficult time. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is also suffering some middling reviews and a less-than-stellar box office profit. In regards to this, Iger said: “I feel we simply have to have a look at what characters and tales we’re mining. If you have a look at the trajectory of Marvel within the subsequent 5 years, there shall be a lot of newness. We’re going to flip again to the Avengers franchise with a entire new set of Avengers, for instance.”
