Disney+ is set to play a huge role in the MCU’s Phase Four with Marvel Studios now looking to bring at least 9 original productions to Disney’s streaming platform over the next couple of years. Of course, after Marvel took an involuntary hiatus from movie theaters for nearly two years, whatever ends up being released on streaming becomes even more important to the superhero genre as a whole.
There’s very little time to go until the first batch of MCU miniseries start making their way over to Disney+, with Wandavision premiering on January 21, 2021, only to be followed by The Falcon and the Winter Soldier on March 19 and Loki in May. All of these series got exciting new trailers recently when Disney presented their plans for the MCU.
Yet there’s probably one man who’s just as thrilled as the most diehard fans: Kevin Feige. Feige has spearheaded the MCU ever since Iron Man back in 2008, and in a recent interview with Emmy Magazine, he expressed just what streaming means for the MCU, calling it “100 percent the future and where consumers want to watch things,” a statement very much in tune with the industry’s current paradigm shift.
Feige specifically addressed what it’s like for the MCU to tackle the series format, claiming simply that “An experience like Wandavision is something you can’t get in a movie.” The Marvel producer also noted that while the movie format offers something entirely different, in the end, all those movies are also destined to wind up on a streaming platform. In this case, Disney’s.
So far Marvel Studios and Feige have opted to dish out their first MCU streaming exclusives as miniseries scheduled to last only six episodes, a move that looks to prioritize quantity over quality in their productions, especially considering the large budgets associated with the superhero genre. In a few months, Disney will be able to gauge just how successful these miniseries proved to be with critics and Disney+ subscribers.
For that reason, the fact that Wandavision and Loki are two of the first shows that will test drive this miniseries format is ideal, since, as Feige perfectly described it, those would appear to offer an MCU experience very different from what the blockbuster movies have delivered over the years.
