Bhabylon Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 From Deadline Quote Disney CEO Bob Iger says the company still is being “very careful” with developing Star Wars feature films in the wake of Solo‘s soft box office, while Marvel is also getting a rethink in terms of how many sequels characters get. In an appearance at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom Conference, Iger was asked an open-ended question about the health of tentpole brands Lucasfilm, Marvel and Pixar, along with the main Disney brand. The exec, who returned to the corner office in November, built his reputation on engineering the acquisitions of those outside companies during his previous stint as CEO. “I think a lot of all of them — they’re all my babies, in a way,” the exec mused. With Marvel, he said, “there are 7,000 characters, there are a lot more stories to tell. What we have to look at at Marvel is not necessarily the volume of Marvel stories we’re telling but how many times we go back to the well on certain characters. Sequels typically work well for us. Do you need a third and a fourth, for instance, or is it time to turn to other characters?” Iger didn’t get specific, but his comments came less than three weeks after the release of Marvel Cinematic Universe entry Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. The third Ant-Man film has grossed more than $450 million globally but drew tepid response from critics and posted a 69% second-weekend drop in the U.S., the steepest by any MCU title to date. The McDonalds of Hollywood is a bit shook after the failure that was Ant Man 3. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFC Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Well they'd better prepare themselves for the nuclear failure that will be the Captain Marvel sequel Spoiler I'm a huge fan and I'm really looking forward to the movie (before the two rabid MCU stans here come for me) Edited March 10, 2023 by HotFriedChicken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosque Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Haven't watched any of their movies or shows since Endgame It doesn't help that Avatar 2 CGI looked 70 years more advanced than Marvel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny789 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I don’t know what they were thinking putting so much money into an Ant Man film it’s always been one of the least successful of the franchise. Kang is only a draw for comic book fans I know they were thinking he would make the film a success . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoomer Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 They’re finished. As a fan of marvel, I can say a big portion of their fanbase aren’t happy with the TV shows and new superhero’s introduced after ‘Infinity War’. I stopped watching their movies since Spider-Man 3 (2021), they ****** up the new phase so bad and for so long and I can’t see how they could possibly redeem themselves.

DoctorIce Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 The Quantumania writer handling the next Avengers movie, the upcoming 'The Marvels' movie testing horrendously, Disney+ spin-offs bombing left and right.

JustLikeHoney Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Ant-Man was never a real money maker. It needs to be a 100M to 130M budget movie. For it to see any profit. It was like 200M budget t probably more. The last Thor was 250M budget and it was God awful. And it brought in 761M, a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
