Why Future Marvel TV Shows Will Be Less Connected To MCU Movies
Kevin Feige explains new MCU shows will be more independent of Marvel movies
Feige spoke to the media at the Burbank HQ of Marvel Studios and discussed the plans they have for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. When he ultimately focused on Marvel TV, he disclosed that they would have less connection with the MCU movies going forward. Feige also mentioned that the studio will produce around three movies and often only one live-action TV show every year.
'Making two or three movies a year, some years it will be one, some years it will be three…We'll be down to a single live-action show a year,' he stated. (via Deadline)
The executive clarified that these TV shows will have little overlap with the movies, so that the audience wouldn't need to watch everything to enjoy a given MCU project and understand what is happening in it. Feige used shows such as Netflix's Daredevil and Jessica Jones and ABC's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter as examples, noting how small their connection to the mainstream MCU was.
'I think allowing a TV show to be a TV show is what we're returning to,' Feige said. (via Variety) He also made it clear that the events of Thunderbolts*, where a considerable portion of the New York population was turned into shadowy figures, would not have any impact on Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, which will also be set in the Big Apple.
Earlier in the conversation, Feige noted that the issues that Marvel Studios have encountered in recent years were due to an overabundance of MCU projects, and not because the audience was experiencing superhero fatigue. 'For the first time ever, quantity trumped quality,' Feige admitted, referring to the post-Endgame era of the MCU.

With season two of the award-winning reimagining of The Addams Family starring Jenna Ortega coming this August, there's now even more cause for celebration as Netflix has renewed for a third season. The streamer confirmed the news on its social media this week, sharing a post of Wednesday holding a spooky crystal ball with the number three on it, along with the tagline 'bad things come in threes'. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Wednesday Netflix (@wednesdaynetflix) The caption added: 'Season 2 awakens in two weeks. Season 3 is the next omen, already in motion, already inevitable.' And not only has Wednesday been confirmed for season three, but it looks like a spinoff series is in the early stages of discussions.

We're beyond thrilled she'll be returning to stalk the halls of Nevermore in Season 3.

In a statement to Netflix's Tudum, Alfred did give one hint that we will be 'seeing more Addams Family members and learning more family secrets in Season 3'.

THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS In-Universe Time Magazine Covers Spotlight Marvel's First Family — GeekTyrant
Marvel Studios is going all-in with its marketing for The Fantastic Four: First Steps , and this it a pretty cool marketing campaign, as the studio has dropped a series of in-universe magazine covers featuring Marvel's First Family gracing the front pages of iconic publications like Time, People, and Men's Health, and the attention to detail is next level. The retro-futuristic aesthetic perfectly fits the film's 1960s-inspired tone, and each cover highlights a different side of the team. Time spotlights Reed Richards and Sue Storm in their dual roles as scientists and heroes, while Johnny Storm leans into his celebrity persona (complete with ads for his 'Hot' aftershave), and Ben Grimm stands tall as the reluctant star everyone can't stop talking about. But the campaign isn't just about style, it's sprinkled with clever Easter eggs. Case in point: People magazine's feature on H.E.R.B.I.E. hides a subtle nod to none other than Doctor Doom with 'Doom Detection'. You can see screen shots of that below. I also included information below all the magazine covers that has been making the rounds online about Doctor Doom, but if true, it's spoiler territory. So, read at your own risk. For now, these magazine covers give fans a fun peek into how Marvel is treating the Fantastic Four as celebrities within their own universe. It's a smart way to build hype while staying true to the spirit of the comics. What do you think of Marvel's in-universe marketing?
