How Does Marvel Determine What Heroes Hit The Big Screen

Marvel Studios has hit it out of the park lately when it comes to their newest Disney+ Original series as well as blockbuster movies. But how do they determine which heroes get to show up where? In a recent interview Kevin Feige explains how they go through this process. See what Feige told Rotten Tomatoes and what we found on ComicBook.com

“A lot of choosing what characters – what stories – become a feature film first [or] what becomes a Disney+ series… It’s still frankly early days for that. So we’re still having those discussions. What you see now in Phase 4 is still the culmination of work of five or six years – or in the chase of Shang-Chi ten or fifteen years in the past. So we have been working towards a Shang-Chi movie for many, many years; towards a Black Widow movie (as everybody knows) for many, many, years. So those were always set on as films of what we wanted them to be.”

It was clear that Disney+ changed how Marvel Studios would move forward. They could now produce high budget TV shows that would go to a streaming service.

“When Bob Iger told us about Disney+ and about his desire for us to produce shows for Disney+, it gave us a new avenue, frankly, to do something we hadn’t been considering before, which was: doing a deep-dive on characters who deserve a deep dive but hadn’t had the chance yet.”

It seems like Feige has a great sense for what heroes should head to Disney+ and which (like Black Widow) should hit the big screen. Either way it seems like Marvel Studios is knocking these superhero stories out of the park.

I started introducing my love for Disney early to my family with a Disney honeymoon and then trips when our youngest of 18 months. Since then, our family has been to Walt Disney World over five times and we continue to plan and dream for the next… More »
