Overview

• Marvel Studios will produce one to two live-action series and two animated series annually under its new strategy, aiming for a balanced output and improved quality.
• The studio is moving away from casting marquee Avengers actors as series leads, though they may appear in supporting or cameo roles.
• The upcoming Ironheart (June 2025) and Wonder Man (December 2025) series will conclude the old interconnected format, with Daredevil: Born Again season two in March 2026 marking the start of the new approach.
• Marvel's rebranding efforts, including the Marvel Spotlight banner and Special Presentations, aim to provide varied genres and standalone viewing experiences for casual audiences.
• The shift addresses audience fatigue from the extensive Phase 4 interconnected storytelling, aligning with Disney's broader quality-over-quantity focus.
