  • Summary

  • The article discusses Disney CEO Bob Iger's recent comments about Marvel Studios' new strategy, highlighting "Thunderbolts" as a key example.

    Essentially, Iger acknowledged that Marvel had prioritized quantity over quality in recent years, leading to a dilution of focus and some underperforming projects. The new strategy involves:

    1. Reducing output: Making fewer films and series.
    2. Focusing on quality: Ensuring each project is strong.
    3. Leaning into established franchises and sequels: Relying on successful, popular characters and storylines.
    4. "Thunderbolts" as an exemplar: Iger cited "Thunderbolts" as a way to leverage existing, popular characters (like Bucky Barnes, Yelena Belova) in a new team-up dynamic. It's not a direct sequel to a single hero's film but uses familiar faces, fitting the strategy of working with established IP rather than necessarily launching entirely new, unknown characters.
