Will Movie Characters Appear on Disney+? Marvel TV Boss Answers
Marvel Television boss Brad Winderbaum sheds light on Disney+’s approach to storytelling and whether Avengers will still make appearances. Wonder Man details also uncovered by The Hollywood Reporter.
Marvel Studios made a splash in streaming with hits like WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, serving as sequels to Avengers: Endgame. These series changed the game for their characters and set up new stories, forcing moviegoers to tune into Disney+ for the full picture.
As more series streamed in, it got tough to keep up, and the quality began slipping. Daredevil: Born Again emerged as a turning point, creatively shaping Marvel Studios’ TV approach.
Plans now focus on creating traditional multi-season series instead of endless titles on A-list characters. Wonder Man and Ironheart were in the works before this shift, with new info about Wonder Man surfacing from The Hollywood Reporter.
Marvel Television’s Brad Winderbaum revealed at Disney Upfronts that Wonder Man consists of 8 episodes lasting 30 minutes each. Marvel Studios takes a cautious approach to possible second seasons, based on how well they’re received.
Winderbaum mentioned that creating shows with big names made second seasons tricky due to smaller profit margins. Going forward, Marvel series may include Avengers cameos, even if they’re not the main characters.
Although familiar heroes may show up in future shows, they won’t be at the forefront if they’re part of movie plans. This keeps connections intact without forcing viewers to stay tuned.
We’ll have to wait and see what the future holds for Marvel series. As of now, Daredevil: Born Again remains the only confirmed show for the next couple of years. Stay tuned for updates as we get them.
