The latter also had a group of series called "Adventure into Fear"planned before Marvel Television was shut down in December 2019.

Marvel Studios, the production studio behind the films, began developing their own series in 2018 for the streaming serviceDisney+.Some series are focused on supporting characters from the films while others center on new characters that later appear in films. The Marvel Studios series have much larger budgets than the Marvel Television series and interconnect with the films in a way that the Marvel Television series did not.

Development

edit

Launch of Marvel Television

edit

In June 2010,Marvel Televisionwas launched withJeph Loebas head.[1]The studio began producing television series inspired by theMarvel Cinematic Universe(MCU) film franchise,[2][3]and was made aware ofMarvel Studios' plans to avoid interfering when introducing someone or something to the universe.[4]In August 2015, Marvel Studios was integrated intoWalt Disney Studioswith PresidentKevin Feigereporting to Walt Disney Studios chairmanAlan F. Horninstead ofMarvel EntertainmentCEOIsaac Perlmutter,while Marvel Television remained under Perlmutter's control.[5]This was seen as widening the existing divide between the Marvel film and television divisions, and making it unlikely that the films would acknowledge the series' events and characters.[6]By that point, the only series that had significant involvement from Marvel Studios wasAgent Carter.[7][8]

Transition to Marvel Studios

edit

By September 2018, Marvel Studios was developing several limited series for Disney's new streaming serviceDisney+,to be centered on "second tier" characters from the MCU films who had not and were unlikely to star in their own films; the actors who portrayed the characters in the films were expected to reprise their roles for the series. Feige was taking a "hands-on role" in each series' development,[9]focusing on "continuity of story" with the films and "handling" the returning actors.[10]The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special(2022), atelevision special,was the first project Marvel Studios began planning for Disney+.[11]Loeb said Marvel Television would continue to develop new MCU series, including their own Disney+ series.[12]In March 2019, Feige said the Marvel Studios series would take characters from the films, change them, and see those changes reflected in future films; new characters introduced in the series could also go on to appear in films.[13]By September 2019, many of Marvel Television's existing series were cancelled or ending, and several developing projects did not move forward.Varietyreported that Marvel Television was likely being phased out in favor of the new Marvel Studios series, which had access to well-known MCU characters.[14]The new series also had reported budgets of $100–150 million each, much larger than those of the Marvel Television series.[14][15]Disney gave Marvel Studios an initial mandate to create as much content as it could, as quickly as it could, to bolster the new streaming service.[16]Feige was named Chief Creative Officer of Marvel Entertainment in October 2019. Marvel Television moved under Marvel Studios and its executives began reporting to Feige.[17]Loeb was expected to leave Marvel by the end of the year.[18]

In December, Feige referred to the Marvel Studios series as "a new type of cinematic [story] that we haven't done before", going on to say, "for the first time... the MCU will be on your TV screen at home on Disney+ and interconnect with the movies and go back and forth".[19]The next day, Marvel Television announced that it would complete work on its existing television series but would stop developing new projects. The division was set to shut down, with several executives moving to Marvel Studios to oversee the completion of existing series including executive producerKarim Zreik.Other staff were laid off, while Loeb was set to remain with the company until the handover was completed.[20][21]Zreik left his role as the senior vice president of original programming and production for Marvel Television Studios in June 2020 to become the head of television forPhil Lord and Christopher Miller,whose projects included several Marvel-based series forSony Pictures Televisionthat were intended to connect to the superhero films ofSony's Spider-Man Universe(SSU).[22][23]After the shut down of Marvel Television, ABC executives said they remained committed to featuring Marvel content.[20]In January 2020, ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke said talks were beginning with Feige and Marvel Studios about what a Marvel Studios series on ABC would be, but she noted that Marvel's focus at that time was on the Disney+ series.[24]Television specials from Marvel Studios are marketed as "Marvel Studios Special Presentations".[25][26]

Marvel Studios formed several production partnerships in 2021: in February,Ryan Coogler's production companyProximity Mediawas set to work with the studio on new Disney+ series as part of a deal withWalt Disney Television;[27]that May,WandaVisionhead writerJac Schaeffersigned a three-year deal with Marvel Studios and20th Televisionto develop Disney+ series;[28]and in December,Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings(2021) directorDestin Daniel Crettonsigned a multi-year deal with Marvel Studios to develop television projects for Disney+.[29]In February 2023, Disney CEOBob Igersaid the company was re-evaluating the volume of content it output as a way to cut costs over the next few years.[30][31]Shortly after, when reflecting on the amount of Disney+ content released for the MCU'sPhase Fourin a short time frame, Feige anticipated that Marvel Studios would look to space out the releases of thePhase FiveandSixDisney+ series so each one could "get a chance to shine".[32][31]This shift in philosophy necessitated Marvel Studios to delay some previously announced series to spread out their release dates.[16]In May 2024, Iger said Disney planned to release two Marvel series a year moving forward, down from around four series being released a year, as part of the company's larger strategy to reduce its content output and focus on quality. He said some upcoming series, includingAgatha All Along,were "a vestige" of Disney's previous desire to increase Marvel's content output.[33]Disney+ announced in October 2024 that six Marvel series would be released in 2025, three live-action and three animated,[34]and Feige explained that many of these had been in development for a long time and were ready to be released. He expected the studio to begin releasing three series per year after 2025.[35]

Animation and other banners

edit

In June 2021, Marvel Studios executiveVictoria Alonsosaid the studio's expansion to animation with the seriesWhat If...?was an opportunity to make the MCU more diverse, and the medium of animation allowed Marvel Studios to work with new companies around the world.[36]Marvel Studios was creating an animation division,[37]eventually namedMarvel Studios Animation,[38]to focus on animated content beyondWhat If...?.They were building infrastructure to handle a slate of Disney+ animated series and looking to hire around 300 new staff for production roles.[37][39][40]What If...?directorBryan Andrewssaid each additional animated series would exist on its own terms and explore different elements of the MCU.[41]Head of streamingBrad Winderbaumsaid the studio would only tell stories that they felt needed to be told in animated form,[39]and Marvel Studios was open to working with corporate siblingsPixar AnimationandWalt Disney Animationunder the right circumstances.[42]During Marvel Studios Animation's panel at the 2022 San Diego Comic-Con, the slate of animated series were described as the "Marvel Animated Multiverse".[43]Winderbaum said the MCU'sMultiverse Sagaand its exploration of themultiverseallowed the studio to look at alternate versions of MCU characters and this had become their "guiding light" for animated projects.[44]This includesX-Men '97,a revival and continuation of the 1990s seriesX-Men: The Animated Series,which Winderbaum said has the potential to connect to the MCU through the multiverse.[45]

Marvel Spotlight logo

In November 2023, Marvel Studios announced their "Marvel Spotlight"banner for select series that focus on more grounded, character-driven stories and are less about impacting the larger MCU narrative.[46]Winderbaum explained that the banner was created during post-production onEcho(2024) as a way to indicate to audiences that they did not need to watch any other MCU projects to understand the series.[46][47]The banner was inspired by theMarvel Spotlightanthology comics from 1971 to 1981 and features a new opening logo with a musicalfanfarecomposed byMichael Giacchino.The first series under the banner isEcho,[46]which was also the first Marvel Studios series to be simultaneously released onHulualong with Disney+ when it was released in January 2024.[48]WhenX-Men '97debuted that March, it did so under a new "Marvel Animation"banner (not to be confused with theMarvel Animationsubsidiary).[49]In May, Marvel Studios revealed that its live-action Disney+ series would be released under a new "Marvel Television"banner, separate from the previous company of the same name, starting withAgatha All Alonglater in 2024. Winderbaum explained that Marvel Studios was now using the "Marvel Television", "Marvel Animation", and "Marvel Spotlight" banners to indicate to audiences that they did not have to watch all of the studio's projects to understand the overall story and could choose which storylines and characters under these banners to follow.[50]

Crossovers to feature films

edit

Under Marvel Television

edit

After [running something by Jeph] Loeb we'll run it through New York, Joe Quesada, Dan Buckley, and those guys. [Then we] pitch our stuff to Kevin Feige and his movie group to see if there's something we can tie into, to see if they're okay about us using a character, or a weapon or some other cool thing. Everything is interconnected.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.executive producer Jeffrey Bell in September 2014, on the process of working in with the MCU[96]

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.executive producerJeffrey Bellrevealed at the show's 2014 PaleyFest panel that the producers and writers were able to read the screenplays for upcoming MCU films to know where the universe was headed.[97]He noted that since the films have to be "big" and move "quickly through a lot of huge pieces", it was beneficial to have the television series fill in any "gaps" for them.[98]His fellow executive producerJed Whedonexplained that each Marvel project is intended to stand alone first before there is any interweaving, and noted that the series have to be aware of Marvel Studios' plans so as not to interfere when introducing someone or something to the universe.[4]Bell said this was preferable so that people who do not watch the films could still follow the series, and vice versa.[98]Joss Whedon said this meant the television series got the "leftovers".[99]

In October 2014, Feige said there was potential for characters from the Netflix series to appear in the then-planned crossover filmAvengers: Infinity War(2018).[100]In March 2015, Loeb said Marvel Television would have to earn the ability to have the Netflix series cross over with the films and ABC series, feeling that each series had to be established and defined on its own before crossovers could occur.[101]In September 2015, Feige elaborated on the films referencing the television series, saying it was inevitable but the timing would be difficult because, though the series' production schedules allowed them to be made faster and align with the films, the long development period for the films made it difficult to reference a series' events.[102]

Loeb reiterated in July 2016 the issue of scheduling, questioning how a television series actor could have a major role in a film when they had to spend six or eight months filming the series. He said this would be less of an issue for minor cameo appearances, but Marvel was not interested in cameos and Easter eggs just for the sake of fan service which could detract from the story. He added, "Our feeling is that the connection isn't just whether or not somebody is walking into a movie or walking out of a television show. It's connected in the way that the shows come from the same place, that they are real, that they are grounded."[103]Eric Carroll, producer on the filmSpider-Man: Homecoming(2017), felt it would be fun to mention the Manhattan-based Defenders following the introduction of Spider-Man, who lives inQueens,to the MCU.[104]In January 2017,Vincent D'Onofrio,who portraysWilson Fisk / KingpininDaredevil,said he was open to appearing in the films, but believed it would most likely not happen. D'Onofrio cited Feige's previous reasoning as well as the fact that the films already had difficulty handling the large number of characters they had.[105]In March 2017,Anthony Mackie,who portraysSam Wilson / Falconin the films, felt a crossover between the films and television series "wouldn't work at all" given they are "different universes, different worlds, different companies, different designs" and that "Kevin Feige is very specific about how he wants the Marvel Universe to be seen in the film world".[106]That May, Feige noted that a character appearing in a television series would not necessarily exclude them from appearing in a film, adding that "at some point, there's going to be a crossover. Crossover, repetition, or something."[107]Regarding the potential for the Avengers to learn in the films thatPhil Coulson,who died inThe Avengers(2012), is alive inAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,Loeb stated that this was "certainly something that will get resolved, and it may get resolved in a very surprising way."[108]

Loeb said in July 2017 that Marvel Television had no plans for series to cross over across networks. Specifically, for the similarly themedCloak & Dagger,New Warriors,andRunaways,which all deal with young heroes, Loeb noted, "You'll see things that comment on each other; we try to touch base wherever we can... things that are happening in L.A. [whereRunawaysis set] are not exactly going to be affecting what's happening in New Orleans [whereCloak & Daggeris set]... It's being aware of it and trying to find a way for it to be able to discuss in a way that makes sense. "[83]He added in October that the scheduling of each series factors into why crossovers between them are more difficult to pull off, and that network "feelings" need to be considered. He also spoke on why the television series do not showAvengers Toweras it appears in the films when they depict New York City and stated that Marvel Television wanted to be "less specific" about the television characters' relationships to the tower because that "helps the audience understand that this could be on any street corner" and that the characters could be in an area of the city where you would not be able to see the tower, even though it exists.[109]In June 2018, speaking to how the MCU television series would be affected by the events ofInfinity War,Loeb noted that "For the most part our stories will take place beforeThanosclicked his fingers. A lot of that has to do with production and when we are telling our stories versus when the movies come out. "[110]WhenAvengers: Endgamewas released in April 2019, actorJames D'Arcywas revealed to be reprising his role ofEdwin Jarvisfrom the television seriesAgent Carter.This marked the first time a character introduced in an MCU television series appears in an MCU film.[111]Marvel Studios' executive Brad Winderbaum acknowledged that during the development ofInfinity WarandEndgame,the two companies were in communication with each other and Marvel Television series included easily integrated references to the films, but to try and include references to the television series in those two films "was just too much for us to wrap our minds around at the time".[112]

Speaking about how the Marvel Television series fit within the larger MCU timeline in May 2019, Loeb said, "We don't want to ever do something in our show[s] which contradicts what's happening in the movies. The movies are the lead dog. They're setting the timeline for the MCU and what's going on. Our job is to navigate within that world."[113]TheRoxxon Corporation,which had been featured in theIron Manfilms, is referenced in multiple Marvel Television series. Adam Barnhardt ofComicBook.comcalled it "the go-to Easter egg for most shows involved in the Marvel Television sphere".[92]

Under Marvel Studios

edit

In March 2021, theDarkholdappeared inWandaVisionwith a different design from the one seen inAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.andRunaways.WhileWandaVision'shead writer,Jac Schaeffer,said there were no "big conversations" among the writers regarding its appearance in the Marvel Television series,[114][115]directorMatt Shakmansaid that he believed it was the same one seen in those series despite the new design.[116]The newDarkholdwas designed by theDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness(2022) props team, since it appears and has more screentime in that film.[117][118]The film also showed that multiple copies of theDarkholdexist.[119]

Following the introduction of themultiverseto the MCU in thefirst-season finaleof the Disney+ seriesLoki,Jack Shephard ofTotal Filmsuggested that Marvel Studios announce that the Marvel Television series take place on a different timeline within that multiverse since he felt the studio was not taking the events of those series into account as part of the main timeline.[120]In December 2021, Feige confirmed thatCharlie Coxwould reprise his role asDaredevilin future Marvel Studios productions,[121]and Cox first reprised the role in the filmSpider-Man: No Way Home(2021). Additionally, D'Onofrio first reprised his role as Kingpin in the Disney+ seriesHawkeye(2021),[122]and stated that he was playing the same character fromDaredevil.[123]InhumansstarAnson Mountportrayed a version of his characterBlackagar Boltagon / Black Boltfrom an alternate universe inMultiverse of Madness.[124]Following Cox's appearance onShe-Hulk: Attorney at Law(2022),Marvel.comdescribed the character as "very much the same Matt Murdock audiences have come to know and love".[125]

With the release ofThe Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timelinein October 2023, Feige wrote in itsforewordthat Marvel Studios only considered, at that time, projects developed by them in their first four phases as part of their "Sacred Timeline",but acknowledged the history ofother Marvel filmsandtelevision seriesthat would exist in the larger multiverse given they were "canonical to Marvel";[126]Marvel Television's series were not included as part of the timeline.[127]In January 2024, Winderbaum acknowledged that Marvel Studios had previously been "a little bit cagey" about what was part of their Sacred Timeline, noting how there had been a corporate divide between what Marvel Studios created and what Marvel Television created. He continued that as time has passed, Marvel Studios has begun to see "how well integrated the [Marvel Television] stories are" and personally felt "confident" in saying the NetflixDaredevilseries was part of the Sacred Timeline.[47]Marvel Studios began looking at the Netflix series as a more integral part to the MCU onceDaredevil: Born Againunderwent a creative overhaul in September 2023.[128][129]Footage fromDaredevilwas used in promotional material forEcho.[130]James Whitbrook atGizmodofelt this was "vindication" forDaredevil,but also "empty vindication". He questioned if Marvel Studios' seal of approval was necessary and whether these steps revealed anything new that could not have already been inferred from the appearances of Netflix characters in Marvel Studios projects.[131]Shortly after, to coincide withEcho'srelease, all of the Netflix series were added to theMCU Disney+ timeline,primarily alongside the MCU'sPhase Twocontent.[132][133]When told thatEchohad some slight discrepancies with Kingpin's backstory as shown inDaredevil,D'Onofrio felt that everyone involved moving forward had to be "very savvy" with the characters, explaining that some things would change slightly to keep the stories interesting, and that approaching the characters tonally from what came before was most important.[128]In August 2024, Winderbaum was asked aboutAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'splace in the franchise. He praised the series' connections to the films and acknowledged that Marvel Studios could consider it part of the Multiverse Saga but he was unwilling to confirm that at the time.[134]

Untitled Nova series

edit

In March 2022, a project featuring the characterRichard Rider / Novawas revealed to be in development, with Sabir Pirzada writing.[187]Production Weeklyhad previously included an untitled space-centered series in their report of upcoming projects in development,[196][197]later confirming the untitled series was the Nova project.[198]Marvel Studios was taking a slower developmental timeline for the series by February 2023 amid Disney's larger decision to scale back content output and costs.[31]In July 2024, Feige said the series would feature Rider and anticipated that it would be released three or four years later.[186]

Other

edit

A second season ofYour Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Manis in development, which was originally announced asSpider-Man: Sophomore Year.[43]By November 2022, Coogler's Proximity Media was revealed to be developing several series set in Wakanda.[205]Giancarlo Espositoindicated in May 2024 that he would be featured in an MCU series after being introduced asSeth Voelker / SidewinderinCaptain America: Brave New World(2025).[206][207]

Series approach

edit

Initial approach (2021–late 2023)

edit

Feige described Marvel Studios' approach to their television series in January 2021, explaining that streaming on Disney+ gave Marvel Studios flexibility with the formats for each series. He said some were being developed as one-off miniseries that were intended to lead into feature films,[208][209]though additional seasons could be added to these in the future.[210]Other series were always intended to cover multiple seasons while still being connected to the films,[208]such asLoki.[211]These could have several years between the release of seasons, similar to series likeGame of ThronesandStranger Things.[208]Feige added that each miniseries or season was intended to be around six hours of content, but this would be split in different ways depending on the story being told, such as six hour-long episodes, or nine or ten half-hour episodes.[212][213]Marvel Studios intended to make each of their series an event.[214][215]Many of the first series from the studio were approached with a feature film structure that gave the characters an arc across the series and felt like standalone limited series.[216]Marvel Studios' earliest series were directed by a single person, but later series have multiple directors taking on different numbers of episodes. Feige said this happened due to a combination of logistics, the needs of each story, and the studio's "own internal learnings of making longform television". He said the studio would continue varying the number of directors on future series as needed.[209]Following the release of the Phase Four series, Feige said Marvel Studios was open to experimenting with more episodic series rather than each series always having a larger story; he pointed toDaredevil: Born Againas a particular example where they would try this.[32]

Marvel Studios initially used the term "head writer"instead of the traditionalshowrunnertitle, since they were approaching their television series as long films. They encouraged the series' directors to be in the writers room and part of the creative process, much like their feature films, alongside Feige and the Marvel Studios executives assigned to each series.[217]Junior executives were also assigned to each series, many of whom had been production managers on previous MCU films and were able to act as production leads and liaisons between head writers and Feige and theParliament executives.[218]This approach was confirmed byWandaVisionhead writerJac Schaeffer,[219]The Falcon and the Winter SoldierdirectorKari Skogland,[217]andLokiseason one directorKate Herron.[220]Skogland described the approach as "effective and efficient", feeling that the series are too much for a single showrunner to take on.[217]Each series had multiple writers and a writers room that the head writer led, and they also used "created for television by" credits for the head writers.[219][221]Explaining the decision-making process and hierarchy for Marvel Studios' first three series,Lokiseason one head writerMichael Waldronsaid the head writer of each series would have final say on creative decisions before filming began. At that point, the series shifted to a "more feature centric model" where the director takes on the role that a traditional showrunner might have and has the final say for creative decisions while on set and in post-production.[221]The head writer was still present on set and during post-production for any necessary rewrites.[217][219][221]Additional examples of directors taking more creative control on series from writers includedMohamed DiabwithMoon Knight(after head writerJeremy Slaterquit) andKat CoirowithShe-Hulk: Attorney at Law,thoughShe-Hulkhead writerJessica Gaowas brought back to oversee that series' post-production, "the rare Marvel head writer" to do so. Marvel Studios relied on their executives to shepherd each series and, as with their films, heavily relied on reshoots during post-production to fix any issue with the series. The series were described as being "shot... on the fly";[151]an example of this wasSecret Invasion,which underwent extensive reshoots after several crew members, including head writerKyle Bradstreetand the series' production and development executiveChris Gary,were replaced during production.[151][222]

Overhaul of television operations (late 2023–present)

edit

By October 2023, Marvel Studios was planning to change their approach to television, moving away from their head writer model and instead hiring showrunners for their series. The showrunners would developtelevision pilotsand createseries biblesto have a creative throughline throughout the entire production process. The studio began to come around to this idea after Gao returned to aidShe-Hulk: Attorney at Lawin post-production,[151]and after the critical and commercial failure ofSecret Invasion.[223]Winderbaum said the studio was trying to "marry the Marvel culture with the traditional television culture",[151]and he felt this would help separate their streaming content from their theatrical films.[216]The studio planned to hire dedicated executives to focus on television, and to create more multi-season series so audiences could form relationships with characters rather than the series just being set up for big crossover events.[151]These changes allowed the studio to develop more content than they would actually produce, in line with how a "traditional" studio works,[224]and would only move forward with future series when they were confident in its pilot and bible.[225]Winderbaum said they had started this development approach in 2022.[50]Sam Barsanti fromThe A.V. Clubdiscussed this philosophy change, saying it could be that Marvel Studios was "recognizing its faults and acknowledging that its attempt to turn its Disney+ shows into stretched-out movies was a failure", and he felt it was good for the studio to rethink its approach following recent failures, but he also noted thatWandaVisionandShe-Hulk: Attorney at Lawhad fit the television formula well so it was possible to have that kind of success under the previous approach.[226]/Film's Ben Pearson called the previous approach "seriously flawed" and said "tried-and-true methodologies work for a reason"; Pearson was hopeful that other Hollywood studios would not try to replicate Marvel's initial approach.[227]Agatha All Alongwas the first series to alter the credits of its head writer, Schaeffer, to showrunner.[161][152]Vision Quest,which was announced in May 2024, was the studio's first live-action series pickup in nearly two years and the first to move forward under the studio's new development approach.[154]By October 2024, the studio had adopted a budget-conscious approach to producing their series.Agatha All Alongwas confirmed to be the studio's least expensive series to date, with a similar approach expected for future series such asDaredevil: Born AgainandVision Quest.[228]

Release schedule

The second season ofWhat If...?(2023) was the first Marvel Studios series to be released daily,[229]whileEcho(2024) was the first series released all at once; all previous Marvel Studios series had weekly releases.[230][215]The first two series were released on Fridays, followed by the majority of series since the first season ofLokibeing released on Wednesdays;She-Hulk: Attorney at Lawwas released on Thursdays.
