    It’s no secret that since the 2019 Avengers: Endgame, the company was asked to scale up in an unprecedented way to feed its fledgling streaming service, Disney+

    There’s the problem

    “Some of our studios lost a little focus. So the first step that we’ve taken is that we’ve reduced volume,” Iger said on a Feb. 7 earnings call.

    And there’s a big part of the solution. Another is giving actual creatives more control over the final product, which they also alluded to.

    My hope is that with scaled back Marvel production, they can direct some of that money towards new, original IP.
