Technically we’re not get ANY MCU films in 2024. With all the talk of “superhero fatigue” I’m curious how this will play out.
Currently Deadpool 3 is the only MCU film scheduled for 2024. Deadpool 1 & 2 are not set in the MCU, we can assume Deadpool 3 will bring Deadpool into the MCU.
Outside of the MCU, Sony will bring us Madam Web, Kraven the Hunter & Venom 3.
Also, Sony will bring us the 3rd installment of the animated Spider-Man Spiderverse films.
For completeness sake, DC only has a Joker sequel scheduled.
I fully expect Deadpool 3 to be delayed (to late 2024).
I think no one will talk about Madam Web.
I think no one will talk about Kraven.
I fully expect Venom 3 to be delayed (to 2025).
I hope Spiderverse isn’t delayed any further, but I suspect it will be.
Which is to say, we’re getting a year off, how do folks think this will affect “superhero fatigue”, or perhaps more importantly do you think it will give films time to actually be good films?
There’s no way the 3rd spiderverse movie comes out next year
I know, but it’s the one I’m the most excited for, so I hope.
That being said the Spiderverse films, moreso than any other superhero film, are artistic and beautiful. You should not rush that. I understand any delays.
You can take everything from us, but you can’t take our hope!
Super hero fatigue isn’t real, even the first Captain Marvel made over $800 million. The sad truth is that the MCU has dropped in quality since Endgame and everyone knows it. They’re flailing right now, trying to figure out what they want to do with the MCU while still making movies instead of doing all that work beforehand.
I think we’ll see Deadpool 3 get close to the old performance numbers because it has a good history already. I agree the Sony movies will be irrelevant to the zeitgeist unless they can pull a Morbius but even that didn’t help last time.
There’s no way Spider-Verse 3 happens until 2025 at he earliest, not after the strikes this year.
I’m hoping this next year gives the MCU the time it needs to figure out where it wants to go in its next saga. I think most fans really enjoyed seeing an overarching story play out across the movies as a reward for their “investment”, I know I did. The quality needs to improve as well; no more introducing new characters for the sake of it, having real stakes that matter, and better writing across the board. I really want the MCU to be good again.
That is kind of what the fatigue is though, I don’t want to watch the same boring bullshit with slightly different visuals that look like shite.
8 want consequences and practical effects. Honestly have knock on effects of what has happened other than the blip. How has the universe changed for ordinary people given they have incredible tech and supervillains. I don’t want a whole show to explore it I just want them to build better worlds, and make it feel like a shared universe that is progressing as one entity. Something huuuuge happens to Spider-Man but the rest of the heros live completely separate lives where none of it matters…boring.
I agree with others that I don’t think superhero fatigue is real. Through this whole bad quality slog, I’ve still watched every MCU movie…once.
I’ve kept hoping for them to stop and reassess the production problems the pandemic caused, and I was shocked they just kept pushing out all those half-assed projects even though they clearly knew the problems.
I really had high hopes for The Marvels. It had the look, it had all the pieces in place to finally be the return to greatness, and it just wasn’t.
So I really hope this break is the full reassessment and readjustment of how they want to handle diversifying creative styles with new directors and things like The Eternals while still maintaining the level of story and character engagement we got through the Infinity Saga.
I still completely believe they have it in them to do something else great. They just need to stop and make an actual plan before steamrolling ahead. It’s not all just gonna take care of itself and I hope they know that now.
I still enjoyed The Marvels but I agree with you completely. They needed to either drop a story line or not edit it down to 1 hour 45 min, 2 1/2 hours might have given the the time to fully develop everything.
The villain was the weakest part, do whatever they could have done to improve that, just give her a little more to do clearer motivation.
Yes, it was too short! Important plot moments had no room to breathe. It got confusing a couple of times, and the really good emotional moments went by too fast.
That’s the kind of decision making that just mystifies me. I have no idea how the studio can screen that movie and think pushing it out with such a short runtime was a successful strategy.
Who are the Madame Web and Kraven movies even for? Who wants to watch or care at all about these movies?
They are for Sony who has control of the IP and want MCU level money. Spoiler, it ain’t gonna happen.
Madame Web looks like a script for a different movie entirely that they are just going to twist until it fits something vaguely Madame Webby.
Kraven could be interesting. Certainly better than Morbius. Probably Venom level of film. The bar is low, I expect it to miss.
Sony’s entire plan seems to be “People like superhero movies, what if we made more.” and it’s a complete misread of the room.
Bunch of Disney+ shows coming though… will be interesting to see how that shakes out.
Yeah I left that out of the conversation since it’s fewer than you think and the conversation is always about films.
As an example we have Echo in January, which is a season dump which probably means low quality, but since it’s an all at once dump it probably will be ok since any single bad or slow episode will just be forgotten by the next episode. As long as it isn’t Secret Invasion levele of bad, it’ll be fine.
After that… Agatha, maybe? I expect that to get delayed.
Everything else is animated with a “2024” release date. Wakanda, Spider-Man, Zombies. I don’t want to downplay them, but animated stuff always falls into a different and lesser category.
I keep getting surveys from Disney+ asking “Soooo… how do you watch?” and I keep telling them “I wait for the whole thing to finish so I can watch it all at once.”
I bet I’m not the only one. :)
What If? Season 2 is dropping 9 episodes in 9 days starting Friday, and I think that accelerated release is a response to the survey data, same with Echo.
Oh interesting! I haven’t gotten any surveys.
Other than “What If… Happy Hogan Saved Christmas?” coming out on the 24th I wasn’t sure of what the Christmas release strategy was.
