Marvel has been going through some things. After a post-Endgame slump, it seemed like the franchise would never find its footing again, especially after flops like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and fallout from real-life scandals. The light at the end of the tunnel, it seemed, was a new strategy adopted by the MCU on both the movie and TV side of the franchise: quality over quantity.
After years of churning out multiple series and movies to keep viewers interested, output was dialed back with the promise of only one or two movies a year, something reflected in the fact that there are only two Marvel movies releasing this year: Thunderbolts and The Fantastic Four: First Steps. However, a new addition to the Marvel release schedule suggest this strategy may fly out the window in only a few years.
