According to a new report, Marvel Studios is taking a new approach to how it makes television shows, going back to a familiar formula.
In a new report from noted insider Daniel Richtman (also known as DanielRPK), he noted that Marvel Studios will focus on more grounded stories for its next slate of TV shows. Richtman notes that the new format will work similarly to the way Marvel handled its Netflix shows, which featured characters with more street-level stories and action with characters like Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Daredevil.
Richtman’s report also mentions that big events and stories will be reserved for films. This means it’s unlikely we see another project like Secret Invasion, which was a big event in the world of Marvel Comics, released as a TV project.
This latest report coincides a bit with a report from last month from Jeff Sneider’s The InSneider. That report notes that Marvel TV projects will stop featuring “major characters” from Marvel Studios films.
“You’ll get mentions of major characters, just like how Spider-Man (the Peter Parker version) was referenced in Daredevil: Born Again, during a speech where newly elected mayor Wilson Fisk mentions a ‘man who dresses in a spider outfit’ while condemning costumed vigilantes,” Sneider wrote. “There are going to be a whole lot more references like that in Marvel shows, but look for those shows to continue to be based around characters like Wonder Man, who arrives new to the MCU on Disney+ in December, rather than Vision, a big-screen character whom audiences are accustomed to paying to see.”
The Disney+ shows have been building their own little world within the MCU; the aforementioned Vision series, for example, is tied to WandaVision, which is also tied to Agatha All Along. Daredevil: Born Again, meanwhile, has set the stage for a new Punisher Disney+ special that is now in development.
