“We’re slowly going to decrease volume and go to probably about two TV series a year instead of what had become four,” Iger said on the call (per our sister site Variety), “and reduce our film output from maybe four a year to two, or a maximum of three.”
When the Marvel Studios-produced TV series launched on Disney+ in January 2021 with WandaVision, that year wound up premiering no fewer than four other Marvel series: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki (Season 1), Hawkeye and, on the animated side, Season 1 of the What If…? anthology series.

Every year since, Disney+ has released at least three Marvel series: Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk and I Am Groot (Season 1) in 2022, plus Werewolf by Night and Guardians of the Galaxy standalone specials; Secret Invasion, Loki Season 2, What If…? Season 2 and I Am Groot Season 2 in 2023; and this year Echo, the animated X-Men ’97 and the WandaVision offshoot Agatha: Darkhold Diaries (currently penciled in for September).
On the un-dated horizon, meanwhile, you have Daredevil: Born Again (which reunites the Netflix series’ Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio, among others), the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever offshoot Ironheart, Wonder Man and a live-action Wakanda series, among other projects in various stages of development.
Iger said that some of the yet-to-be-released small-screen Marvel series represent “a vestige of basically a desire in the past to increase volume.”
