Summary
Disney CEO Bob Iger has suggested that Marvel Studios should focus on new characters rather than sequels, following the disappointing box office performance of "Ant-Man and Wasp in Quantumania." Iger has also hinted at a new set of Avengers characters. Disney has been releasing new content from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) at a fast pace, using its streaming service Disney+ to introduce new characters and explore legacy characters between theatrical releases. However, the breakneck pace of content distribution has put pressure on visual effects groups, and some have criticized the underwhelming superpower effects or slapdash CGI backgrounds. Marvel has begun spreading out its releases, and there are more stories to tell, according to Iger.
