![]() ![]() I thought this type of cannibalization from Marvel was a whisper of the past – you know, back in 20, when COVID delays meant that they simply had more shows and movies already completed than they had available release windows, – but I guess not. Why set the schedule so that an MCU show’s finale, of all episodes, directly overlaps with their next movie? In a year where each new Marvel project so far has enjoyed at least a month-long buffer on either side of its release window, to now have three projects jockeying for space in the second-to-last month of the year just feels odd, and unnecessary.Īs well, assuming Loki’s second season releases just one episode per week (as the majority of the Marvel Disney+ shows have done in the past), then its sixth and final episode will hit the streamer on the exact same day that The Marvels hits theatres, November 10th. ![]() A film, if you’ll recall, that has already possessed four prior release dates, including one in late July that just changed to November a few months back. If you look a little closer at both the Variety report and just a regular calendar, that’s when the concerns become apparent.įor starters, both of these shows will be airing episodes in the month of November, which just so happens to also be the same month that the MCU’s third and final film of 2023, the Captain Marvel sequel, The Marvels, comes out in theatres. Thankfully, just this past week, we received confirmation via reporting from Variety that the MCU is planning to release two more shows before the year is out, with premiere dates officially set for Loki Season 2 and Echo as October 6th and November 29th, respectively. These titles included the aforementioned Secret Invasion, as well as the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever spin-off Ironheart, the WandaVision spin-off Agatha: Coven of Chaos, the Hawkeye spin-off Echo, and the long-awaited second season of 2021’s Loki. In the past two years of small-screen superhero content, there was never more than three months between Marvel Disney+ shows, so this eight-month gap is certainly unprecedented (and more than likely a product of both the change in Disney leadership and the crisis affecting the visual effects industry).Īdditionally, the fact that the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU’s) first 2023 show is premiering nearly halfway into the calendar year is a far cry from the five live-action series announced at last summer’s San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) as being slated for a 2023 release. If you’re keeping track (and I certainly am), over eight months will have elapsed from the season finale of 2022’s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law last October and the upcoming premiere of Secret Invasion on June 21st on the streaming service. ![]() It’s been a while since we’ve had a Marvel Disney+ show, hasn’t it? ![]()
