Disney CEO Bob Iger recently sat down for an interview with BBC Newsbeat, and the head honcho at the House of Mouse had this to say about the future of Marvel on film:
“Marvel, you’re dealing with thousands and thousands of characters — that will go on forever.”
Marvel movies forever? But doesn’t he think audiences are starting to get superhero fatigue? After all, Steven Spielberg has said that he thinks superhero movies will go the way of the western by dropping in popularity, and Zack Snyder agrees with him. Here’s what Iger had to say about the audiences desire for more superhero movies:
“No, I don’t think they’re getting weary. But I think we keep raising the bar in terms of telling stories that bring them back, that excite them, that make it feel new and that is what we do for a living.”
Marvel movies will go on forever according to Disney CEO

Makes sense. Can’t really see them doing anything else other than superhero movies.

Oh boy comedies for 12 year olds forever

There’s no way these studios can pump out three movies a year a piece. They need to dial back.

Yeah, forever until money dictates otherwise.
