Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Bob Iger says Marvel Studios will be focusing on their stronger franchises.
Marvel Cinematic Universe is one of the biggest and highest-grossing media franchises of all time with its stories centered on superheroes and characters, which are based on the comic books published by Marvel Comics. The franchise not only includes movies and comic books but also television series, short films, digital series, and literature. Marvel content is available on Disney+ for viewers.
Not only did Bob Iger cast doubts on the release plans for Thunderbolts and Blade, but he also seemed to suggest that Avengers 5 will no longer be coming in 2026. When promoting the films coming in 2026, Iger eagerly celebrated new additions to beloved franchises as he announced Frozen 3, Toy Story 5, and The Mandalorian movie would all be coming in 2026. He did not, however, mention Avengers 5 which seems like a major red flag.
MCU started with 2008’s Iron Man starring Robert Downey Jr. as the titular character, and since then, Marvel Studios has released movies in Phases. Currently, the franchise is in Phase Five, which will end with Captain America: Brave New World. One of the recent challenges that the franchise had to face was to sustain itself because of the movies not working as expected, and Disney CEO Bob Iger might just have a plan for it.
Considering Disney used the call to promote its biggest titles coming next year including two Marvel movies, it seems incredibly odd that there would be no mention of Thunderbolts or Blade. This seems to suggest that the two films might have been pushed back to 2026, which could be a result of the production delays both films have faced. Speaking of potential delays.
