Kevin Feige Sheds More Light On How Marvel's Disney+ Shows Will Affect What We See On The Big Screen

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has shed a little more light on how the Disney+ TV shows will factor into the wider MCU and promises that they'll have an impact on what comes next on the big screen...

Kevin Feige recently confirmed that Marvel's Phase 4 plans won't become known until after Spider-Man: Far From Home is released, and it sounds like the Disney+ TV shows will play a significant role in that. Loki and The Vision & Scarlet Witch are seemingly coming to the online streaming service first but a series revolving around Bucky and The Falcon is also in the works. 

Now, Feige has confirmed that these shows are being developed as part of the "post-[Avengers: Endgame] MCU" before revealing that the "transformations" characters go through will have an impact on what we see in the movies.


"It will be MCU proper. Sometimes it will take place as Captain Marvel did in a time before current events, sometimes it will take place during. What I will say, whatever happens in those, in those shows and with characters that have been in the films, they’ll undergo transformations, not Loki necessarily, but will undergo transformations in their series and those transformations will be reflected in their next film appearances because we’ve been developing long form narrative stories for Disney plus at the exact same time that we’ve been developing a post-[Avengers: Endgame] MCU, we’ve been able to do something we’ve never done before, which is interweave them from the start, from the plant."

While past MCU TV shows have taken place in the same world as the movies, the connections have been tenuous and nothing that's happened in them has had any sort of real impact on the big screen adventures of Earth's Mightiest Heroes (nothing Agent Coulson and his fellow Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. have done has never even been vaguely alluded to). 

It's also interesting to wonder what these "transformations" could be. Will The Vision 
take on a new form and could Bucky and The Falcon be competing for the right to become Captain America? 

Time will tell, but more details are expected to be revealed at a Disney+ press event later this year.

I see it like; there was criticism that Vision and Wanda's relationship developed entirely off-screen. This is their way to remedy that, in a sense. So rather than jumping from the end of AOU when Vision saves Wanda from Sokovia to Civil War in which they've got feelings for each other to Infinity War in which they're wholly devoted to one another, we'll have the new show to fill in the gaps.

@Nebula - Yes. This is where the MCU will surpass itself going forward.

So he will apply what he did in the movies in the tv shows. Bold move because i don't know if audiences will be willing to be sit through shows to obtain crucial character developments that will carry in the films. It's a risky move to make those shows mandatory viewings.

In addition this is just more confirmation that those are the first real MCU shows and i don't want to hear any crap about "not getting referenced in the movies doesn't mean anything".

IT MEANS EVERYTHING. Let's stop this talk right now. There hasn't been one reference in over 6 years of Marvel tv. It's pretty clear how Feige feels about those shows.

@Jeight8 - this is really huge because people some will feel obliged to watch both in their entirety.... sucking in huge revenue to Disney+ memberships and box office.

That is awesome to hear! I hope that means we get to see the Scarlet Witch learn full blown witchcraft from Agatha Harkness.

I'm just glad he said the guys getting TV shows will return to the movies (aside from Loki it seems). Some part of me thought this wasn't going to happen. Nice to hear otherwise.

I think these TV shows might be a good reason to reduce the amount of movies to 2-a-year. Two movies with a miniseries in between, all unapologetically MCU and developing it's story sounds really great and just the right amount of content.

@DnA - I don't think they will reduce the movies. There are already more than 30 heroes in the MCU. Even with 3 movies per year many of them will be benched , that's why they are making the shows. So they don't have to put everyone in the Avengers movies and fight for screentime.

There will be still 3 movies per year.
