Marvel Studios Reportedly Working On Something "Bigger And Better" For Disney Streaming Service Than NICK FURY

Following reports that a Nick Fury series is in the works for Disney's planned streaming service, another source claims that it's not happening and Marvel Studios is actually developing something bigger!

A few days ago, a rumour started doing the rounds that Nick Fury might get his own series on Disney's streaming service. The response from fans was one of disappointment, especially as it's hard to imagine what a show like that could accomplish considering the fact we'll learn his origin story in Captain Marvel before he later reappears in the present day in Spider-Man: Far From Home.

Now, Slash Film's Peter Sciretta has weighed in on the matter and he claims that Nick Fury isn't happening. Instead, Marvel Studios is reportedly developing something "bigger and better" and while there's no word on what that might be, this is bound to generate excitement among fans. 

One very likely possibility (and this is just pure speculation on our part) is that the Fantastic Four could receive the spotlight. They've not received much luck on the big screen before now and that might mean Marvel Studios and Disney will instead choose to tell their story in the form of an eight-part TV series rather than attempting a big screen reboot which might be ignored by fans. 

We'll have to wait and see but with any luck, Disney's plans will start becoming clear once they make some sort of official announcement in regards to the content the platform will include.

Fantastic Four movie released in theaters to introduce the team that then moves to become a Sci Fi TV show about Family, science, and space exploration that moves beyond just the team vs Dr. Doom that has been rehashed over and over again.

@aflynn - The movie-tv thing would never work because of budget differences imo, only if the movie had a budget slightly bigger than the TV show, and that didn't work too well for the Inhumans.

A proper real movie will always look much better than a TV show because movies have much bigger budgets, a FF movie should look a billion times better than any possible TV show, and everybody would notice the obvious budget differences except if, like I said, the budget for the movie was not much bigger than the budget for the tv episodes, and then the movie would never look as good as a FF movie in the MCU should look, and Marvel Studios couldn't hire big stars to play Reed, Sue, Johnny, Ben, Doom, Galactus, Silver Surfer and all the great FF characters, because big stars most probably will not accept a TV show salary, they will want big money if Marvel wants them on a weekly TV show, and many big actors are just not interested on TV, that's why Inhumans had a modest cast with TV actors instead of the stars that Marvel Studios would have hired for the movie that was planned before with Feige as producer, if they had hired movie stars they wouldn't have had enough money for sets, fx, etc, and even being a supposedly big TV production released on IMAX, it still looked much cheaper than any MCU movie and than the movie it could have been if the original plans had not been changed.

The FF deserve an opportunity to finally shine in the MCU with a good movie, Spider-Man recently had his opportunity after the Sony Amazing Spider-Man movies, and Homecoming revitalized the character with his introduction in the MCU, the FF deserve the same treatment and not a movie-tv show experiment that could easily fail.

Marvel should hire Brad Bird or someone new that understood what kind of movie is necessary for the FF to fit in the MCU and be successeful, if Marvel Studios has got that lesser known characters have had successeful movies, they should be able to do the same with the FF, we just have to see how a Disney-Pixar FF rip-off/homage like The Incredibles have had a couple of pretty successeful movies, Marvel Studios just have to find the right formula for the real/original thing.

@aflynn - the streaming service may be the perfect loophole to get around the restrictions that the Hulk has tied to him... now we can get a Banner long story instead of just showing the Hulk punching every once in a while... science bros and all that can be a reality.

A F4 show would be ideal, there's so much potential for some type of sticom, reading Byrne's run really made me wish we had a show of them just hanging out in the Baxter building dealing with little threats around the city, with the cosmic adventure sprinkled out from time to time, it could be expensive, but would work better than a movie, like Friends meets Star Trek.

@SlowKnife - ''Friends meets Star Trek''

You just described the very thing I didn't know I needed nor wanted, but boy do I wanna see that now

@MalseMarcel - I know right?? IMO the most compelling aspect of the F4 is their relationship, they're just so cool and funny!

@MalseMarcel - if only orville was good, it could have been that.

Imagine if ghosted had actually been given time to develop, we would have gotten friends meets x-files

@SlowKnife - I think mini-series is where it would be at for them. If they do a full series, none of the characters will ever get to truly integrate to the mcu

@ftf530 - Agreed, and I really think this is how it’s gonna happen, with Feige in control

ftf530 - 10/24/2018, 8:15 AM
@Boganis - I think that's the only reason he said yes in the first place. They have enough characters to consistently do one or two mini series per year, probably one at the budget point they're talking about but it's Disney's financing so who knows?

ftf530 - 10/24/2018, 8:18 AM
@Boganis - but yeah, the most important thing people are forgetting, is that these are all going to be mini series (which was very explicitly stated in the announcement) as a way of not only being able to properly control the production schedules in relation to the films, but also to keep the stories in canon and within the true MCU timeline.

Hence, avoiding the problems brought about by being a traditional TV show or a show on a different network / service where they don't have that control since they didn't finance.

The mini series part, which I feel like people keep forgetting, it what makes me the most excited for these. Now if only someone could come out and officially announce that the shows aren't the same world as the movies, that would put a pin in all of this for good...

A series set about SHIELD set in the 2000s is what I want. It should be centered around Hawkeye, Black Widow, Fury and Hill. Then I would be really happy. That or a MI-13 series starring Captain Britain

@MalseMarcel - a mini series showing how the bromance between hawkeye and widow started / finally doing that budapest mission would be cool, but something tells me Widow is off the table for the TV shows cause she's the highest paid actress in the world.

@TheUnworthyThor - hadn't thought about a falcon series. Would be cool.
