Marvel Studios Has Scrapped Its ASSEMBLED Documentaries For MCU Movies And TV Shows

The writing has been on the wall for a while, but it's now been revealed that Marvel has pulled the plug on its Assembled series of documentaries, taking fans behind the scenes of MCU movies and TV shows.

Marvel Studios: Assembled is a series of documentaries produced for Disney+ that have taken fans behind the scenes of the Multiverse Saga's movies and TV shows. 

First announced in 2021, the first of them premiered in March of that year with "The Making of WandaVision."

Documentaries for The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Loki season 1, Black Widow, What If...?Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Hawkeye, Eternals, Moon KnightDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of MadnessMs. Marvel, Thor: Love and ThunderShe-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever all followed in Phase 4.

For Phase 5, we've had Assembled specials for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3Secret Invasion, Loki season 2, EchoThe MarvelsX-Men '97Deadpool & Wolverine, and Agatha All Along

Many fans have questioned why the likes of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Captain America: Brave New World, Daredevil: Born Again, and Thunderbolts* haven't received documentaries, and it now appears as if they never will. 

TV Line's Matt Webb Mitovich was asked about the show's future and revealed, "I love me a Marvel Studios: Assembled episode, too; alas, I’m hearing that there are no new episodes of the Disney+ franchise planned at this time."

That doesn't matter too much for the MCU's movies as they'll still get making-of featurettes on their respective Blu-ray releases. However, for Daredevil: Born Again and other Disney+ series, it means fans won't get those behind-the-scenes insights. 

As disappointing as that may be, the Man Without Fear underwent an extensive creative overhaul, meaning it would have been very difficult to combine the pre-overhaul BTS footage with what followed (the pilot was completely reshot, and the series got new penultimate and finale episodes).

Throw in Captain America: Brave New World's extensive reshoots, and Marvel Studios might be relieved to no longer have the pressure of producing these specials. 

Are you disappointed that there will be no more Marvel Studios: Assembled episodes?

I'm actually disappointed in that, but good to see they'll still be on DVD/Blu Rays special features.

I'm guessing this is just a cost saving measure...still less content for D+ though...i see a merger on the horizon.

For people to care about the making off of something, that something needs to be good in the first place, so they should focus on the quality of their movies/shows.

@Urubrodi - Not necessarily. The behind-the-scenes sh*t-show that 1996's 'The Island of Dr. Moreau' was would go on to eventually produce a documentary that was FAR, FAR more entertaining and enthralling than anything that one saw in the actual movie itself!

Behind the scenes/Making of features are typically worth it only when made years after the fact, when people involved can be more honest. Ones made alongside the movie/show are typically just puff pieces meant to advertise the product, with everyone just sitting on a chair going "this is the best thing I have ever made, a true highlight of my career" or the like.

They gave some good insights, but I think they pushed it too hard. A half hour episode with basic BTS stuff works better than the high tier documentaries they were going for imo

[frick]ing lame. I'm a huge fan of BTS content, and these were generally pretty good. Very disappointed. Watched every one.

I love behind the scenes documentaries for movies or shows, but I did feel this was way more pretentious than other behind the scenes documentaries.

That blows. I watched every single one of these & I loved them. Even for things I didn't much care for, the behind the scenes were still really interesting. Bummer.

I'm disappointed. I always looked forward to seeing the "Assemble" documentary once a Marvel project makes it Disney+, especially on films & shows I really enjoyed. I began to suspect something was up with the series when Marvel released the 'Agatha All Along' behind-the-scenes on Youtube. I don't think it's ever been put on Disney+. That's when I began to believe Disney isn't seeing much point making "Assembled" projects. To them, it's a waste of money. But to fans of their projects, it was another way to revisit something they loved or want to see how it was made.

Anyhow, it's finally good to get a definite answer. Even though I didn't care much for 'Captain America: Brave New World' I have been checking Disney+ for when that film's "Assembled" package. Perhaps Marvel Studios got tired trying to work around troubled projects. I thought they talked around the issues surrounding 'Secret Invasion'. Maybe trying to do an "Assembled" for 'Brave New World' or 'Daredevil Born Again' where projects were reworked or had creative teams turned over was just too much for them.
