It doesn't bode well for Marvel's television future that the two most recently released MCU shows, She-Hulk and Secret Invasion, are the first Marvel shows to dip below the 80% mark. Secret Invasion is also reportedly one of the MCU's lowest-watched Disney+ shows to date while also being one of its most expensive to produce.
Thankfully, Loki season 2 is the next MCU show on the horizon, and it should right the ship as long as it allows Tom Hiddleston and Sophia Di Martino to shine.
Things get a little murkier after Loki season 2, as the next MCU shows to hit Disney+ are currently Echo, Ironheart, and Agatha: Coven of Chaos.
Also in development are an untitled Wakanda spinoff, Marvel Zombies, Wonder Man, and Vision Quest. But given Disney CEO Bob Iger's recent comments that Marvel Studios may be stretching themselves too thin, one has to wonder if some of these in-development shows get the axe.
