Finished the too smooth Marvel series on Disney +? Mickey’s firm would have changed its tune and made a new decision on this particular subject.
The new Disney+ of June 2023 have been launched recently, and it is not over. As usual, new films, series, shows and documentaries will be pouring in every day, every week, until the very end of the month. If we do not know what exactly the service has in store for us in the coming months, one of the plans of the company with big ears would have been revealed in advance. There’s going to be change and it’s Marvel who will benefit the most.
More mature Marvel content (films, series) on Disney+?
Disney+ is in full transformation and will not give gifts to subscribers. To save money, the SVOD platform has deleted around sixty films and series. An action not really beneficial for users, but for the company, yes. It estimates that it has already saved $1.5 billion. Which is colossal and should put some butter in the spinach, especially after the massive leak of customers. 4 million people have canceled their subscription.
But what to do to hope to return to growth on Disney +? Bob Iger, CEO of Walt Disney, and his teams have set a course. Particularly for their huge Marvel brand which suffers from criticism of MCU TV shows. In order to reverse the steam, there will therefore be less content … but they will be more qualitative according to the boss of the group.
“We realized we were producing a lot of content that wasn’t necessarily fueling growth. We want to reduce our production without having an impact on subscriptions”. Fewer, more qualitative and more mature series? “This is the way” if a new rumor is to be believed. According to CanWeGetSomeToastwhich would have swung information in the past on the universe of superheroes, mature Marvel content, surely series as a priority, are coming to Disney+. “Disney authorizes Marvel to develop TV-MA productions (note: Mature Audience Only) on Disney Plus”.
Daredevil and The Punisher as standard bearers of violence?
So does the Internet user have a scoop? It deserves to be monitored and judged over time. However, this information would not be an incredible surprise if it were to be verified. Vincent D’Onofrio, Wilson Fish aka the Kingpin, has announced that the new series Daredevil Born Again will be violent. As much as its counterpart on Netflix? There’s no barometer of violence, but it will be there, and it won’t just be physical violence, according to the actor.
“All I can say is that if you look at the more violent things that Marvel has done – which are admittedly rare, but there are a lot of them – you will find that in our series. I think one of the things fans loved the most about the original series was that there wasn’t just gratuitous violence. […] There will be emotional abuse in addition to physical abuse » he explained to Newsweek.
No certainty, but Daredevil Born Again could be at least prohibited for children under 12 or even older. Therefore, the program would certainly be placed in the “Star” section of Disney+. A special category with films and series for adults, which keeps children away. And beyond Daredevil – which is in danger of being delayed due to the writers’ strike? Good question. With the return of The Punisher in Born Again, why not reboot the Netflix show on Disney+? Because there for once, it would be an additional opportunity to see if, indeed, the firm of Mickey is ready to “dirty” its Marvel programs a little.
