Disney CEO Delivers a Newsworthy Interview, With Updates on Marvel, Star Wars, Streaming and More
How is Marvel going to absorb Fox’s X-Men franchise? Is Kevin Feige going to oversee everything?I think it only makes sense. I want to be careful here because of what’s been communicated to the Fox folks, but I think they know. It only makes sense for Marvel to be supervised by one entity. There shouldn’t be two Marvels.
Many believe Disney should pump the breaks and not put out a Star Wars movie each year.I made the timing decision, and as I look back, I think the mistake that I made — I take the blame — was a little too much, too fast. You can expect some slowdown, but that doesn’t mean we’re not going to make films. J.J. Abrams is busy making Episode IX. We have creative entities, including Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, who are developing sagas of their own, which we haven’t been specific about. And we are just at the point where we’re going to start making decisions about what comes next after J.J.’s. But I think we’re going to be a little bit more careful about volume and timing. And the buck stops here on that.
All that and more in a very worthwhile read.
