Recently, the news of "Marvel announced the closure of the TV department" has been circulated on the Internet. According to foreign media reports, Marvel has closed the TV department. The existing projects of the TV department will continue to be broadcast, and the development of new projects will stop. After that, Kevin Fitch and Marvel Pictures will take over. It is expected that there will be layoffs. .
Marvel officially stated: “The Marvel TV Department has officially come to an end and will be merged into Marvel Pictures.” In name, it is “merged into the film industry”, but in fact it is the cancellation of the TV department. Wei’s TV series are no longer in place, such as "Agents of S.H.I.
Many netizens expressed difficulty accepting this news. After all, those characters who have liked it for many years are likely to withdraw from the stage of history, which will inevitably affect the mood of fans.
Marvel announced the closure of the TV department while also showing how to deal with some of the remaining projects. The seventh season of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." will end after the broadcast next year (2020), and the "Leaving Children's League" will also end after the broadcast this weekend.
In addition, the live-action drama "Hell Storm" and other Hulu Marvel animations are still under development, but the department will no longer produce new Marvel series, basically it is certain that the live-action drama "Ghost Rider" will be directly hacked Drop.
As for why the TV department should be closed, the reason is obvious, and that is the issue of profitability. The investment and income of TV dramas is difficult to compare with movies. Although in recent years, Marvel TV dramas have been trying to cooperate with major media, but since the last time the MCN series developed by Marvel Pictures for Disney was cancelled, Marvel TV The Ministry has already fallen into a dire prospects. And news of the cancellation of the TV department has been reported many times, but there has been no official announcement. But from the cancellation of many Marvel dramas such as "Dare Demon" and "League of the Defenders" by Netflix, to the dystocia of "New Warrior", and finally even the cancellation of "Ghost Rider", we can see signs of it. Marvel TV Department It's really not a profitable project.
Of course, Marvel Pictures’ direct involvement in the TV drama business is also an obvious sign of the closure of the TV department this time. Although the TV department is gone, "Winter Soldier and Falcon", "Vision and Wanda" and "Eagle Eye" are still worth looking forward to, and these profitable projects are developed by Marvel Pictures.
After Marvel’s parent company Disney launched the streaming media platform "Disney+", the fate of Marvel TV has been determined, and sooner or later they will be re-planned by Disney. Since Disney launched its own streaming media business, they have announced that their cooperation with a number of traditional TVs has ceased and the development copyright has been withdrawn. In the future, Marvel's TV series will also be developed under Disney's arrangement and landed on its streaming media platform. Therefore, the ending of Marvel's TV department is the general trend. Although it is a bit reluctant, we have to accept this fact.
Marvel TV launched Marvel’s own first and longest-lived drama "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." in 2013, and then expanded its cooperation with Netflix, FX and other platforms/media to create "Dare Devil "Jessica Jones", "The Punisher", "The Crowd" and other dramas. With a large number of episodes ending and being cancelled, the "Hell Storm" currently being filmed has become the last new drama project of the current Marvel TV Department. The Marvel TV department with a history of nearly ten years has come to an end.
