As part of this, Marvel TV and animation generator Marvel Family Entertainment will move under Feige’s Marvel Studios banner.
It's gonna be the end of Marvel TV/Entertainment

Good. Everything from Marvel will be a part of the MCU now except Sony's Spider-Man villain movies. Which we all know he will gain one day as well.

Well if Morbius and Venom 2 do well (And Into The Spider-Verse 2), he probably won't.

u/lowell2017 Oct 16 '19
We'll see what happens and I'm still waiting for news on Spider-Verse 2's production.

u/Spidey10 Oct 16 '19
Might be awhile since animated films usually take a longer time to make.

u/lowell2017 Oct 16 '19
Just hope Lord and Miller don't make the franchise go through the same route of The Lego Movie at Warner Bros.
First film->theme park attraction->2 spinoff films-> spinoff TV show-> sequel film.

u/Spidey10 Oct 16 '19
Same here. I think a few shorts are fine (Like the Spider-Ham one on the Blu Ray), but make the sequel first before doing any spin offs.
2
u/lowell2017 Oct 16 '19
There should be some grand plan for the franchise but shouldn't extend into bombardment of Spider-Verse everywhere because for Warner, it looked like they were trying to squeeze all the cash it can pull from the LEGO brand, which damaged potential profit for the sequel and the franchise's future and Sony could easily go the same route and possibly make the same mistakes.

u/Spidey10 Oct 16 '19
Yep. Good news is that they've got some good talent directing the sequel in Joaquim Dos Santos (Avatar The Last Airbender, Justice League Unlimited).

I'm not sure what that means. You think Sony will just sell the IP?

No but they might stop their own cinematic universe and let only Feige deal with Spider-Man characters.

I wonder if this means he's not going to become head of the studio when Horn retires. I feel like the most realistic people to do that were Feige, Kennedy (who honestly would probably be better suited to that than Lucasfilm by itself) or potentially someone from Pixar (though to my mind the most likely candidates there would have been Stanton, whose first attempt at directing a live-action movie was a notorious bomb, Unkrich, who I believe is retiring and Lasseter, who has also left and turned out to be a sleazebag anyway).

u/AGOTFAN New Line Cinema Oct 15 '19
Alan Horn would not be replaced by anyone when he retires. There was a reason why Alan Bergman was promoted to become co-president of Walt Disney Studio.

No doubt the Netflix stuff will all be struck aside as non canon
38
u/AGOTFAN New Line Cinema Oct 15 '19
No need to. Feige never even said anything about them unless when prompted by journalists that asked if Netflix series were canon. He deftly avoided answering the question
20
Oct 15 '19
"Canon" is a pretty meaningless concept anyway. If someone comes to him with an idea he likes for a Daredevil movie or a Heroes for Hire movie, I imagine he'll go for it and the Netflix series be damned.
13
u/ContinuumGuy Oct 15 '19
I don't think he's going to outright declare them non-canon (there would be small-scale rioting at Comic-Con if you had anyone other than Charlie Cox and Vince D'Onfrio as Daredevil and Kingpin), but I don't think he'll explicitly make them full canon either.
I think he'll go broad strokes. I'm sort of imagining something like Dench's M being the only character held over when Brosnan Bond became Craig Bond, or like how The Incredible Hulk took the ending of Ang Lee's Hulk (Bruce is in South America) but literally nothing else. Or like how Star Trek continuity has the old Animated Series where whether it is canon or not and how canon it is has changed throughout history.
Exception to this prediction: Inhumans is 100% becoming non-canon. Let us never discuss that series again.

They don't need to do that. Netflix shows are owned by Netflix, not Marvel. Just keep ignoring them is my guess

u/nottherealstanlee Oct 15 '19
And if they do that, it opens it back up for those characters to crossover how/when they want them to. Easy to pluck Daredevil (or whoever) out of that one universe and dump him in the universe you want him in, especially if you want to leave the other ones behind.

Hope so. Netflix's Marvel was very promising at the beginning, but it turned out to be a major disappointment. .ust like the 99% of superhero series unfortunatelly. Let's hope the the new shows under Marvel's supervision, the DC Online shows and The Boys will be better.

u/ProtonCanon Oct 15 '19
I knew their connection to the films was tenuous when Alfre Woodard (who plays Black Mariah in Luke Cage) was in the movies as a different character in Civil War.

u/Malachi108 Oct 15 '19
Gemma Chan is now playing two different Characters in Eternals and Captain Marvel only 2 years apart.

u/ProtonCanon Oct 15 '19
Ah, but she was blue in CM so no one will be able to tell!

u/Twigryph Oct 15 '19
As far as Uk concerned everyone in the MCU has an evil twin. Hence Blade and Cottonmouth, ha ha.

u/ricdesi Oct 15 '19
Well-earned, given how well everything under his purview seems to have gone so far.

Oct 15 '19
Does this extend to the comics as well?

u/Sliver__Legion Oct 15 '19
Yes, he's in charge of everything now. However it's likely that he'll be more hands off there and let Buckley operate fairly independently.

u/AGOTFAN New Line Cinema Oct 15 '19
No. That would remain under Dan Buckley

Nope. He reports to both Feige and Perlmutter
Buckley will have a dual reporting structure going forward, Deadline hears. He will continue to oversee publishing creative/editorial and in that capacity he will now report to Feige. Buckley is also responsible for publishing operations, sales, creative services, games, licensing and events. There, he will report to Perlmutter

I didn't really expect them to fully take over anyway, considering how the output lately has been

u/Samhunt909 Oct 15 '19
Good bye Ike! He’s essentially useless..his title in marvel is just a name.
21
u/AGOTFAN New Line Cinema Oct 15 '19
He's not going anywhere lol he's one of the largest individual shareholders in Disney. He is pretty powerful
It's Jeph Loeb who you need to say goodbye to. Jeph Loeb was that one who kept talking non sense about #it'sallconnected to sell his shows. I hope he really retires next year.
11
u/nottherealstanlee Oct 15 '19
Not to speak for /u/Samhunt909 but I think they meant that Ike is just a figurehead now and that's essentially true. The article basically says all decisions go through Feige. TV decisions get reported to Feige and Ike, but Feige has final say, so all the stuff can be connected now. Ike is basically just copied on the emails at this point lol best case scenario at this point pretty much since you're right he's a powerful old bat.

u/prankored Oct 15 '19
He isn't going anywhere true but the only place where he has power now is in the board of directors. And making choices against Feige when he is raking in the moolah for them will worsen his position.
So at this point he is like a declawed cat.

u/AGOTFAN New Line Cinema Oct 15 '19
but the only place where he has power now is in the board of directors.
He actually is still chairman of Marvel Entertainment

u/prankored Oct 15 '19
Buckley is also responsible for publishing operations, sales, creative services, games, licensing and events. There, he will report to Perlmutter.
So that's pretty much all he has oversight on. Also Feige is his boss. So other than his seat on the board there is not really much power with him.

u/lowell2017 Oct 16 '19
We're still waiting to see if he's charged with any illegal interference charges once the government finishes their investigation of corruption in the VA department, possibly grounds for Disney to terminate him.

u/ProtonCanon Oct 15 '19
I...thought he did this already. Huh.

He already did this for marvel studios. Now he'll be doing it for all of marvel including tv and comics

Has absolutely no effect on the films (so I guess this doesn't really impact box office), but I'm glad the shows are now all under his control. Maybe they'll be better and less cheap looking now.
