Bosco685 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Quote The move puts the overall creative direction of the studio's storytelling and content creation across mediums, including publishing, film, TV, and animation, under the executive. In a reflection of his growing authority, Marvel president Kevin Feige has also been named the company’s chief creative officer, Disney said on Tuesday. The move puts the overall creative direction of Marvel’s storytelling and content creation across mediums, including publishing, film, TV, and animation, under Feige. In addition, Marvel TV and Marvel Family Entertainment, which produced animation, are also moving under the Marvel Studios banner, which Feige runs. Marvel has had separate heads running its film, television, publishing and other divisions. The new title for Feige places creative oversight under the veteran executive. He will continue to report to Walt Disney Studios co-chairman and chief creative officer Alan Horn and co-chairman Alan Bergman. The consolidation has been coming for some time. Marvel Entertainment’s chairman Ike Perlmutter had been moved away from any film input after Feige threatened to leave in 2015. And while Marvel’s TV shows on ABC have been consistently underwhelming, and its Netflix slate of shows cratered, Feige this summer took charge of the new slate of shows that will be appearing on Disney+. Those shows will be tied to the wildly popular cinematic universe on which Marvel and Disney have been surfing on in recent years. (It is unclear what this new structure means for Marvel's current head of TV, Jeph Loeb.) The changes in the publishing side, the silo which feeds the screened entertainment side, highlight the shift. Dan Buckley will continue as president of Marvel Entertainment, still overseeing publishing’s creative and editorial drive while now reporting to Feige.

Bosco685 Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 I wonder if the next announcement will be 'Jeph Loeb departs to spend more time with his family'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 So do we assume at this point Ike Perlmutter truly is completely out of Marvel Entertainment? I couldn't see him allowing this after being backdoored by Feige with Bob Iger over Marvel Studios (and well deserved). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if Feige is the Marvel CCO, I would think he is at least a dotted line into Perlmutter when it comes to comic books. What a weird structure. Yet the films, TV shows and comic book divisions all continue to grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if now they'll bring back Daredevil, Punisher, Defenders or the best of the Netflix Marvel shows under Disney+ and allow them to actually crossover/be involved in the MCU. I mean how badass would it be to have a DD or Punisher cameo in the next Spider-Man movie. maybe. but they've got to do something with that train wreck of Agents of Shield. Maybe get Nick Fury into a Marvel version of the Blacklist. Too bad Black Widow had to die. I could watch ScarJo beat up bad guys all day long as an elite Agent of Shield operative. Guess she's got her own movie but would still have loved to see a weekly program with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've watched seasons 1-5 and I've found the quality has improved with every season and I've really enjoyed what they've done with the series overall.

Hollywood1892 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I think with Punisher it depends on where they are going with MCU and Fantastic Four because as we all know Punisher becomes....nevertheless I'm in season 2 of Punisher right now, I'm not sure why I never got into it in the first place, or why I was so reluctant too, but its WICKED!! 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 Quote A lot of changes are coming to Marvel over the coming months as movie producer Kevin Feige is now taking over as the creative head for every branch of the superhero company. This is a massive move, as Feige originally split Marvel Studios from the rest of the company after feuding with Marvel Entertainment Chairman Ike Perlmutter. While the Disney shareholder's future with the company is murky at this point, this is also leading to speculation that Marvel Television boss Jeph Loeb could be on his way out the door as well. A new report from Variety indicates that Loeb is expected to leave Marvel Television soon in the wake of Feige's takeover. Loeb is responsible for series such as Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, Daredevil, Cloak & Dagger, and the upcoming Offenders animated series that include Howard the Duck. Marvel Television has been a separate entity from Marvel Studios but started out teasing their involvement in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the tagline "It's All Connected," but as the movies distanced themselves from the TV show events, they started to become more self-contained. All of this comes from the acrimonious split between Feige and Perlmutter, with Disney boss Bob Iger even commenting on the dispute in his book "The Ride of a Lifetime," in which he detailed the decision to split Marvel Studios from Perlmutter's direction and give Feige creative freedom. “We had a chance to make a great movie and to showcase an underrepresented segment of America, and those goals were not mutually exclusive,” Iger wrote. “I called Ike and told him to tell his team to stop putting up roadblocks and ordered that we put both ‘Black Panther’ and ‘Captain Marvel’ into production.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
