In response to the ongoing actor strike, Marvel Studios issued a statement. Marvel Studios CEO and president Kevin Feige and co-president Louis D’Esposito sent an email to their employees at the same time as SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild of America (WGA) went on strike in Hollywood. “We recognise how much you’ve all done on your specific projects, and it’s disappointing when carefully laid plans have to shift, but constant change is the nature of the production business, and our teams are no strangers to unexpected challenges and rising to meet them,” the pair said in a joint statement. We really appreciate all of your efforts to make the best of the situation, and we can all hope that a new agreement will be finalised soon so that we may restart the fantastic work that we are now engaged in.”
The remark comes after weeks of Marvel experiencing several pre-production halts as a result of the writers strike. Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 5 projects such as Blade, Thunderbolts, and the Disney+ programmes Wonder Man and Daredevil: Born Again have been placed on hold indefinitely, despite the fact that the former two were about to begin production. With the addition of the actors’ strike, projects currently in development, such as Deadpool 3, are obliged to halt filming entirely. The writers strike had a wider impact on the film and television industries, and numerous MCU projects were forced to postpone their release dates. Thunderbolts has been pushed back to December 20, 2024, Blade has been pushed back to February 14, 2025, and Fantastic Four has been pushed back to May 2, 2025. Additionally, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty was pushed back from May 2, 2025 to May 1, 2026, while Avengers: Secret Wars was pushed back from May 1, 2026 to May 7, 2027. Captain America: Brave New World was the last MCU film to conclude before the actors strike began, and its release date was pushed back to July 26, 2024.
The big shakeup with MCU projects from both actors and writers striking at the same time is something that is weighing large over Disney CEO Bob Iger’s head. While Iger describes the prolonged strike as “disturbing,” he also views it as an opportunity for Marvel to slow down their material, both theatrically and on Disney+, in order to avoid viewer weariness. “You step back not only to focus, but also as part of our cost-cutting initiative.” “We’re spending less on what we make and producing less,” Iger explained. “Marvel is an excellent example of this.” It had not been in the television industry at all, and they not only increased their movie production, but they also produced a lot of TV programmes. To be honest, it blurred concentration and attention.”
