Marvel fans have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of Secret Invasion, the next Disney+ project from Marvel Studios. This highly anticipated series, which stars Samuel L. Jackson, will be the first streaming project of Phase 5 in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). However, fans have been frustrated with the wait time, which has broken the record for the longest gap between MCU series on Disney+.
Since the start of Marvel Studios’ content on Disney+, there has been an average gap of 55 days between each of the nine MCU series and special presentations. The longest wait was between Hawkeye and Moon Knight, which was 98 days in 2021. The shortest turnaround was just 14 days between WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.
But the wait for Secret Invasion has been unprecedented. It will be released on June 21, 2023, 208 days after the most recent Disney+ outing, The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special on November 25, 2022. This means that the wait between Phase 4’s final Disney+ project and Phase 5’s first Disney+ project is nearly double the second-longest gap in MCU/Disney+ history.
The long wait for Secret Invasion could be seen as a change of pace for Marvel Studios, which has been criticized for its rapid-fire approach when it comes to content in the post-Infinity Saga era of the MCU. Phase 4 saw seven movies, eight streaming series, and two Disney+ Special Presentations over 21 months. This means that fans were being presented with at least one new MCU project every 37.5 days.
However, Bob Iger, the CEO of Disney, has been emphasizing “quality over quantity” since his return to the company in November of 2022. This focus on quality may be the biggest contributing factor to the record-breaking wait for Secret Invasion. Marvel Studios needs to deliver not just one, but two consecutive hits with audiences as Phase 5 really begins.
The next project on the board is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which is one of the most beloved franchises in comic book movie history. Right behind it is Secret Invasion, which has the makings of a top-tier Disney+ series along the lines of WandaVision and Loki.
Fans are hoping that the long wait for Secret Invasion will be worth it. With a high-quality cast led by Samuel L. Jackson and a legendary comic book run to draw from, Secret Invasion has the potential to be one of the most exciting projects in the MCU. The wait has been frustrating for fans, but all the factors involved seem to point toward the wait being worth it.
In conclusion, Secret Invasion has broken the frustrating record for the longest gap between MCU series on Disney+. However, the long wait could be seen as a change of pace for Marvel Studios as it shifts its focus to delivering quality content over quantity. With highly anticipated projects like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Secret Invasion on the horizon, fans are hoping that the wait will be worth it as Phase 5 of the MCU begins.
