IGN published this video item, entitled “How Money Has Become Marvel’s Greatest Villain” – below is their description.
It’s been rough going at Marvel Studios lately. The Marvels has landed with a thud. There’s also that recent Variety report showing how much of a dumpster fire Marvel movies are at the moment. Now, we have the rumored Fantastic Four casting news about Pedro Pascal becoming Reed Richards in the MCU. While Pedro Pascal is an excellent actor, having done great turns in The Last of Us, Game of Thrones, and his Star Wars show, The Mandalorian (there are even some great Pedro Pascal SNL moments), he might be too famous for the Fantastic Four. MCU actors generally started in their roles as C+/B- actors, and their Marvel Movies catapulted them to stardom. Recently, it seems Marvel has just been throwing money at their problems, and their willingness to spend lavish amounts of money to make sure big names are attached to the MCU phase 6 movies is proof that money has become Marvel’s greatest villain.
Kevin Feige has a lot of work ahead of him with the MCU. Fantastic Four casting aside, he’s got to turn around MCU phase 6 after what many consider to be an underwhelming MCU phase 5. In this video, we’re going to discuss how Marvel cast for their movies leading up to The Avengers and how those strategies fell by wasteside once the Marvel Cinematic Universe really started cooking. Now with Fantastic 4 and X-Men on the way, we discuss how Marvel and Disney should take a more frugal approach to the production of future Marvel Comics movies, because the audience has atrophied and wont be showing up in droves anymore to see how the MCU timeline is updated.
