The enlargement of the MCU on to Disney+ does not simply imply the shared universe will introduce a whole lot of new superheroes within the close to future; it additionally means the MCU will embrace a complete host of recent genres as nicely. This raises the query of simply what genres different Disney+ exhibits will exploit; what codecs will encourage the Ms. Marvel sequence, for instance, or Moon Knight? The probabilities are nearly limitless.

Feige naturally throws a constructive spin on the size of those episodes, however in fact there may very well be a contractual purpose for the half-hour length. The rights for the Hulk and his related characters – together with She-Hulk – are notoriously sophisticated. Common acquired these rights again in 1990, and though they’ve reverted again to Marvel, the rival studio seems to have retained distribution rights in perpetuity. This may occasionally additionally prohibit Marvel’s choices on the small-screen; certainly one of their Spider-Man contracts with Sony leaked again in 2014, and it contained very particular provisions for TV exhibits, notably clauses dictating the utmost episode size. An identical restriction within the Hulk contract would imply Marvel needed to preserve their She-Hulk episodes lower than 44 minutes in size – therefore dictating their strategy.
