Marvel's Trinh Tran Says The Studio Is Expanding, But Not At The Expense Of Quality

It’s been approximately a month since it was announced that Disney and Sony would not only continue working together on Spider-Man, but that Tom Holland’s version of the Web-Slinger will lead a third standalone film, which will come out in 2021. With Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Thor: Love and Thunder having already been scheduled for that year, that means there will be four Marvel Cinematic Universe movies to look forward to in two years time.

When I recently asked Avengers: Endgame executive producer Trinh Tran, who’s been working on the MCU in one form or another since the beginning, if four movies feels like the most the studio can release per year, she noted that the Spider-Man of it all, as well as the forthcoming Disney+ shows, mean there’s structural expansion, but don’t think that means quality is being sacrificed for quantity. As Tran put it:

In other words, just because there will be four MCU movies in 2021 doesn’t mean you should count on that being a regular occurrence. Yes, the MCU is not only expanding with its various movies, but with the Disney+ shows, which have been said to be just as important to this mythology as the cinematic tales. But Trinh Tran and the rest of the MCU leadership are still chiefly concerned with making sure that they can keep things different and unique for the fans, regardless of how many projects it takes.

Nevertheless, 2021 is definitely a big year for the MCU, as in addition to those four movies, Disney+ will premiere WandaVision, Loki and Hawkeye, as well as the animated What If… ?, which explores what would happen if major events in this franchise happened differently. Once Thor: Love and Thunder is out, that will wrap up Phase 4, and so far the only movie that’s on the calendar for Phase 5 is Black Panther II.

Conversely, 2020 is a quieter MCU year. Only two movies are coming out (the first time that’s happened since 2016), Black Widow and The Eternals, and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is the only Disney+ series debuting. Following the climactic conclusion to The Infinity Saga this year and all the success Captain Marvel, Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home experienced, I don’t blame Marvel for wanting to scale back a little bit before jumping into the deep end of the proverbial pool.

It will be interesting to see if another year comes when Marvel feels that it’s ready to give the public four movies, especially if all of them are full Marvel Studios productions. Because remember, the company partners with Sony on Spider-Man’s live-action silver screen adventures.

We may not be getting another Infinity Saga-level story for a long time, but Marvel shows no signs of slowing down with continually expanding this franchise, whether it does so with three movies a year, four movies or even somehow hits five. Whatever the number is, keep checking back with CinemaBlend for all the latest updates concerning the MCU.

Karate Kid Actor Rob Garrison Has Died At 59

Imahe
8 hours ago Of the many classic ‘80s movies that have transcended their time, 1984’s The Karate Kid certainly stands out. It’s iconic, immensely quotable and lives on over 30 years later after its release with YouTube’s highly-successful Cobra Kai series. It’s a sad day for Karate Kid fans because Robert Garrison, the actor from the Cobra Kai karate crew known as Tommy has passed away at 59. Robert Garrison died Friday morning in a hospital in West Virginia after suffering kidney and liver problems there for over a month. His death was a result of his organs shutting down, Garrison’s sister-in-law Linda told TMZ. Funeral arrangements are currently in the works by his family. Garrison began his Hollywood career as a child actor in the late ‘70s, appearing in films such as Lost and Found and Prom Night, starring scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis, before landing his most famous role of Tommy in The Karate Kid at 24. His Cobra Kai character utters the famous line “Get him...

Doctor Sleep: How Different Was The Movie From Stephen King's Book?

Imahe
6 hours ago You might not realize this on the surface, but the new Ewan McGregor film Doctor Sleep is a sequel to Stephen King’s classic novel, The Shining . In addition, Doctor Sleep director Mike Flanagan has made sure that his film connects to – and builds off of – Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 film of the same name. When it comes to film adaptations and the works of Stephen King, though, Hollywood has been hit and miss. Sometimes, a director and screenwriter stay incredibly faithful to King’s vision, leading to satisfying horror adaptations such as Misery , Carrie , Gerald’s Game and the recent, two-part It . Other times, the source material of a Stephen King novel or series is completely ignored or reworked to the point that you can’t even recognize the story any more, and we get a movie like The Dark Tower . Yikes. Doctor Sleep falls much closer in spirit to those adaptations that faithfully interpret King’s words. It retains the plot and tone of King’s book, bu...
