Bob Iger has revealed thatDisneyhas quietly scrapped some secret projects, and although they haven’t released any names, fans think they know which movies have got the axe.
According toThe Hollywood Reporter, Disney CEO Iger announced the news at a conference in San Francisco. “You have to kill things you no longer believe in, and that’s not easy in this business, because either you’ve gotten started, you have some sunk costs, or it’s a relationship with either your employees or with the creative community,” Iger said. “It’s not an easy thing, but you got to make those tough calls. We’ve actually made those tough calls. We’ve not been that public about it, but we’ve killed a few projects already that we just didn’t feel were strong enough.”
Although Iger failed to mention which exact projects have been canceled, fans are already speculating which movies Disney is letting go. Judging by the discussions taking place in thisRedditthread, it looks like Marvel movies, in particular, might have been the ones in danger.
While it wouldn’t be a huge shock for Disney to trim down Marvel projects in the wake of superhero fatigue, Iger doesn’t seem too bothered about that. Elsewhere at the conference, he said: “A lot of people think it’s audience fatigue, it’s not audience fatigue. They want great films. We reduced the output of Marvel, both number of films they make and the number of TV shows, and that really becomes critical, but I feel good about the team.”
