TL;DR

>Doubling their content to prop up Disney+ was a mistake.
>Doesn’t regret more experimental projects like Eternals even if they weren’t successful.
>Will release 2-3 movies, 1 live-action show and 1-2 animated shows a year going forward.
>TV shows will be cheaper and only tangentially connected to the movies so people don’t think of them as homework.
>Starting with Deadpool & Wolverine, they’ve also lowered their movie budgets due to most Hollywood movies underperforming lately.
>Won’t change their process of tinkering with the movie all the way to release, takes issue with James Gunn’s criticism given how much he tinkered with the Guardians of the Galaxy movies.
>Believes the homework stigma hurt Thunderbolts and regrets not emphasizing its standalone nature more in the marketing.
>Didn’t like that Ironheart and Wonder Man were shelved for so long when Disney ordered them to slow down their output, feels it hurt the story’s momentum. Points out Wonder Man was a parody of superhero filmmaking long before projects such as The Franchise and The Studio.
>Blade still in development with Mahershala Ali attached to star. Will no longer be a period piece. Delayed so often because the script wasn’t good enough. Regrets announcing it back in 2019 when Ali had only just signed on and there was no script.
>Kang won’t be coming back, and he approached RDJ to play Doctor Doom even before Jonathan Majors crashed out due to audiences not taking to Kang as they had to Thanos.
>All the characters they’ve introduced from the Eternals to She-Hulk to Clea to Hercules will pop up again eventually. They’re not memory-holing anyone (besides Kang).

>Avengers: Secret Wars will reset the MCU, unifying the Avengers, X-Men and Fantastic Four timelines and introducing the MCU X-Men which will skew younger as in the original comics. Doesn’t consider it a reboot as most pre-reset characters and storylines will continue.
>No plans for live-action Miles Morales.
>Might do more Deadpool/Wolverine movies.
>Will eventually recast cornerstone characters like Iron Man even if RDJ’s performance was iconic. Names David Corenswet as an example of a successful modern recast and Sean Connery’s James Bond as a character once perceived as “unrecastable”.
>Has no plans to leave Marvel Studios, but might branch out and produce some non-MCU projects in the future.
>The actors from Roger Corman’s Fantastic Four movie all have special cameos in The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
>Loved Gunn’s Superman, hopes Ultraman returns as Bizarro in the sequel.
