Disney CEO Bob Iger stated that the studio will reduce its focus on TV series and concentrate on creating high-quality feature films. According to him, this "consolidation and focus" will help achieve the necessary quality and restore audience trust.

One of the first examples of this new strategy is the film Thunderbolts*. In the future, Marvel fans can expect more such films—with well-crafted scripts, strong characters, and cinematic ambition. Iger also expressed confidence in other upcoming releases, including the Lilo & Stitch remake and the Fantastic Four reboot.

This statement came amid the success of a new comic book blockbuster, which grossed $70 million in U.S. theaters and $88 million internationally during its opening week. The total amounts to $165 million.

The key now is to avoid a box office drop in the second week, as happened with Brave New World, which also had a successful opening. However, that film suffered from poor reviews, whereas the new film holds a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
