Marvel Studios uses the writers’ and actors’ strike to make difficult decisions and hit the reset button. After watching the first recorded episodes Daredevil: Born Againthe problem was obvious: the series simply wasn’t any good.
So, at the end of September, Kevin Feige and company fired a significant portion of the series’ producers. This includes Chris Ord and Matt Corman as head writers, as well as all the directors who will direct episodes for the first season. Marvel wants to do a creative reboot Daredevil: Born Againas part of an attempt to address a larger problem plaguing the most successful film franchise in history: the quality of its content.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe between 2008 and 2019 became a machine that was guaranteed to bring in hundreds and billions of dollars for every product released. He seemed invincible. At the rate of two or three films a year, it smashed the box office and, with very few exceptions, maintained fairly high critical ratings.
But after the premiere Avengers: Endgame, the departure of Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans, and the hiatus caused by the pandemic, everything has changed at Marvel Studios. They took on a mission that seemed impossible except for themselves: to start producing three to four series directly related to the films. Therefore, they must have at least the same level of quality, both in stories and production.
The result was significant drop in product qualitystories that audiences don’t quite like, new characters that don’t say anything, and a lot of superheroes that should have appeared sooner or later.
WITH Daredevil: Born Again They have a double mission. Make the series a success with audiences and niche critics, but make it at least as good as the character’s three seasons on Netflix.
More changes at Marvel Studios, Daredevil: Born Again and other series
According to him Hollywood Reporter after the absolute disaster that turned out to be Secret Invasion and the power struggles that were going on behind the scenes, Marvel Studios would be using a more traditional production methodology for its series.
Until now, there hasn’t been an action figure in a Marvel Cinematic Universe series. showrunner. Instead, it is the directors who run the day-to-day production. This is common in film, but doesn’t work in television content where scriptwriters and screenwriters have more weight.
This is why many creators/directors end up leaving. But after experience with She-Hulk in which Jessica Gao (writer and creator) was sidelined when Kat Coiro (director) joined the team. After problems in production and contracting COVID, Gao had to return and take charge of the series with the figure showrunner more traditional.
This forced Marvel Studios to change the way they produced series. The company will hire experienced television executives to move away from using film producers.
They will also appoint showrunner for every series. In this way, they will try to ensure greater creative coherence throughout the season.
But they will also move away from the very common production methodology for their films. Instead of filming an entire season and then seeing what to change through reshoots, they will order pilots and try to make the series last more than one season.
At the moment Daredevil: Born Again It doesn’t have a release date, but with this news, in addition to the writers’ and actors’ strikes, we’re going to have to wait a long time for its release.
