Steve Jobs' life model decoy Steven Spielberg predicts superhero movies will "Go the way of the Western," which I don't necessarily disagree with. Unlike the actual characters, actors age and it becomes a game of casting and recasting which makes it all but impossible to make ridiculously long comic like storylines to last more than a decade or two at best, which in turn requires reboots. Fantastic Four, and to a degree Spider-Man, both prove that you can only realy go to that well so often before someone pees in it. I imagine it'll go more Zombie movie than Western, though. They'll be spread out far more than they are now, or maybe all transfer to TV/Netflix shows.
CBR, on MCU development changes wrote:
Following the announcement that Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige will now report directly to Disney Studio Chief Alan Horn instead of Marvel Entertainment CEO Isaac Perlmutter, word is circulating from BirthMoviesDeath that the Marvel Creative Committee has disbanded.
The group, which once oversaw the development of Marvel Studios productions, included members like President of Marvel Entertainment Alan Fine, superstar comics writer Brian Michael Bendis, Marvel Comics publisher Dan Buckley and Marvel Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada. The Committee would offer notes and thoughts on projects as they developed from script to screen.
Though Marvel's films have been almost unanimously embraced by audiences worldwide, BirthMoviesDeath reports that the Committee was a source of frustration for many working on the productions, focusing "on details of nit-picky science that ignored the general tone of the script itself" and causing director Edgar Wright to depart the "Ant-Man" film. Additionally, as many of the Committee members hold other important jobs within the publisher, this process was often slow and affected the work of the filmmakers.
"Captain America: Civil War" and perhaps "Doctor Strange" will likely be the last films overseen by the Committee and Perlmutter. Feige, Louis D'Esposito and Victoria Alonso will now reportedly helm the projects without the Committee's influence as the studio shifts gears and heads into Phase Three.
A version of the Committee may survive at Marvel TV, according to BirthMoviesDeath, as that division remains under Perlmutter's control.
