9 May - Disney will be limiting the number of Marvel superhero movies and series to be released annually, in response to the "superhero fatigue" that has deeply affected the studios involved.

This was confirmed by Disney CEO Bob Iger in a conference call, saying that they will only release "two or three good [Marvel] films" a year instead of four, and to cut the number of spinoffs series based on the franchise.

"We are stemmed from a desire in the past to increase volume. We are slowly going to decrease volume," he said, adding that he feels "overall" great about how things are shaping up.
