Marvel TV is changing strategy after four years of hits and misses on Disney Plus, with less big-name Avengers actors leading projects and a bigger focus on stories that can span several seasons.

Brad Winderbaum, Marvel's head of television and animation, told The Hollywood Reporter this week that 2025 will see the transition to a slightly different television model. The studio is now aiming for one or two live-action shows and two animated shows a year, and mostly avoiding big-name Avengers actors.
