Going into Phase 4/5 do you think Disney should create a Marvel Channel? They could replace one of there existing channels or just create one from another company like they did with the SOAP Channel.
UPDATE
New Content
Lots and lots old and new content could be included in a Marvel Channel.
UPDATE
Old ContentDisney is mulling subscription-video services that would bring its Marvel and "Star Wars" properties directly to viewers.
According to multiple sources, including Advertising Age and Bloomberg Business, Disney CEO Bog Iger floated the possibility Tuesday afternoon in a conference call with Wall Street analysts.
"There is definitely an opportunity not just for ESPN, but for other Disney brands to openly put products in the marketplace that reach consumers directly," he said. "We think we have that opportunity with Disney-branded service. We may have an opportunity to bring out a Marvel-type product and possibly even 'Star Wars.'"
CBR News has reached out to Marvel for more information.
The world's largest entertainment company, Disney last year launched Disney Movies Anywhere, a free service that allows consumer to watch its movies -- including the Marvel catalog and "Big Hero 6" -- on web-ready televisions, mobile devices or computers.
But while Iger didn't offer many details, he did make clear that Disney, which owns ABC, ESPN, Disney Channel and Disney XD, among other channels, isn't planning to break away from the lucrative cable bundle.
"We are also mindful of the value of the expanded basic bundle to this company," he said. "And we do not believe there is any reason for us to attempt to take out some of this product, particularly ESPN, quickly or right now. In other words, there’s time."
Things I could see in a Marvel Channel (Key would be previously existing content being purchased if not already)
- The Netflix Shows should be on season 4/5 with new ones probably in development. Enough time will have passed to air Season 1 of these shows on a Marvel Channel.
- Agents of Shield could move to the Marvel Channel so not to be pressured by ratings requirements
- Same with Agent Carter
- All the old cartoons can air during the mornings from
- Have Famous Marvel Fans have commentary over old Marvel movies on Friday night movie specials
- An late night Anime block featuring repeats of X-Men/Wolverine/Ironman/Blade and Marvel Anime DTV's
New Content
- Create a new Marvel Animated Universe based off Secret Wars. Make a mid day block of connected cartoon action Shows.
- I think Marvel after the success of The Defenders will green light Marvel Feature Length One Shots on Netflix for lesser heroes like Hawkeye or Nebula. After a exclusive period on Netflix could air on Marvel Channel.
- Young Avengers or Runaways MCU connected live action could air on Marvel Channel.
- A voice acted series based on the Marvel MMORPG could be funny.
