When Disney+ launched, it allowed Marvel Studios to expand the MCU\u2014for better or worse\u2014by bringing it to the small screen. That included\u00a0launching\u00a0Marvel Studios: Assembled, a series of documentaries produced for the streamer that took fans behind the scenes of the Multiverse Saga’s movies and TV shows.<\/p>\n

The first of them\u00a0premiered in March 2021 and explored\u00a0“The Making of WandaVision.”<\/p>\n

Documentaries for\u00a0The Falcon and The Winter Soldier,\u00a0Loki\u00a0season 1,\u00a0Black Widow,\u00a0What If…?,\u00a0Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,\u00a0Hawkeye,\u00a0Eternals,\u00a0Moon Knight,\u00a0Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,\u00a0Ms. Marvel,\u00a0Thor: Love and Thunder,\u00a0She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and\u00a0Black Panther: Wakanda Forever\u00a0all followed in Phase 4.<\/p>\n

For Phase 5, we\u00a0had\u00a0Assembled\u00a0specials for\u00a0Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,\u00a0Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,\u00a0Secret Invasion,\u00a0Loki\u00a0season 2,\u00a0Echo,\u00a0The Marvels,\u00a0X-Men ’97,\u00a0Deadpool & Wolverine, and\u00a0Agatha All Along. Unfortunately, none of 2025’s releases have been the subject of a documentary since then, and the series was officially scrapped in June.<\/p>\n

The DisInsider<\/a>\u00a0has taken a deep dive into the cancellation of Assembled, explaining, “Industry insiders say that Disney+ and Marvel Studios have no plans to bring the show back anytime soon.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The site adds, “Disney did not cancel Assembled because people hated it. The truth is much more boring: money. Every minute of content on Disney+ costs the company something, even a documentary that mostly uses footage shot during regular production.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Those costs add up. When Disney looked at the numbers, the viewership for Assembled episodes simply didn\u2019t justify keeping the series alive,”<\/strong> they explain.\u00a0“The grim truth about streaming is that each show, even a low-budget documentary, has to work hard to get on the service.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The report later points out that the Assembled documentary for Agatha All Along was released\u00a0for free on YouTube, meaning it wasn’t a Disney+ exclusive. As they put it, “That action made it apparent the management no longer felt the program would attract or retain customers.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Disney has been looking to cut streaming costs in recent years, so the cancellation wasn’t a huge surprise. It’s a shame, though, especially as the “making-of” featurettes accompanying Digital and Blu-ray releases are typically pretty short and lacking in substance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Marvel Studios might be relieved not to have to produce them, as it’s one less job at a time when the studio is looking to prioritise quality over quantity. At the same time, it would be pretty challenging to take us behind the scenes of troubled productions like Captain America: Brave New World and Daredevil: Born Again…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When Disney+ launched, it allowed Marvel Studios to expand the MCU\u2014for better or worse\u2014by bringing it to the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":603553,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3935],"tags":[823,77,189221,3943,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-603552","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-disney","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-marvel-assembled","11":"tag-movies","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115639285661391131","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603552","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=603552"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603552\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/603553"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=603552"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=603552"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=603552"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
