more criticism of late than it has in the past, with fans complaining of a dip in quality in recent years as the slate has expanded.<\/p>\n<p>Fans had become accustomed to a whole host of series and films being released each year, with 2021 for instance seeing five TV series set in the MCU arriving on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/disneyplus\/\">Disney Plus<\/a>, and four films being released in cinemas.<\/p>\n<p>However, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/movies\/deadpool-3-release-date-ryan-reynolds\/\">Deadpool &amp; Wolverine<\/a> the only MCU film currently on the schedule for this year, and only one more live action series, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/agatha-harkness-coven-chaos-release-date\/\">Agatha<\/a>, currently known to be releasing in 2024, it seems the release pattern for Marvel Studios is slowing down \u2013 and Disney CEO Bob Iger has confirmed this is fully intentional.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on Disney\u2019s fiscal Q2 earnings call, as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/business\/business-news\/marvel-studios-cut-back-films-tv-shows-1235892364\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener
