In the streaming age, content is key; you have to have something somebody wants or something no one else has. And it seems that Disney is pulling out all the stops for its new streaming service, titled Disney Play.
According to Variety, Disney is looking to develop a number of limited series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. These series, set at around six to eight episodes each, would focus on supporting characters within the universe such as Loki and Scarlet Witch.
Unlike other small screen efforts, these shows are expected to go all out as Tom Hiddleston and Elizabeth Olsen are expected to reprise their roles. The budgets are expected to be hefty, rivaling those of a major studio’s productions. Marvel Studios will produce the shows and Kevin Feige is expected to take a hands-on role in their development.
Marvel Studios and Disney have declined to comment at this time.

As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment – the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.
Avengers: Infinity War is now on Digital and Blu-ray, while the Untitled Avengers 4 hits theaters on May 3rd, 2019.
