The Marvel Cinematic Universe often is the gold commonplace with regards to film franchises. Quite a few different movie franchises have tried, and most have failed, to repeat the success of the corporate’s first few phases. In the meantime, Disney’s different huge world franchise Star Wars has had extra ups and downs on its path to sucess. Now Lucasfilm’s artistic chief Dave Filoni says he’s taking “inspiration” from the MCU and Kevin Feige.
Following Rosario Dawson and extra showing at Star Wars Celebration in Japan, we have now much more visibility into what’s happening on the earth of upcoming Star Wars motion pictures and TV sequence. Talking with ScreenRant, Lucasfilm CCO Dave Filoni admits that constructing the franchise with a number of initiatives in growth directly is “tough” which solely makes him extra impressed with what Kevin Feige was capable of do with the MCU. He mentioned…
So we’re figuring all this stuff out and each challenge and yeah, it is like challenge growth. They do not all develop on the identical time. However in Star Wars it is tough since you want sure issues to go earlier than each other in the event that they’re in the identical area of the best way the viewers will understand it, which is why, and I mentioned this in an earlier interview, I actually, I am fascinated by what Kevin Feige was capable of pull off. I believe it is so particular and so distinctive.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe was actually not like something that had been tried earlier than. The primary set of films, a set of superhero origin tales that then got here collectively in The Avengers, was one thing completely new, and the franchise solely ballooned from there. Whereas many have argued the MCU has struggled just lately, on the entire, there’s nonetheless nothing fairly prefer it.
Star Wars actually tried to do one thing like its personal model of the MCU. Within the years since Disney purchased Lucasfilm, we have now seen the variety of Star Wars motion pictures in existence practically double, with quite a few Disney+ sequence as well as. Nonetheless, even Disney has typically admitted that Star Wars has grown too quick. Clearly, what labored for Marvel didn’t work completely right here.
A part of the rationale the MCU mannequin doesn’t match completely with Star Wars has to due with a significantly expanded timeline. Nonetheless, whereas Star Wars franchise progress could go in another way, Filoni is clearly wanting on the MCU as inspiration that one thing like that may be finished with the galaxy far, far-off. He continued…
The Marvel Cinematic Universe and what he was capable of accomplish on a timeline and completely place all these components. It is an unbelievable ability and an actual… It is actually outstanding. We aren’t working like they do. We’re a bit totally different in Star Wars as a result of our timeline strikes somewhat bit in another way. However I take a number of inspiration even from that. And I’ve talked to Kevin and what an awesome man. And so we’re at an awesome second.
With a number of Star Wars motion pictures in growth that now appear more likely to truly occur, and much more reveals on the horizon (you’ll entry with a Disney+ subscription), the franchise is actually trying to broaden at a quick charge. Star Wars is actually hoping to seek out success on par with Marvel’s excessive level, whether or not that can occur stays to be seen.
