If you’re a Disney+ subscriber and a Marvel fan, then you definitely can’t miss Secret Invasion, a series that promises to please everyone. It must be said that on paper everything was desirable: the return of Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), a charming actor, the story of aliens invading the Earth… and yet, after 6 short episodes, the conclusion is this. It’s OK: Secret Invasion is far from certain.
And this is not the fault of the budget. In this paper Forbes revealed that the secret invasion would cost Disney and Marvel more than $211 million. That’s far more than summer blockbusters Barbie (100 million) and Oppenheimer (100 million).
The studios really had to spend more than they should have. And if the reason isn’t given, we imagine it’s directly related to the 4 months of filming they had to do. A new screenwriter would even be hired at this point, trying to raise the bar. True, Secret Invasion requires quite a lot of VFX, and the final battle between Gia (Emilia Clarke) and Gravik (Kingsley Ben-Adir) must have cost an astronomical amount of money…
Apparently, this was not enough to convince the audience. Also according to Forbes, Secret Invasion’s ratings on Disney+ have been disastrous, making it one of Marvel’s least-streamed series. With 994,000 views in just 5 days, we’re a long way from Loki (2.5 million) and Moon Knight (1.8 million). Worse, its final episode is the best of all Marvel programsLowest fan rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Marvel and Disney have been working on a strategy change for several months now. It must be said that since the launch of the platform in 2020, the studio spends more than it earns. In order to save $5 billion, Disney boss Bob Iger chose to remove fifteen original content from the catalog. What should attract the wrath of the teams working on it.
The man has also been the target of all the attacks during the strike that is currently raging in Hollywood. The Secret Invasion flop, which isn’t the only big house flop right now, shows just how bad the strategy was…
