It's Time for Change in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so say the Russo Brothers
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been providing fans with enjoyable films for the past decade, but that can't last unless the people behind the films can take the initiative and grow the franchise, offering something new for long-term fans worldwide.
Joe Russo recently spoke with EW in advance of the upcoming release of Captain America: Civil War: "You bild things up and people enjoy the experiences you've built up. But then you kind of reach an apex or you reach a climax, a moment where you go, 'This structure is really going to start to be repetitious if we do this again, so what do we do now?'
"So now, you deconstruct it. We're in the deconstruction phase with 'Civil War' and leading into 'Infinity War,' which are the culmination films."
The Russo brothers seem like the right fit to carry the franchise into the future, as they seem genuinely committed to change and development. They seem to emphasise a need for risk-taking and storytelling.
Detractors will say that the formula has long since become stale and repetitious, but the numbers don't lie. While it's possible that Marvel wouldn't see a dip if they kept doing what they're doing, change, even in the superhero genre, can only be a good thing.
