Hulu Looks to Add Marvel Scripted Series: ‘We’re Excited About the Possibility’
By Movieguide® Staff
Disney+ established itself as the home for Marvel spinoff series such as WANDAVISION, THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER, and LOKI.
However, there are rumors that Marvel could begin to release new content on the sister platform, Hulu, according to Hulu’s head of scripted series, Jordan Helman.
“Marvel continues to be an incredibly important partner and one of the biggest generators of content within the Disney ecosystem so we’re excited about the possibility of what may lie in the future with regards to the Hulu/Marvel relationship,” Helman told Deadline.
Hulu has struggled to launch their previously planned slate of animated series, nixing both HOWARD THE DUCK and TIGRA & DAZZLER. Moreover, the streamer canceled their most recent live-action series, HELSTROM.
While Helman said that he has yet to talk with Marvel Studios or Kevin Feige, he said that “given Marvel’s place in the Disney ecosystem, it seems like an incredibly robust avenue for future projects.”
Hulu hopes for a successful launch for their new Marvel animated show M.O.D.O.K. Helman hopes that future Marvel projects, like HIT MONKEY, opens the door for Hulu to become home to Marvel’s more prominent names.
However, Helman noted that Hulu plans to “double down” on their adult animated originals, which could segregate a younger audience.
