Long before Disney+ even launched, it was announced that the streamer would be home to exciting original MCU content in the form of a slate of limited series produced by Marvel Studios, which produces the movies (as opposed to the essentially defunct Marvel Television, which had previously fielded the MCU's TV content). These series will feature the familiar stars of the films, and will tie more directly into upcoming features than any of the MCU's previous television offerings — such as Netflix's Marvel shows and ABC's recently-ended Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. — ever did. Originally, three series were announced prior to the launch of Disney+: Falcon and the Winter Soldier, WandaVision, and Loki. Post-launch, Disney announced a whopping five more: Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, She-Hulk, and Nick Fury. This bears out Chapek's assertion that the studio was already leaning in the direction of a tighter focus on streaming even before COVID.
