The future of cinema no longer lies in individual blockbusters, but in entire franchises and universes. What Disney already achieved with the MCU should now work again. The mouse company is currently working on the Magic Kingdom universe.
“Avengers: Endgame” could only be the most successful film of all time because so many people already knew the characters from their own films. In addition to the fans of the Avengers, fans of Doctor Strange, the Guardians Of The Galaxy, Spider-Man and many other heroes also met in the cinemas for “Avengers: Endgame”. Nobody needs to emphasize that the project was a huge success. Ever since Marvel made the MCU so successful, every company that owns multiple film rights has tried to franchise them.
Disney wants to create another franchise next to the MCU and the “Star Wars” universe. The Magic Kingdom Universe will include all of Disney’s fairytale films and many other well-known series such as “Pirates of the Caribbean”. Individual works such as “Jungle Cruise” are also to be included in the new universe.
If the plan works, the Pirates of the Caribbean could one day meet Dwayne Johnson in Jungle Cruise. Maybe even some fairy tale princesses get involved. How exactly the different genres should be united is not yet clear. The only sure thing is how it should start. The Disney + series “The Society Of Explorers And Adventurers” is supposed to kick off the new universe. When this will appear is not yet clear at this point in time. What it will be about and which actors will be featured in the new series will only be revealed at a later point in time.
