Speaking at a conference, Iger was asked if Marvel would continue with its current sequel-oriented model.

“Sequels generally worked well for us,” he said. “For example, do you need a third and a fourth? Or is it time to move on to other characters?

“There’s nothing inherently wrong with the Marvel brand in any way,” he added. “I think we just have to look at what characters and stories we’re mining, and if you look at Marvel’s trajectory over the next five years, you’re going to see a lot of news.”
