Gavin Edwards – Co-Author of the Book MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios
One of the fundamental insights into Marvel is the sense that anyone
can pop up at anytime. You are reading a Spiderman comic and then
the Fantastic Four drop by. They said what if we do that in movies?
That’s how you get 20 movies out of Iron Man.

Dave Gonzales – Co-Author of the Book MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios
We had 600 scripted TV shows last year. That is going to be greatly
reduced now that we are at the end of peak TV, now that the writers
and actors want to be fairly compensated. The overall result is going
to be less the TV.
