With the release of the streaming service Disney+ right around the corner (and with Avengers: Endgame even closer), you bet anticipation is pretty high. Marvel fans have had to witness the slow and painful death of the quality Defenders universe on Netflix, and as such, many are looking to Disney+ as a way to get their quality superhero TV fix with more tangible consequences.

As we already know, Marvel Studios will be producing high-budget limited series on the streaming service that will utilize characters (as well as their actors) from the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. So far, the one leading the charge is Loki, and the next one we know most about is the Vision and Scarlet Witch series. But how will these shows exactly tie into the timeline established in the films? Speaking with /Film, he made it clear that they’ll be pretty flexible with that, not unlike how they are with the movies.

“It will be MCU proper. Sometimes it will take place as Captain Marvel did in a time before current events, sometimes it will take place during.”

Okay, makes sense. But that wasn’t the most exciting part for me. Here’s a more interesting thing he says:

“What I will say, whatever happens in those, in those shows and with characters that have been in the films, they’ll undergo transformations, not Loki necessarily, but will undergo transformations in their series and those transformations will be reflected in their next film appearances because we’ve been developing long form narrative stories for Disney plus at the exact same time that we’ve been developing a post-[Avengers: Endgame] MCU, we’ve been able to do something we’ve never done before, which is interweave them from the start, from the plant.”

So there’s some good and bad here. The good is that these series will have full emotional arcs for fans to latch onto. So, in spite of them being TV experiences, they will not be simple throwaway stories without consequences. That’s great! What’s less great is that this further stretches the audience thin, making the movies and the universe as a whole as inaccessible as ever to newbies. However, given how long and expansive it currently is, they’ve already pretty much proven that doesn’t matter. It’s all about making the films that serve as good jumping-on points every now and then.
