Marvel Studios’ budget for their upcoming Disney Plus shows has reportedly been revealed.
Disney appears to be going all-in on their upcoming streaming service. Recent television shows have raised the stakes when it comes to budget, with shows like Game of Thrones and Stranger Things costing networks upwards to $100M plus per season. The Mandalorian will be Disney Plus’ first big-budgeted series out of the gate when the service launches this November. The Mandalorian is said to be in the $100M plus range as well and based off the trailer, it looks like one of the most cinematic shows we’ve ever seen.
Marvel Studios will also be bringing content to Disney Plus and Variety has reported a big budget for those shows as well. For the first time, Marvel Studios is producing television shows and it sounds like the upcoming event series will be on par with The Mandalorian. In the report, it is said that the Marvel Studios shows will cost around $100-150M each. For reference, the Marvel-Netflix shows had roughly half as much money for their budget.
