As Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige recently explained, it’s got more to do with allowing them to take risks down the road.
As long as people keep showing up, Marvel Studios will almost certainly keep up with three movies per year.
When the Marvel Cinematic Universe got its start, Marvel Studios was putting out two movies per year, but that number recently increased to three per year.
Kevin Feige has been out promoting the upcoming release of Ant-Man and the Wasp, the studio’s third release this year.
