Disney boss Bob Iger admits Marvel "lost a little focus by making too much," and says Thunderbolts is "the first and best example" of "better quality" after refocusing on movies

From left to right: Alexei Shostakov / Red Guardian (David Harbour), Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) and John Walker (Wyatt Russell) in the former Avengers Tower in Thunderbolts*.

Disney CEO Bob Iger says that Thunderbolts* is the "first and best example" of the MCU's return to form as Marvel Studios once again ramps up to focus on fewer, higher quality movies than on a wide spate of streaming series.

Speaking on a conference call with Wall Street analysts (via Deadline), Iger says that Disney's "zeal to flood our streaming platform with more content" was a misstep, reiterating some of his previous comments about the studio's push to release numerous Marvel and Star Wars streaming series in the wake of its introduction of the Disney Plus platform.
