I agree. I don't understand the rush at all.
I saw a tweet earlier today basically saying that, cinematically speaking, The Lion King will mark "peak Disney" and then there could be a steady decline from here on out (relatively speaking)...
- After December, no Star Wars until 2022.
- Marvel will likely never top the success/hype of Endgame.
- Disney has burned through a lot of their most popular/valuable live-action remakes already.
Sure, Star Wars will be huge for years to come, Marvel will continue to be insanely popular, and there are still plenty of animated titles left to adapt for live-action, but none of them - in any of the three "franchises" - will likely ever top the hype/popularity/box office success of Endgame/Lion King this summer. In other words, after this summer, and after Episode IX in December, across all three "franchises," there's going to be a distinct, all-around, "B team" vibe from here on out (with a few "A team" characters/properties still to go, of course). I get where they are with Star Wars and Marvel, at least, but Disney definitely could have spread the live-action remakes out a bit more...
