Variety reports that Marvel Studios is putting movie-scale budgets behind each of the Disney+ projects, meaning something around the $100-150 million mark. With each of these seasons running between six and eight episodes, this would place episode budgets at between approximately $12m and $25m.For comparison, Variety reported in 2014 that the first slate of Marvel Netflix shows - the debut seasons of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist - had a budget total of $200million, equating to $3.8 million per episode. That’s significantly lower than the money being set aside for the new Marvel shows; effectively one season of Disney+ Marvel costs as much as two or three of the Netflix shows.The Variety report also details that Marvel Studios and its boss, Kevin Feige, has held meetings to discuss how to ensure the visual standards of the Marvel films is maintained for the television shows. While the shows will have comparable budgets to the films, this will be for six-to-eight hours of footage, rather than the two hours of a film, and so maintaining that signature MCU look will no doubt require some thought.Meanwhile, it appears that Marvel Television - the division of Marvel that has produced the Netflix shows, Hulu's Runaways, and Agents of SHIELD - will be phased out of live-action production. Variety reports that Jeph Loeb’s television department is unable to complete the same kind of projects as Feige’s Marvel Studios, due to Feige having access to the MCU collection of characters and “way bigger budgets”.With Agents of SHIELD coming to a close this year, and the Ghost Rider show having been cancelled, it will leave Marvel Television with just Runaways on Hulu and Cloak & Dagger on Freeform.
