Abandoning the approach to have defined the cinematic universe’s small screen storytelling ever since WandaVision, Kevin Feige has realized that trying to upend the established rules of television isn’t working, with showrunners and pilots now set to be par for the course whenever a new series is announced.

Of course, the question remains as to what happens to the ones already announced – Vision Quest.

Marvel was always going to slow down its focus on quantity over quality, but Wonder Man had already started shooting with Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Ben Kingsley, and reportedly Ed Harris before the strikes shut it down. Of course, nothing can be taken as fact until the company es comment itself, but maybe the smart move would be for the MCU to turn its hypothetical pilots into Special Presentations if they don’t end up being ordered to series.
