In an interview with ComicBook.com, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige discussed how characters are chosen to appear in the movies versus on TV and the factors in making those decisions.
Feige said the following:
“It varies. It’s the internal group of us at Marvel Studios and then, of course, conversations with Alan Horn, the chairman of the studio, and it varies. It varies in terms of characters who audiences like and want to see more of, which is how you get to Ragnarok, or characters that we know are great and have wonderful supporting characters and literal worlds that we can tap into like Panther and Wakanda. So, it always varies. Now, we’re at a point where there are a lot of both.”
