Creator Andor Tony Gilroy has theory as to why Marvel Films fail (unique)

If anything connects “Star Wars” and Marvel’s cinematic universe together (except that they both own one of the largest conglomers on the planet, of course), maybe the mallow Filmmaking process for any particular film or show. The superhero franchise has become renowned for committing to production without a finished script regularly, such as Anyone who watched “American Captain: Brave New World” can certify. In the meantime, that galaxy far, far away has encountered similar challenges in recent years; There is a reason why there has been no “Star Wars” film in theaters since the mess of “Star Wars: Episode Ix – The Rise of Skywalker,” after all.

“Andor” was supposed to be changing a completely different speed, and Season 2 certainly fulfilled those expectations … But this series that is almost generally had to be commended for its own increasing pains to transform into this last, polished achievement. During a recent swelling interview with Ben Pearson /Film’s. When asked how “Andor” was first placed as a kind of adventure of friends-cop between Cassian Andor Diego Luna and Droid K-2So Alan Tudyk, Gilroy did not hesitate to explain why he chose much Different Path:

“At the show, it’s perfect. (K-2SO’s late presentation was) something I always intended. The versions they had from the show before, they were slick and they were interesting. They were not bad, but they had a fatal lack, it seemed to me that if that’s your show, we’re going to store the pilot doing that in the pilot you, do that in the pilot, what is you doing in the pilot, do so in the pilot in the pilot,

With that reference to storming the citadel and getting the disk, Gilroy seems to refer to a iteration of “Andor” which was to start more episodic and focused on MacGuffins … maybe take also Lots of inspiration from the last act of “Rogue One,” perhaps? That triggered another realization on the part of Gilroy in the interview, in fact, and went on to identify exactly how this intersects with some of the MCU’s troubles.

With the screenshots for chargers like “Michael Clayton” and the original “Bourne” trilogy under his belt, Tony Gilroy knows some or two about how to write movies. By all accounts, Helped his involvement on “Rogue One” to save a very turbulent productionAnd, obviously, his work on “Andor” speaks for himself. So when it aims directly on even one of the most successful Marvel movies ever, well, we tend to listen. Speaking to /film, Gilroy went on to describe how the initial field for “Andor” (probably by the original show Stephen Schiff) also incorporated the wider problems with Marvel in general. Funny, he could not quite Remember the central plot device that is at the heart of “The Avengers” in 2012 off its head, but it is clear why its reference to “getting the disk” would immediately remind him of the MCU in the very next breath:

“Trying to get the, what do they call? I can’t remember the box name. What is the f *** is the box name in ‘The Avengers’? For what are the f *** they go for? (…) The Tesseract! All, then you all do that, then all do that, then that makes it all, you are to do it all.

While this may seem like taking hot at first, Gilroy is 100% accurate to call this franchise out for relying on the same storytelling method over and over again. Nothing is essentially wrong with Macguffins, but so much From the Marvel movies that followed “The Avengers” it seemed completely crowded with their own taking the Tesseract – which, of course, was nothing more than varied infinity stones. To be fair, this is probably only one reason why the MCU eventually suffered a steep decline. But if “Andor” had pulled a page out of a similar playbook, it is safe to say that the series would have arrived anywhere close to the level of grandeur it eventually has.
