Brad Winderbaum, Marvel Studios' Head of Television, Streaming and Animation, said at New York Comic Con that the studio has learned lessons about connecting its movies and TV shows and wants future projects to feel more standalone, according to collider.com.
Winderbaum said Marvel wants upcoming TV and film projects to work like comic books, where readers can follow their favorite characters without having to buy every other title.
He said the studio has thought a lot about the cross-pollination of movies and television and has learned from the past few years of making television about when that approach works.

His comments come after a period in which Disney+ launched entire television series whose characters and storylines became important in the movies, sometimes without those characters appearing on the big screen first.
