While merging film and television might seem good, we have to remember why Marvel Studios left Marvel Entertainment in the first place. As usual, it was Perlmutter being Perlmutter. In other words, it's not as good as the alternative.

If so, it will be interesting to see when they will come out, and it will be more than just a coincidence than 'Captain Marvel' and 'Shazam' being a month apart from each other.

All I can say is, if Marvel ends up losing TWO female directors to DC (Patty Jenkins left Thor: The Dark World due to creative differences), that would be really something.
