After almost a year of no new releases, Marvel fans can finally be satisfied with new stories set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But Marvel is taking the slow and steady route with its Disney+ releases, letting weeks pass by between new title drops, withFalcon and the Winter Soldierset to debut on the streamer two weeks after Marvel Studios' inauguralWandaVisioncomes to an end. But for fans who are alreadydemanding to know the answersto the slow-burning sitcom satire, two weeks may just be too long. Which may be why Disney+ is debutingMarvel Studios' Assembled, a new making-of documentary series to keep Marvel fans entertained in those long Marvel-less weeks.
Disney+ announced the debut ofMarvel Studios' Assembled, a documentary series of specials that go “behind the scenes of the series and movies of the MCU.” The first special,Assembled: The Making of WandaVision, will debut on Disney+ onMarch 12,2021, just one week after the Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany-starring series airs its final episode.

Disney+ has released its fair share of behind-the-scenes documentary series for Marvel,Star Wars, and Disney properties. There’sOne Day at Disney, which highlights the employees of Disney’s vast empire. There’sInside Pixar, which gives an inside look into the people, artistry, and culture of Pixar Animation Studios. And of course, there’sDisney Gallery: The Mandalorian, which features interviews with the cast and crew ofThe Mandalorian, behind-the-scenes footage, and roundtable conversations that explore the production of the series.
The latter probably provides the most inspiration toMarvel Studios' Assembled, as the template for a glorified Blu-ray bonus feature repackaged as a docuseries, with loads of behind-the-scenes content and fun glimpses on set.Assembledcould even be seen as a follow-up to the Disney+ docuseriesMarvel Studios: Legends,which revisits the “iconic moments of the MCU” characters who will be getting their own shows, beginning with Wanda and Vision.
Documentary series are an easy and economical way to provide more original content for a streamer — they’re relatively quick and cheap to make, and can pad out anyscarcity of original scripted shows on Disney+’s part. It could be seen as fluff, yes, but it will provide some entertaining bonus content for fans of upcoming Marvel Disney+ shows likeFalcon and the Winter Soldier,Loki,Ms. Marvel, Hawkeye, and beyond. And soon we’ll be able to find out how they did those funBewitched-style effects onWandaVision.
