MCU fans lament quietly cancelled series: 'I was looking forward to it'

For the last few years, Disney Plus has had a show streaming that looked behind the scenes of the biggest MCU projects, whether they be films or TV shows.

It was branded as MCU Assembled, and the show would look at how the projects were made, often featuring interviews with the cast who make up the MCU.

It appears that the show isn’t happening any longer, as the latest episode, which would have covered Captain America: Brave New World, hasn’t appeared on the streaming service.

This was spotted by an MCU fan over on Reddit, who created a thread lamenting the loss of the show.

Krimreaper1 explained, “The Assembled episodes are usually added a week of the title’s Disney+’s debut. Cap 4 was added 12 days ago. Every title since phase 4 has had one, until seemingly now. While the film was disappointing to me, I still was looking forward to seeing the behind the scenes footage.”

While Disney hasn’t specifically said the show has been cancelled, it is odd that Assembled hasn’t appeared for one of the biggest films in the MCU for the past few years.

Further into the thread, several users point out that Agatha All Along got an Assembled episode, but it was uploaded to YouTube rather than Disney Plus.

“They only put it on YouTube - probably because it's cheaper. These were probably adding to the (marketing?) budgets for these projects, and that's why they're being phased out. It's a shame, though,” replied vivianvisionsburner.

This could very well be a cost-cutting effort on the part of Disney, who has to pay to host these shows on their servers, and if the viewing figures are low, it doesn’t warrant hosting the show.

Perhaps we’ll see it emerge on YouTube instead, where it’s cheaper to host, and they earn ad-revenue, but for now, this behind the scenes show seems to have ended.
