The Big Picture The cost of Disney's gamble on streaming has been laid bare following the total costs of some of their most recent Marvel Studios productions becoming known. According to movie econonics expert Caroline Reid of Forbes, Disney has lost over $11 billion via costs associated with streaming since the launch of Disney+, and a key aspect of this has been directly attributed to Marvel series.
How Much Did Disney Spend on Marvel Shows? Close The first series to have the costs revealed was Moon Knight. The six-episode series, which premiered on Disney+ in March of 2022, featured Oscar Isaac in the leading role. He portrayed a mystical superhero, endowed with abilities by the Egyptian moon deity, Khonshu. That series, which was run by Egyptian Mohamed Diab, the first Arab director to lead a Marvel project, actually came in under budget at $147.9 million.
However, the $141.3 million spent of the second season of Loki was well worth the expenditure. The series was shot at the iconic Pinewood Studios, located just outside of London, and at various locations throughout the UK's capital. Streaming services typically keep their show budgets under wraps, incorporating them into their general expenditures without detailing the spending on individual projects.
