Variety<\/a> that the limited four-episode run was due to \u201ctime and money.\u201d He said, \u201cIt\u2019s \u2018Hey, this is all you got\u2019\u2026 We were creating a thing and didn\u2019t know what the limit was going to be.\u201d They initially considered the project as a feature film, but contractual restrictions involving Spider-Man\u2019s rights under Sony blocked the movie from moving forward.<\/p>\nAndrews told Variety, \u201cWe were going to make it a movie and have it released. It should be an epic, it\u2019s gonna be two, two and a half hours long.\u201d When those plans fell through, the creative team adapted the project into \u201cfour chapters in a book.\u201d He added that while the shorter format worked, \u201cit would have been awesome if we had more time to make each installment a little bit longer, just so we could milk those quiet moments.\u201d<\/p>\n
The director emphasized that the choice was not creative but logistical. \u201cWe thought, \u2018Well, let\u2019s make it a movie,\u2019\u201d he explained. \u201cBut, there were contractual issues because of Spider-Man in it. So, there are Sony rules that come into play. We were like, \u2018Oh s\u2013t, that\u2019s a thing? Oh no, okay, I guess we can\u2019t do that.\u2019\u201d This decision shaped the structure of the series into concise, fast-paced episodes.<\/p>\n
Despite the constraints, Andrews and Marvel Animation laid the groundwork for future stories. He said there was \u201cso much material\u201d left untold and revealed, \u201cBrad [Winderbaum] and I already know how the next one would start already.\u201d Their original concept leaned toward a medieval fantasy setting, but they scaled it back to keep familiar characters recognizable. He suggested that strong fan response could push Marvel to provide more time and resources for a potential second season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
