The Creative Overhaul
The series underwent significant creative changes during a pause in production, triggered by the SAG-AFTRA actors’ strike. This break provided Marvel Studios an opportunity to reassess and steer the show in a new creative direction.

Integrating Existing Footage
Despite these changes, elements from the existing footage are expected to be seamlessly integrated into the final product. This approach not only preserves the initial efforts but also adds layers to the evolving narrative.
