Update: 2021-07-01

Description

On this week's episode of Millions of Screens, Ben, Libby, and Leo discuss how Marvel has eschewed the typical moniker of showrunner for its first three series in favor of head writer for Jac Schaeffer ("WandaVision"), Malcolm Spellman ("The Falcon and the Winter Soldier"), and Michael Waldron ("Loki"). How has this change affected these first MCU series out of the gate? Additionally, the group discusses "The Many Saints of Newark" trailer and the news that "Succession" will be returning this fall.
