In Russia, they promise to launch their own movie universes with their own superheroes in the coming years. Work is already underway, said Alexander Akopov, general director of the STS TV channel, on the forum Russian Creative Week – Siberia. He notes that many teams are involved in projects.
Everyone is working on this right now. Lots of people, at least the ones I know. Everyone understands that there is a demand for it. It’s technically quite difficult, it won’t show up in the morning. But what we will see in the very near future Russian superhero stories will definitely happen.
For example, he answered the question of whether there will be import substitution in this area. At the same time, the head of the TV channel has not expressed any specifics, so it is not clear what kind of heroes they will be and when the first films will be shown.
And the head of the creative production company Headshot, Philip Nesterov, said that domestic filmmakers do not have enough material.
The fact is that the DC, Marvel and the like have a fundamental history based on books or comics. And now we are creating universes through comics – nothing has been written yet, but they are already cinematically creating the universe
Finally, Ilya Bachurin, general manager of the Mosconcert company, clarified that Russian superhero movie universes, although they will appear, are unlikely to be as large as the American ones. The reason is simple: a smaller language coverage and a different “cultural code”, which makes Russian superheroes incomprehensible to others.
