Marvel Spotlight doesn't necessarily mean less MCU content, just less content that's intimately connected.
The Big Picture If you've been keeping up to date with Marvel's upcoming Echo miniseries, then you'll know that the series is the first to be launched under the new Marvel Spotlight banner . Head of Streaming Brad Winterbaum made the announcement about the launch of the new banner, saying that Marvel Spotlight "gives us a platform to bring more grounded, character-driven stories to the screen, and in the case of Echo, focusing on street-level stakes over larger MCU continuity.
Echo Streaming exclusively on Disney, the origin story of Echo revisits Maya Lopez, whose ruthless behavior in New York City catches up with her in her hometown. She must face her past, reconnect with her Native American roots and embrace the meaning of family and community if she ever hopes to move forward.
In essence, the "new" Marvel Spotlight has the same objective; introducing a new character and gauging interest. If the new character captures the audience's fancy, then they are likely at some point to join the main MCU continuity. If the character is a dud, they can be pushed aside without having to try and explain in the main MCU continuity what happened to them. This would be the one area in which Marvel Spotlight actually has some benefit.
Bob Iger, not all that long ago, candidly admitted that Marvel overextended itself by increasing content, resulting in "diluted focus and attention" and subpar VFX. How does Marvel Spotlight remedy that? It doesn't. Let's go back to grade school math. Say you have 10 apples that you are selling at the market. One day, you decide that seven of those apples will be at the front of the stand, and the other three just off to the side. How many apples do you have now? The same 10.
