Kevin Feige Talks About Avengers 4 And Marvel Phase 4
Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige opens up about the company’s plans after it makes Avengers 4 and concludes Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
With Avengers: Infinity War set for release next year, questions are hovering over not only the untitled fourth Avengers film but the future of the franchise itself. More specifically, fans have wondered if the movie will be the last appearance of some of the MCU’s biggest players. Although Feige didn’t name names, he confirmed that the end of Phase 3 would also see the end of certain characters’ story arcs, a fact that he said put additional pressure on Marvel to make the next two films count.
While it’s already been established that the proposed sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming will be the first movie in Phase 4, it’s unclear where it will take the franchise. Those who hoped that it may involve other characters from Marvel’s Spider-Man comics were shot down when Sony Pictures’ Amy Pascal weighed in on the subject. Per Superherohype:
“Here’s what we’re doing: all these characters are a part of the Marvel comic book universe,” Pascal tells Comic Book. “In that universe, they are all related to each other. Kevin [Feige] makes characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. These characters are separate, except for Spidey, who belongs in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is why he’s there.”
Feige, however, struck a very different note on the matter of additional Spider-Man characters proliferating into the MCU, replying to a question about the possibility of Venom showing up with a simple “We never say never.”
