Marvel Studios has been rather quiet about its plans for the Marvel Cinematic Universe after the culmination of the third phase of the franchise, but now that Avengers: Endgame is fast approaching its release, president Kevin Feige can't help but hint at what the studio has prepared for everyone.
Attending the press tour for Avengers: Endgame earlier this weekend, Feige spoke in an interview with i09. During his discussion with the publication, the Marvel Studios executive admitted that earlier films in the MCU would be vastly different from those that would come after the second entry in Joe and Anthony Russo's two-part Avengers movie.
According to Feige, movies in the fourth phase of the MCU would look so much different from all of the films that have come before it.
"The slate that we're building over the next five years [is] not apples to apples," Feige revealed. "It is two very distinct things and I hope they'll feel very distinct."
"But there is a similar mentality going into it, which is ‘How can we continue to tell stories with some of the characters that audiences already know and love in a unique way, in a different way, in a surprising way, of which we have a lot of plans and ideas and work already going into it?'" the Marvel producer decides to continue, "[Then] ‘How can we introduce new characters that even hardcore fans, comic fans, have barely known or barely heard of.' That's really exciting too."
This is definitely exciting news. We can probably expect more updates on the plans Marvel has for phase 4 of the MCU once Endgame finally hits screens – and that's not too far away now, is it? Our guess is that Marvel will try to move closer towards the Marvel Cosmic Universe, but then again, who knows really.
Avengers: Endgame premieres April 26, 2019.
