Marvel is set to make cinematic history this week with the release of Avengers: Infinity War. The movie will be a culmination of a ten-year journey that will bring some of our heroes stories to an end and act as the start of a new era for the MCU. We still arenโt entirely sure what this new era will entail and it turns out that we wonโt know until next year according to President of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige.
In an interview with Den of Geek US, Feige said that the there wonโt be any announcements at this yearโs San Diego Comic-Con:
โWe wonโt do anything until after this time next year. After that, I think weโll announce where weโre going. But we did a very big announcement in 2014 where we announced a lot of movies, and we added a few movies to it after that announcement. But it really felt important that we deliver on that before we do a big showcase of whatever is to come.โ
Ant-Man and the Wasp, Avengers 4 and Captain Marvel will be closing out Marvelโs epic phase 3 over the next year. We know that Spider-Man Homecoming 2, Black Panther 2, and Guardians of the Galaxy 3 will kick off phase 4 but I guess weโll just have to wait to find out more.
Keeping your fanbase in the dark about future plans is a risky decision by Feige and Marvel that could backfire in the future due to rabid fan speculation on whatโs to come. This news is coming a few days after another interview Feige had with IGN regarding the highly anticipated title of Avengers 4. Feige told the gaming site:
โIโve said before, itโs gotten entirely out of hand. And now will have no chance to living up to any expectations of what itโs gonna be. And it sort of backfired, if Iโm honest with you, because the notion was to not talk about it so the focus was to be on [Infinity War].โ
What movies are you hoping to see in Phase 4? Is the decision to keep their plans unknown a good move by Feige and the MCU? Let us know in the comments and be sure to follow us here at The Nerd Stash for all of your nerdy news and needs!
