During a promotional interview with Crave Online to promote the release of Avengers: Age of Ultron, Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige has been speaking about the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, discussing the upcoming debut of Spider-Man, the chances of Charlie Cox’s Daredevil making the jump to the big screen, and the introduction of the Inhumans in ABC’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ahead of the 2019 movie.
On Spider-Man: “Spider-Man we knew about when we were doing that [Phase Three] announcement in October. We’ve been thinking about it as long as we’ve been thinking about Phase Three. In Spider-Man’s very specific case, where there have been two retellings of that origin in the last whatever it’s been – [thirteen] years – for us we are going to take it for granted that people know that, and the specifics. It will not be an origin story. But, with great power comes great responsibility. It is inherent to who his character is. But we want to reveal it in different ways and spend much more time focusing on this young high school kid in the MCU dealing with his powers.”
On Daredevil joining the big screen side of the MCU: “I don’t know. I think once something is back in the universe, as certainly Daredevil is, it’s all fair game. It’s just adding more toys outside the sandbox that we can grab to pull in the sandbox. I hear D’Onofrio’s awesome in that. I haven’t seen the whole show.”
And on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s introduction of the Inhumans: “I think they’re beginning to seed a lot of that in the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. show, but the notion from the comics that I think is interesting, is the notion of needing to have this DNA that could be activated by the [Terrigen] Mists, which is what’s so cool about Inhumans to me.”
