Kevin Feige has revealed that the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is going to be very different from what has come before.
The MCU, up until this point, has been a gargantuan effort and it’s all set to come to an end with the upcoming Avengers: Endgame. The franchise won’t end here but the future of the MCU will be different from what’s come before.
This is according to Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige who spoke to io9 about how the future slate of MCU movies will not resemble how the franchise has looked in the past:
“The slate that we’re building over the next five years [is] not apples to apples. 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 surprising way, of which we have a lot of plans and ideas and work already going into it?’ [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.”

The future is certainly an intriguing one for the MCU and it will all become more clear once Avengers: Endgame comes to cinemas later this month…
