Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has shared a promising update on the future of the
Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The
MCU is famous for interweaving narratives and characters throughout its films, with some big plotlines being built up over the course of several years.
While speaking during a presentation at CinemaCon this week, Feige teased there's more creative storytelling to come.
While championing the importance of cinemas, he revealed plans are currently being made for the next ten years of the MCU.
"It was three years ago this weekend that [
Avengers: Endgame] was in theatres and did pretty well and provided great reminders of why it's fun to sit in a giant room full of strangers and have a shared experience. That's what it was all about," Feige told the audience.
"There are times that we all know, where it's like, 'Will we ever experience that again?' and, thanks to you, last year -
Black Widow,
Shang-Chi [and the Legend of the Ten Rings] – which you already mentioned,
Eternals, and, of course, with our friends at Sony,
Spider-Man: No Way Home proved that we can do that and prove that we can keep doing that and thank all of you for that actually happening."
"It is amazing and overwhelming for me to be a part of this business. We make these movies to be seen in your theatres on big screens with big crowds," he insisted.
"I have just left this morning, and I'm going back as soon as I get off stage, to our first creative retreat in person with the Marvel Studios creative team in three years.
"And we have a giant board there that takes us through the next decade of MCU movies, and they are different, and they are unique, and special, and are meant for your theatres," Feige added.
In the meantime, there's much more Marvel content expected later this year with new films and
Disney+ series.
Fans are soon set to get another fix of superhero action in
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and new Disney+ series
Ms Marvel will make its debut in just a few weeks' time.
