Kevin Feige has opened up about his plans for the future of the MCU – and it's looking like it's not stopping any time soon. The Marvel Studios head shared some insight with a Chinese publication called Watching Hollywood recently, confirming they have plans for another two decades of movies.
"We were just in a Marvel Studios meeting room, planning movies all the way up to 2042," he told the publication in a transcript shared on Weibo, which has been translated. "Whether we can make it to 2042? Who knows? Will it be those movies? Who knows?"
Speaking of the next stage of the Avengers movies, Feige added that they are a "beginning" of a new era for the MCU, and it sounds like the X-Men will be at the heart of that.
"It will establish a streamlined, simplified, single universe that we can keep up with," he explained. "Some things will be familiar, but many, many things will be entirely new. Going back to what we mentioned earlier about attracting young people and connecting with a new generation of audiences, that's exactly what the next universe will be about. And fundamentally, the X-Men will be at its core."
Feige went on to say that "fundamentally, it's a universe, a multi-stage saga. Much of that is what we're working towards." He even confirmed what the next stage of the MCU might be called, adding: "We're constantly changing, constantly evolving, but having some guidance helps us act more purposefully… especially with X-Men – it's already had 10 movies, some very, very good, some I think haven't lived up to expectations – how do we plan the 'mutant saga' in a very grand way?"
These are some really intriguing comments and we're betting we'll find out more about Feige's plans for the MCU at the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con panel. He'll be returning to Hall H this year as we expect to hear more about Avengers: Doomsday, Avengers: Secret Wars, and the upcoming X-Men movie too.
