MCU Will Be 'Very, Very Different' After Avengers 4

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige teases the future.

Whether it's called Phase 4 or not, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is going to see drastic changes after Avengers 4.

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige chatted with Collider about the future for the universe. Though he was tight-lipped about where things go with the untitled Avengers 4, he did hint at a new direction.

"We have an idea, and it’s gonna be very, very different."

Feige even hinted that what would seemingly be called Phase 4 could end up being something entirely new:

"Certainly as we get to Infinity War there is a sense of a climax if not a conclusion to, by the time we’re at untitled Avengers 4, the 22 movies that will have encompassed the first three phases of the MCU [...] I don’t know if it’s Phase 4, it might be a new thing.”

There has been speculation as to whether the likes of Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans will continue to play their now-iconic roles beyond Avengers 4 - it may be that Marvel sees Phase 4 as an opportunity to bring in new characters and actors.

Avengers 4 will serve as a culmination of the first three phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While it was originally called Part 2 of Infinity War, directors Joe and Anthony Russo split up the movies back in the first half of 2016.

In fact, Avengers 3 and 4 are no longer even filming simultaneously. Feige confirmed with Collider that they're being shot back-to-back instead.

"It became too complicated to cross-board them like that, and we found ourselves — again, something would always pay the price. We wanted to be able to focus and shoot one movie and then focus and shoot another movie."

Little is known about Avengers 4, though Spider-Man will appear in the Marvel movie.

Last week, IGN visited the Marvel Studios office and learned more about the upcoming slate of films for the cinematic universe. For instance, you can check out IGN's review of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 right now.
