We’ve heard a lot about how Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers 4 will be the final chapter of a book that started ten years ago, but we shouldn’t think for one second that they’ll spell the end of the MCU as a whole. In the short term, there will be movies such as Spider-Man: Homecoming 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 coming our way, but we’ve now learned that Marvel Studios have actually got plans for more films until at least 2025.
Super producer Kevin Feige revealed this juicy piece of news while talking to the AP about how he and his team try to give every MCU movie its own unique style and tone. During the interview, he mentioned that meetings have already occurred for what pics will arrive in 2024 and 2025.
“We’re always thinking ahead. Just when people think they can pin us down, we go somewhere else and that’s going to happen again after Infinity War in the build-up to the next Avengers film. And we had meetings earlier today about 2024 and 2025.”
The architects of the MCU have always planned far ahead. For instance, Infinity War was officially announced back in 2015, though we first got our hints that this storyline was on the cards back in 2012’s The Avengers. Now that the franchise is much bigger, it only makes sense that things would need to be planned further in advance, right?
Feige then went on to say that the studio prides itself on dreaming big and having “lofty aspirations.”
“We dream big at Marvel Studios. We have very lofty aspirations at Marvel Studios. For those dreams to be surpassed is saying something.”
The producer also credited the “amazing wealth” of source material from the decades’ worth of Marvel comics out there as the reason that the franchise can keep continuing and expanding.
“There are still things that are key elements to a lot of our characters in their comic incarnations that we haven’t even done yet for characters who have had three or four movies,” Feige explained. “It is an amazing wealth of creative material to pull from.”
But what movies can we expect to appear on the big screen post-2020? Well, recent reports have mentioned that a film based on the Eternals is on the cards, with Feige himself confirming that this is at least a possibility. Meanwhile, other characters that we’ve been told are on the table at the studio include Moon Knight and Nova.
Speculation aside though, we’ve still got a long list of other Marvel movies to arrive before we have to start thinking about what comes next, and if Infinity War is any sign of what’s on the way, then there’s much to get excited about.
