Marvel Studios Jaute San Diego Comic-Con this year, but the president of the studio, Kevin Feige The Fantastic Four: First steps.
To start, Feige confirmed that in the post-Avengers: secret wars MCU, the X-Men will be redesigned for the next restart. However, it seems that the new start offered by the events of the film 2027 will also extend to the wider franchise.
“We use that [story] Not only to complete the stories that we have told after getting into getaGame: “Just as important – and you can watch the comics” Secret Wars “for where it takes you – that prepares us very, for the future,” Feige said about the conclusion of the multiverse saga. “‘The end of the game,” literally, was the end. “Secret Wars” concerns the beginnings. “”
“Restarting is a scary word,” He continued. “Restarting can mean many things for many people. Reset, singular chronology – we think in this direction.” X-Men “is where it will happen next.”
“They have been a place to tell stories about young people who feel different and who feel the others and who have the impression that they do not belong”, “ Feige added, teasing the approach of Marvel Studios to put a new turn to the mutant team. “This is the universal history of mutants, and that’s where we are going.”
Pushed if it will lead to the overhaul of characters like Captain America and Iron Man, the president of Marvel Studios played Coy. “Amy Pascal and David Heyman are now looking for a new James Bond. David [Corenswet]The new Superman – He was great. This will always be the case. “”
“I think it is difficult for anyone to do it when an actor played such a big role”, “ He pointed out, referring to Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. “How will they ever replace Sean Connery [as James Bond]RIGHT?”
Regarding the characters inherited as Wolverine by Hugh Jackman and Deadpool of Ryan Reynolds, Feige would only say, “I think there is more pleasure in having these two characters. But we will see where.”
Before reaching what looks like a soft restart for the MCU, Avengers: Doomsday will present the new Big Bad from the multiverse saga when Downey is accompanied by Doctor Doom. The original plans called for this time of narration to turn around Kang the Conqueror, but even before the legal problems of Jonathan Majors, Feige plotted a pivot.
“We had started even before what had happened to the actor, we had started to realize that Kang was not tall enough, was not Thanos, and that there was only one character who could be that, because he was in the comics for decades and decades”, “ Feige explained. “Due to the acquisition of Fox, we finally got it and it was Dr. Doom.”
“So, we had started talking about Dr. Doom before we have officially pivoted Kang. And in fact, I started talking with Robert [Downey Jr.] About this daring idea before Ant-Man 3 even got out, ” he revealed. “It was a long plan that we had to take one of our greatest characters and use one of our greatest actors.”
Feige did not explain how Kang’s passage will be explained, but announced that Loki The writer of season 1 Michael Waldron Help Stephen McFeely to write Avengers: Doomsday Script (Waldron has a lot of multi -world experience between Rick and Morty,, LokiAnd Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness).
In a separate interview with comicbook.com, Feige also confirmed that Thunderbolts * Director Jake Schreier will direct the X-Men restart. “It’s official, Jake Schreier does X-Men for us, and we are very, very lucky,” He shared. “And we are very, very lucky to have it and very excited to have it. And so we start. It all starts. The script is in progress.”
“Jake is an incredibly intelligent guy, and he is an incredibly talented filmmaker. We had great experience with him on Thunderbolts *. And if you saw this film, which he did with these character interactions, he also has his pulse, we say, a younger demography. “”
“He is younger than me for sure, but he is exploited in a way which, I think, was important for Thunderbolts *, much more important for X-Men. Because X-Men, as it was in comics, will be a very focused film on young people, concentrated and actor,” Feige concluded.
