Moore’s thoughts on the next phase of the MCU are in line with what has been reported lately.Infinity Warwas full of surprises andAvengers 4will reportedly raise the stakes even further. Additionally,Captain Marvelis rumored to be a game-changer for Marvel.
Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has revealed that there’s talks of enough MCU projects to go until 2025, which means there’s no signs of slowing down at the moment. Nate Moore recently spoke about the future and noted that they’re looking into what the best stories will be to tell during phase 4 of the MCU. James Gunn has said in the past thatGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3will be the movie tokick off the new phase in 2020. Moore had this to say.
“There are great ideas out there that we’ve talked about internally that I think and I hope will be surprising and refreshing to audiences while we still continue toexplore characters we’ve come to love. The new ones always feel really exciting because they can be anything. We’re at the point now where we’re blue-skying, what are the best stories to tell, and in that blue sky there are ideas that I think all of us get really excited to share with people.”
Nate Moore even talked about having tosay goodbye to some members of the team.Infinity Wardoubled down on the deaths, but it isn’t clear which ones will stick after the events ofAvengers 4. As far as phase 4 is concerned, Moore is excited about the future to introduce new characters to new and old fans of the MCU. Though nothing has been mentioned specifically, Nate Moore’s thoughts are an exciting prospect. He explains further.
“I think it’s an opportunity for us to bid a fond farewell to characters that we’ve come to know for a while, but to also then introduce characters who are going to feel completely new and hopefully surprising to both our core fans and fans of our movies who aren’t as well-versed in publishing.”
For now, the MCU will end their year withAnt-Man 2, which comes out in July and thenCaptain Marvelin early 2019. The two projects are expected to have major ties toAvengers 4and the future of the MCU, especiallyCaptain Marvel. Carol Danvers is expected to be a big element in the years to come, with inside sources claiming that her role will be very important for the comic book movie genre as a whole.
The MCU is about to expand in the next handful of years, which means that it’s going to look a lot different than past 10 years movies. There’s still a lot to look forward to withAnt-Man 2,Captain Marvel, andAvengers 4to end phase 3 of the MCU, but the future is still a mystery, which is all a part of the fun.
