Marvel Studios announced 11 new movies and TV shows for its upcoming Phase 4 at San Diego Comic-Con 2019, but noticeably absent was any movie titled “Avengers.”
IGN asked Kevin Feige the reason behind leaving their flagship franchise’s name out of the next several years of upcoming projects, and he explained the shift in strategy in the next phase. Watch the full interview with Feige below:
“We had a movie this year called Avengers: Endgame, and it is very much an ending, as you saw, to so many of those characters,” he said on the Marvel Studios press line. “So Phase 4 is about beginnings, and Phase 4 is about learning new things about characters you already think you know, like Black Widow; meeting incredible new characters like The Eternals and Shang-Chi; going on new adventures with Doctor Strange and Thor; and these Disney+ shows which I promise will be spectacular and what no one is expecting.”
