Why Avengers 4 Will Deliver A Big Ending, According To Kevin Feige

[Archiee]

I hope you aren't too attached to the current Marvel Cinematic Universe storyline, because it looks like things are about to change in a significant way. The MCU as we know it is going to end with the debut of Avengers 4, and some major changes are around the corner. What does this mean for the potential look of Phase 4? We still have absolutely no idea.

Having said that, it's hard to figure out precisely what Kevin Feige's remarks to Uproxx really mean. Drawing comparisons to franchises like Batman and James Bond seems to imply a change in continuity, but he also notes that the MCU will still exist when all is said and done. With that in mind, this would seem to suggest that the MCU will simply tell a new story separate from the Thanos buildup that we have experienced over the course of the last decade, or it could also mean that the events of Infinity War and Avengers 4 will fundamentally change the landscape of the MCU in a way that borders on a reboot. Either way, the story that we're currently experiencing will be tied up and finished by the time the credits roll on Avengers 4.

 

Of course, as Kevin Feige's comments imply, we're only halfway through this Phase 3 climax. As those who have seen Avengers: Infinity War already know, the film ends on a shocking note that sees practically half of the fan-favorite heroes killed by Thanos when he snaps his fingers and unleashes the power of the Infinity Stones. Though not quite a full-blown cliffhanger, the film does end with the suggestion that these heroes have more work to do, so we will need to wait another year to see how this story properly ends.
