10 Questions We Still Have About Avengers: Infinity War
1. What Next, If Not Phase 4?
Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige has cast doubt on whether there will be a fourth phase of its shared cinematic universe after Infinity War has set up the current chapter's endgame.
The studio exec has hinted that fans are in for a "new thing" that is "very different" to the current phase-based status quo, but what exactly does that really mean?
Does it spell the end of Avengers outings and the beginning of a new age of standalone series, or is Feige alluding to something entirely different?
His comments also suggest the MCU is undergoing a reboot of sorts in the wake of Infinity War and its untitled sequel, with the old guard of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor et al making way for a new generation of heroes.
But if Marvel is phasing out phases, how will its strategy change going forward?
