12 Things We Definitely Know About Future MCU Movies

5. It Will Never Surrender The Comedy

Darkness isn't exactly working out for Marvel's competitors, all that well (at least in critical terms), but it seems unlikely that Kevin Feige is going to have his head turned by Suicide Squad's initial box office take, or The Dark Knight trilogy's enduring success.

Feige attended to Q&A at a pre-release screening for Age Of Ultron back in summer 2015 and pretty firmly stated that he had no intention of turning to the darker side. Here's how one Redditor in attendance broke it down:

"There is no dark turn in the MCU. He says every year fans come up to him and ask him if this movie is when the MCU goes "dark" or takes a "dark" turn. He said while the trailers may seem ominous or have a sense of impending doom, the movies do not have that feel, and will not. He said he "Hoped people would catch on by now" - there will be no giant dark turns in the MCU where it then continues to head in that direction. The humor is in the DNA of the movies, there are no plans to change that."

Good.
