Marvel president opens up about the future of the MCU in his first ever AMA

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, the architect of the far-reaching Marvel Cinematic Universe, held his first Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything). This gave fans an opportunity to ask the mind behind Marvel movies some of their most burning questions, like inquiring about the future of the MCU.

Feige did not go so far as to answer that question unfortunately, but his AMA was filled other amazing answers that truly pulled back the veil on the MCU. We’ve known about some of the history for a while, but there were some answers that were truly candid. For instance, he first realized how successful the MCU franchise could be with the opening weekend of the first Avengers. That, if you don’t remember, broke all kinds of records at the time, realizing this crazy interconnected universe idea for the studio could work. And it did.

He also opened up about other things like the planning of the MCU. He confirmed that at any given point, there is at least a five-year plan laid out, but often times it extends much further than that. That means Marvel Studios already knows the movies it’ll release in 2024, if not further, it’s just choosing not to tell us.

Some of the toughest obstacles that came his way was pitching radical ideas like making Captain America: The First Avenger a period WWII movie and casting Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man.
