Avengers 4: ‘Captain Marvel is VERY different type of origin story’ says Marvel boss

Before Avengers 4 hits cinemas next April, MCU fans have Captain Marvel to look forward to.

A prequel to the epic, the film is set in the 1990s and, according to Kevin Feige, will be quite different from what might be expected.

Speaking with Variety, he said: “It takes place in the 1990s and while it is an origin story of our hero, it is a very different type of origin story which we’re excited to unveil to audiences.

“Brie Larson does a tremendous job. Sam Jackson is a very different version of Nick Fury, does an amazing job, the entire cast — this one is very different and very exciting.”

When asked if he would want Deadpool to come over and join the MCU, Feige was quite cryptic.

The producer added: “The merger’s not done. What I will say is, for years and years the dream has been to have access to as many of our characters back, so we could tell those stories at Marvel Studios.

“If and when that happens I’ll be very excited. We have ideas just going back from 18 years, but nothing specific.”

Captain Marvel will be released in UK cinemas on March 8, 2019.
