Avengers 4 to shock with ‘DEFINITIVE ending’: Infinity War sequel promises BIG conclusion

In an interview from earlier this year that has resurfaced on Reddit overnight, Kevin Feige indicated that the current storylines within the MCU will be tied up very finally in the sequel to Infinity War, due next April.

Speaking to the Toronto Sun, he said: “It’s a world I hope continues far into the future in the same way all of these storylines have continued in the comics.

“We’re one decade in. In the comics, some of these heroes are five, six, seven decades in. So I do hope they continue for a long time.

“But, storylines can come to an end. The best stories do come to an end. Return of the Jedi was an ending for a long time and as a 10-year-old in 1983 that carried me through 30 years until there was a sequel.

“That hasn’t happened before in the superhero genre. A new actor comes in and a new storyline starts right away.

“We wanted to do it this way because we think that the best stories have a definitive ending to a storyline. That’s certainly what’s going to happen next year with Avengers 4.”

He added: “The Universe, the world, many of the characters we’ve introduced will continue onward in unexpected ways, some of which I don’t even know yet.

“But bringing a definitive conclusion at the 22-film mark, and just over 10 years, seemed like the right thing to do.”

Multiple Marvel heroes were killed off at the end of Infinity War, although many of them are confirmed to appear in future movies – not least Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, with new movie Far From Home already in production.

But whether that film is set in the past, or in a different dimension, or after Peter Parker has been somehow brought back to  life remains to be seen.

The Guardians of the Galaxy also have a new film in the pipeline, which should go into production next year.

Prior to Avengers 4, UK fans are still waiting for Ant-Man and the Wasp (due August 2) after its successful launch in the US earlier this month.

Captain Marvel will then introduce Brie Larson as Carol Danvers, before she appears in a key role in Avengers 4.

Avengers 4 is out on April 26, 2019.
