We're down to the wire, counting the final hours until everyone collectively lose their minds over Avengers: Endgame. Tensions are high, and there's a lot to worry about — rogue spoilers, reviews, the entire legacy of the MCU. Needless to say, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige probably has a lot on his plate right now, which makes his reaction to a reporter's question even more nerve wracking. With all due respect.. WHAT WAS THAT REPORTER ASKING Kevin Fiege?! pic.twitter.com/DRDgkBjbDB — Riddle (@Ridd1e) April 24, 2019 What was this reporter asking Feige? "Who will remain alive after Endgame?" Maybe they asked, "Will Groot finally get a love interest?" Or possibly, "Can Ant-Man really defeat Thanos by shrinking down and going up...you know where??" Or better yet, "Is Steve Rogers a virgin?" While we're unsure exactly what was asked, Twitter was quick to roast Feige's exaggerated display of — some kind of emotion. That’s Kevin’s reaction when introduced to the Ant Man butt theory. — Jeremy Conrad (@ManaByte) April 24, 2019 This the exact gif that's matches his reaction pic.twitter.com/TXreeuL9qs — Spring snowmew🌻🌼🌱 (@MonoyashaDvC) April 24, 2019 The reporter found out that he is a skrull. — ItsYaBo93 (@PetsyPetsyPetsy) April 24, 2019 Got a history of making this face, I think pic.twitter.com/bbvIoovn1N — Pone Tony (@BoomBizzle) April 24, 2019 While we may not know what context made Feige react like that, but nevertheless, that's the face we'll all have whenever anyone tries to spoil Endgame.<doc-sep>Kevin Feige Considers Spider-Man: Far From Home, Not Avengers: Endgame, As The End Of The MCU’s Third Phase Here’s an intriguing tidbit: according to Kevin Feige, Avengers: Endgame isn’t actually the end of the third phase of Marvel movies, even though, y’know, it’s in the name and everything. Talking to fans in Shanghai, Feige, as reported by Newsweek, said, of Far From Home, “It’s the end of the third phase.” Which makes Spider-Man’s second solo outing the finale of the most sprawling and dramatic of the MCU’s three stages. It’s a delineation that has some precedent: Ant-Man, not Age of Ultron, was considered the end of Stage Two, after all. It makes sense to follow up the drama with something a bit lighter as an epilogue. It also makes sense, and is particularly interesting, as a showcase of whatever the post-Endgame status quo is going to be. Just as the Battle of Manhattan completely changed the film universe, whatever happens in Endgame is going to transform that world into something different than it was before. Far From Home will have the opportunity to establish and explore this new status quo, giving viewers an impression of what the MCU is going to be like going forward. It also means that no Phase Four films have been officially announced. Though, of course, we have some ideas. Avengers: Endgame comes out April 24th, and Spider-Man: Far From Home ends the third phase this July.<doc-sep>Marvel Studios President, Kevin Feige has revealed that the Marvel Cinematic Universe's third phase will conclude with Spider-Man: Far From Home, set to release on July 2. Prior to this, it was believed that this week's highly anticipated release Avengers: Endgame would close out Phase Three, and that Far From Home, co-produced with Sony, was intended to kick off Phase Four. However, when Feige was asked this weekend about Far From Home during an interview at a Shanghai-based fan event for Endgame, the Marvel Studios president bluntly stated, "It's the end of the third phase." He then added that this was the first time he had said this publicly. His statement means that it's now up to the Tom Holland led, summer Spider-man romp to do the closing ceremonies for Phase Three and set up the scene for what's to come in the next phase. Some fans may find this alteration a bit shocking–– for Marvel to end the galaxy-spanning, dramatic third phase with what is expected to be a relatively lighthearted Spider-Man film, compared to the operatic Avengers twin-bill. However, in hindsight, it should've been expected. Marvel pulled a similar tactic in Phase Two's final act. After the action-dense, death-filled, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Marvel released the comparatively lightweight Ant-Man before moving onto the MCU's third phase. Perhaps, the comedic films are seen internally as tonal respites before returning to heavier content. Ant-Man famously ended with two post-credit scenes: one that acted an epilogue to the film, and a second one that acted as a primer for Phase Three's first film, Captain America: Civil War. Maybe this means we can expect Far From Home to include a teaser for the first Phase Four film. What exactly that movie will be is still not known. However, we won't have to wait too long to find that out. After Far From Home, the next Marvel release is due out on May 1st, 2020. We'll likely begin to see marketing for that currently unknown Phase Four film later this year. Spider-Man: Far From Home will sling into theaters July 2. The film will feature Peter Parker (Tom Holland) taking a trip to Europe with his classmates and facing off against the special effects based baddie, Mysterio, played by Jake Gyllenhaal. Far From Home will also include appearances by Maria Hill (Colbie Smulders) and Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson). When asked what Fury will be like in Far From Home, director Jon Watts said, "If Tony is like the supportive cool uncle, Fury's more like the mean new stepdad. Fury doesn't see himself in Peter Parker. Fury sees Peter Parker as an asset that he needs who is too preoccupied with a bunch of high school problems."<doc-sep>
Some are already griping online that fans were led to believe that ‘Avengers: Infinity War’, only for the film to climax with the cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers. But now, at long last, ‘Avengers: Endgame’ is almost here and that is definitely the culmination of the first era of Marvel Studios movies. It has ‘Endgame’ in the title! Except once again, fans have been misled. ‘Endgame’ doesn’t wrap up Marvel Phase 3, or what Kevin Feige calls the “Infinity Saga.” ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ is the true ending. Feige said so himself while making a personal appearance in Shanghai. As Feige stated at the beginning of the clip, in reference to ‘Far From Home’: “It’s the end of the third phase. You’re the first one I’ve told that to.” This wouldn’t be the first time that an unlikely film served as the ending of one of Marvel’s phases. ‘Ant-Man’ capped off Phase Two. And that film was largely self-contained, serving as the origin for Paul Rudd’s pint-sized hero, with only a passing nod to the larger MCU. Of course, that interaction, with The Falcon (Anthony Mackie) set up Ant-Man’s participation in ‘Captain America: Civil War’, a major part of the Marvel puzzle. ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ was similar, in that its main objective was establishing the MCU version of Peter Parker, a character that had previously appeared in two isolated film series. The presence of both Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau), not to mention a plot that revolved around Chitauri technology, helped firmly plant Tom Holland’s wall-crawler in the MCU. But overall, ‘Homecoming’ was a self-contained story. What we’ve seen of ‘Far From Home’ seems to indicate that it will also largely be a solo Spider-Man adventure, but there are connections to a larger shared universe, with the presence of Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders). And considering that this will be the first picture to follow ‘Endgame’, expect there to be some reference to the events of that film… whatever those are. So, unfortunately, ‘Endgame’ won’t be the big finale of Marvel’s third phase. But considering that Marvel fans tend to embrace all of its movies, most of the viewers checking out ‘Endgame’ on opening weekend were probably already planning to do the same for ‘Far From Home’ anyway. ‘Avengers: Endgame’ hits theaters on April 26. ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ swings in on July 5.
