So much is unknown about Avengers 4, but it seems like a certain character will have a role to play in it.
In an interview with IndieWire, Kevin Feige had been asked on the future of female characters in MCU and also on the solo movie of Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel (Brie Larson). And he had confirmed that events of Captain Marvel will roll into Avengers 4 and Larson will reprise the role in the latter movie.
“Really, the focus now is on delivering Captain Marvel,” Feige revealed, “and then bringing Captain Marvel’s story into the finale of everything we’ve started thus far.”
Fans have speculated Captain Marvel’s role in Avengers 4 for a long time. After Joe Russo had confirmed to ComicBook.com that she would not be in Avengers: Infinity War, images of Larson arriving on Avengers 4 set hinted at her role in this movie. With a Captain Marvel solo movie set to introduce Skrulls into the MCU, some wondered if the aliens will play a role in Avengers 4.
In terms of other female-led films, Feige said that it is early to confirm them, with a priority being finishing the remainder of the MCU’s Phase Three.
“There are a lot of discussions, they all focus on the post-Phase Three, Avengers 4 film, so nothing that we’ll get into publicly.”
Feige explained. “We’re really focusing on Captain Marvel and the work that [directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck] are doing. It’s going to be a big part of heading towards this epic conclusion and epic finale of 22 movies over the course of 10 years. That is focus for the next six movies we have to finish and get out.”
In a post-Wonder Woman landscape, fans had increased their campaigns for Marvel to introduce more female-led movies. Thor: Ragnarok’s Tessa Thompson had pitched an all-female team-up movie to Feige and a Black Widow solo film.
Captain Marvel will debut on March 8th, 2019, while Avengers 4 is set to be released on May 3rd, 2019.
