Kevin Feige has finally answered the question of what happens when the MCU actors decide to move on.
The firstĀ Iron Man came out in 2008, which means that Robert Downy Jr. has taken on the role for ten years. With an indefinite number of superhero movies possible in the future, the question on our minds is what happens when the actors stop wanting to play their characters.
Speaking toĀ The Costco Connection,Ā producerĀ Kevin Feige has said that the answer to that question can be found in the comics.
“That’s what we can look to in the comics,” he said. “And that’s why these characters are so relevant. I talk about 10 years of movies, but it’s 50-plus years of comics.”
“And they’re just as relevant and popular,” he said. “And that’s because they do get updated. They do change with the times. I have no doubt that all of our actors, who are in peak physical shape, have got another 50 years in them to be heroes.”
With regards to MCU afterĀ Infinity War,Ā we already know that Brie Larson will replace Captain America and Iron Man as the face of MCU. The movies after this will mark the end of a new era and Feige has said that thinking about the logistics of the characters and actors beyond part two ofĀ Avengers: Infinity WarĀ is not at the forefront of his mind.
“In terms of the specifics of how we will evolve the characters, thankfully I don’t have to really think about it yet,” he added. “‘Cause we’re still finishing what we started here withĀ Avengers: Infinity War.”
Captain MarvelĀ is coming to cinemas March 8 next year.
