Feige Talks “Spider-Man 4,” “X-Men” & More

Sony Pictures

With Marvel Studios’ “Deadpool and Wolverine” arriving next week, studio chief Kevin Feige has been conducting interviews with a number of outlets.

Whilst the line-up of Marvel Studios for the coming years won’t fully be revealed until next weekend, he did offer some choice quotes today about some projects not yet officially announced.

First up, he tells io9 that work on “Spider-Man 4” has already begun: “Amy [Pascal] and I are working on it. We have writers who are going to be delivering us a draft relatively soon.”

Current star Tom Holland, whose now 28, has previously indicated he’s unlikely to continue in the role past 30. However he has indicated he’s definitely open to return to the role for a fourth film.

When it comes to the X-Men, Feige says that the line-up of mutants they’ll likely use will only be partially similar to what’s been seen in the past:

“There are a lot of great X-Men characters in the Deadpool & Wolverine film. There are a lot of great X-Men characters in all of the Fox versions of the X-Men films. And there are a lot of great X-Men characters that have never gone on the big screen.

So I think as we always try to do, as we did when we made the arrangement with Sony for Spider-Man, you’ll probably see a mix of characters you’ve seen before and characters you’ve never seen before.”

He also spoke about the success of the Disney+ animated series “X-Men ’97” which he sees as exciting, especially as people care about the interpersonal dynamics and storylines there:

“I think the success of X-Men ’97 was really exciting for us to see people revisit and reconnect with that world, and dare I say, the soap opera elements of that world, which is one of the things that’s so exciting to us about jumping into it finally in the MCU.”

Finally, he was also asked about this week’s reports that the Russos are coming back to direct the fifth “Avengers”. He tells Inverse: ” I can’t comment on it except to say it was somebody else a couple of weeks ago and I look forward to seeing who it is going to be next week. We’ll see.”
