Next 'Avengers' Should Lead to 'More Interesting, Unexpected' Superhero Team-Ups

The third Avengers movie, the two-part Infinity War, hits theaters in May 2018 and May 2019. By the time the dust has settled, we'll have gotten Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, Ant-Man and the Wasp and Captain Marvel (in that order). In other words, we'll already have a shitload of new heroes to work with, and that could enable Marvel to do something other than upping the stakes and the scale ad infinitum.

In a new interview with Vulture, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige talked about the MCU after Infinity War, which will reportedly feature more than 60 Marvel characters. "I think it's possible to have more intimate movies after that," Feige said, "or to have more interesting, unexpected combinations of characters after that, absolutely."
