Marvel seem to be coordinating their press very well recently. You can’t go a week without hearing some new news, or even just an individual’s opinion about something that has been discussed endlessly. Now it’s time for Marvel’s studio president Kevin Feige to speak about the inclusion of Thanos and the future of Phase 2 and 3. Speaking to MTV, Feige said:
There’s a great track record now about lobbing something in at the last moment to get the audience buzzing. Particularly when it came to Thanos, [we knew] that most people in that audience had no idea who that purple guy was — but they could clearly tell he was important, and knew if they asked the two or three people sitting next to them, somebody would know who he was.
Thanos is going to play a huge part over the course of the next few films and if you want the lowdown on all the upcoming Marvel villains, then take a look at here. Feige continued:
Clearly, there’s a purpose to us putting him in the end of that movie. We do have plans for him. I wouldn’t say we ever feel the need to rush anything one way or the other. We succeeded in Phase One because we stuck to our guns and stuck to the plan. That plan took place over many, many years and it ultimately paid off. I see Phase Two unfolding in the same way of us taking our time, us doing what’s right for each individual movie, while folding in elements that will not only build up to the culmination of Phase Two, but even Phase Three.
This is exactly why these films are succeeding. They have a long term plan and it helps to create a cohesive world, unlike the obvious rushing of a JUSTICE LEAGUE film. I can’t wait to see Thanos in action battling our heroes.
