For many fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the ending of Avengers: Endgame was both satisfying and saddening. But one opinion on the ending has finally been revealed, and it's perhaps the most important one -- that of Marvel Studio President Kevin Feige.Feige recently participated in an Avengers: Endgame viewing party with Vudu on Twitter. During the viewing party, Feige answered questions from eager Avengers fans, with one question pondering if there was anything Feige would change about Endgame's ending. To his credit, Feige revealed he wouldn't change a thing.
Feige's response showcases an approachability many studio heads lacks when it comes to fan interaction. But considering the positive reception and huge box office gross of the film, he is rightly satisfied with the film's ending.
However, when you factor in Feige's involvement in the overall planning of the MCU, his response is also no surprise. As a fan himself, Feige and other Marvel tastemakers have shaped what Marvel Studios is today. For Feige, Endgame's conclusion marks the end of a well-executed era and the beginning of a new one for the studio.
But Feige is not resting on his laurels with Phase Four starting next year. The new phase begins with Black Widow arriving May 1, 2020, followed by The Eternals on November 6, 2020, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings on February 21, 2021, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness on May 7, 2021 and Thor: Love and Thunder on November 5, 2021. Along with the announced slate, projects are coming down the pipeline with a Blade reboot and sequels for Black Panther, Guardians of the Galaxy, Spider-Man and Captain Marvel.
