Kevin Feige Says ‘Avengers: Endgame’ Was Supposed To Be The Finale Of The Avengers Saga

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has drawn attention to the immense evolution of storytelling in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as it gears up for the upcoming epic, ‘Avengers: Secret Wars.’

In a recent conversation with Omeleteve, Feige shared insights into how the journey to ‘Secret Wars’ is notably different from the buildup to ‘Avengers: Endgame’. He also hinted at the future integration of beloved characters like the X-Men.

Reflecting on the lead-up to ‘Avengers: Endgame,’ Kevin Feige highlighted that the film represented a significant culmination of over a decade of intricate storytelling. “When we were gearing up for ‘Avengers: Endgame,’ it really was a finale,” he noted. “We sort of started the whole machine back up again as we figured out what the grand storyline would be,” he said.

The stakes were high as ‘Endgame’ served as the conclusion to an era that included milestone moments like Tony Stark’s unforgettable arc. Now, with ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ on the horizon, Feige shared that Marvel Studios is approaching the new era with clear direction.

What’s fun this time is—now we know very much what the grand storyline is leading up to ‘Secret Wars,’ but also beyond,” he revealed. This plan extends past the climax of ‘Secret Wars’ and ushers in iconic characters like the X-Men. Feige also acknowledged fan excitement surrounding the return of Wolverine. 

So, fans can expect to see Wolverine and the X-Men as a whole in upcoming MCU projects. Moreover, Feige also confirmed that Tom Holland‘s ‘Spider-Man 4’ is set to release between the colossal Avengers films. So, the film might also serve as a bridge between ‘Avengers: Doomsday‘ and ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’.

Kevin Feige also talked about his creative approach being influenced by earlier successes and inspirations from within the superhero genre. Speaking during the Disney+ documentary ‘Assembled: The Making of Deadpool & Wolverine‘, he opened up about how ‘Logan’ left a profound mark on his vision for character farewells. 

“I had always been very vocal with Hugh [Jackman] that he had one of the best endings of any fictional character ever,” Feige said. He praised the powerful, heartfelt conclusion that Logan’s character received. Moreover, this admiration directly influenced how Feige and the team crafted Robert Downey Jr.’s exit as Tony Stark.

That’s what we were striving for with Robert Downey Jr. in ‘Endgame,’” Feige admitted. “To give this incredible, iconic fictional character an amazing ending.”

Stark’s heroic sacrifice, executed with the same emotional weight that made Wolverine’s finale memorable, left audiences in tears. Moreover, it further cemented his legacy as a cornerstone of the MCU.
