MCU Phase 4 has been very diverse in its way of storytelling. With the concept of Disney+ shows being introduced into the MCU, things were always going to get very different. And after a decade of mostly following the same formula, the MCU needed something different big time. But many would argue that even though all shows and movies have maintained a certain standard of quality, there have still been a few hits and misses. That’s because the kind of standards the previous 23 movies had set was too damn high. And now, the boss has also spoken about it. Marvel’s Chief Creative Officer, Kevin Feige has explained why MCU Phase 4 Projects are different from what we’ve seen in the past, and from each other as well.
Why MCU Phase 4 Projects Are Different
Kevin Feige was present in the virtual press conference for the upcoming MCU streaming series Ms. Marvel and it is here that he spoke about the intention of keeping things different and fresh in Phase 4.
Here’s what he had to say:
“That’s always the intention, is that the Marvel Studios logo doesn’t promise a particular group of characters and a particular exact tone. It promises a spirit and a style and a vibe and an emotion, I hope. And it’s perfect timing to go from Moon Knight to Ms. Marvel, specifically because they’re so unique and so different with Multiverse of Madness and Love and Thunder on either end of that. That is what makes Marvel in publishing and now in the MCU so unique, is being able to see all of those different tones and styles and characters. So I like very much that people say, ‘Look, they’re all different.’ Because that’s how we always feel about them and always want them to feel.”
Continuing to explain this further, he took the example of Ms. Marvel itself:
“With Marvel, it’s such a privilege, because not only are there reinterpretations every few years of existing wonderful characters, but every once in a while, and it does seem like every decade or so, there’s a new character that comes around that catches the audiences’ imagination. And this character clearly did that, and as I said to some people on the red carpet last night, almost from the first few issues, people started asking us in environments like this when we were promoting other things, ‘When is Kamala Khan coming [to the MCU]? When is Ms. Marvel coming?’ And so it always seemed inevitable, in a great way to be able to do it. When Disney+ came around, it really gave us the opportunity to do what we really wanted to do, which was tell her full story in six episodes, and then have her then transition into a feature. And as Sana [Amanat] said, I’m so proud of bringing new characters to the screen and not just telling reinterpretations of characters people have seen for decades and decades. And I think that’s important. I want people who have never even considered watching a Marvel Studios production before to be excited and watch this show. And then go watch all the other ones!”
The unique and fresh content is still not over. After Ms. Marvel, we are getting She-Hulk which will continue to increase the diversification. Then there are projects like Echo, Agatha House of Harkness, and many more which will go down the same path. Let’s just hope that the quality we’d be getting from these projects will be as high as Loki.
