For the better part of the last decade, Marvel Studios has been building their cinematic universe.
It’s a film that carries a lot on its shoulders.
WithCivil Wararriving in U.S. theaters this week, I had the opportunity to speak with Feige last month.
In particular, forCivil War’s two breakout debuts.
Check it all out in the interview below.
KEVIN FEIGE: Yes, awesome.

Looking ahead to his solo moviea little bit.
How heavilyis Marvel involved with the production on that?
Or are you guys working very much [together]?

FEIGE: Were working very much [together].
The agreement was that it is very much a Sony Pictures movie.
Who was fair game tocrossover?

Or was it more on good faith that you would both deliver what the stories needed?
FEIGE: I think good faith is a better way of putting it.
Killer job, he’s just wonderful.

Just to confirm, does the story your putting together take place before or afterCivil War?
Is that also the plan for the stand alone?
Are you working from the assumption that people just know that.

Weve seen it a number of times now, its its own well-known mythology.
He isamazing.So where are you guys at on thatscript?
Do you have a finished script?

FEIGE: Very soon, very soon.
We have a number of writers on it, including Ryan Coogler who is also directing.
He’s working on the draft right now.

I think between now and the end of the summer there’ll be more casting announcements.
We start filming at the very beginning of next year.
Last year, there was this crazy rumor that theInhumansmovie was not happening.
Can we squash that rumor?
We addedAnt-Man and the Wasp, which was a big fun continuation of that story for us.
Walt Disney Company has announced an Indiana Jones film for right around that same time.
So I think it will shuffle off the current date that its on right now.
How far down it shuffles, Im not sure yet.
But its not a matter of theyre already doing that on TV, were not doing it?
FEIGE: No, Its a question of when.
Especially because we have nine very big very important movies that we’re actively working on right now.
It was ten, but now [Civil War’s] done, so it’s just nine.
FEIGE: Nine giant movies.
What about this movie?"
Someone brought it up in one of the panels today, it’s a nice problem to have.
FEIGE: I don’t really know.
2015,Age of Ultron, Ant-Man.
FEIGE: This year, we’ve gotCivil Warand we’ve gotDoctorStrangein November, two completely different movies.
To me, and to all of Marvel Studios, that’s what keeps it going.
Other than that they can be very distinct.
What other studios do, what other properties, nothing we can do about it.
I don’t know if you saw those paparazzi pictures.
I thought those paparazzi shots were the greatest shots I’ve ever seen.
That was amazing, and Ben going into the comic shop and the cafe was totally him.
But we did one of the first reviews and it was pretty exciting.
It was pretty cool in terms of how 3D can serve that story.
And hopefully it helps bend peoples minds even more than just the flat screen will.
FEIGE: I think it will be fairly even.
That’s certainly the intention.
And I’m out of time, thank you so much.
FEIGE: Thank you.
