Kevin Feige confirms seven-year MCU plan, teases Dr Doom and return of Mahershala Ali's Blade
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has offered a rare glimpse into the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe during a press roundtable at Marvel's headquarters in Burbank, California. Pointing toward a set of sealed doors, Feige hinted at what lies ahead for the powerhouse studio. Kevin Feige Teases Seven-Year MCU Plan at Marvel HQ While the exact titles remain under wraps, Kevin Feige's comment confirms Marvel's long-term planning remains ambitious and flexible — even after recent pivots in tone, talent, and characters. 'It's a seven-year plan,' teases Feige, 'I think it goes to 2032. It's on magnets, it can move around.' Following the commercial disappointment of the 2015 reboot, Marvel Studios is preparing to reintroduce 'Fantastic Four' — this time under Feige's own creative leadership. With expectations running high, the producer spoke candidly about why Marvel's first family is finally being restored to their rightful place in the MCU. 'Why Fantastic Four? Because it's Marvel's first family. It's in the history of our characters; they deserve to be A-listers. They were A-listers in the comics. Every crossover movie we've made in the Infinity saga, Civil War, leading to Infinity War and Endgame, which is really the Infinity saga from the comics, the Fantastic Four were huge players in those comics and obviously we couldn't do that then,' explains Feige on the reasons for another redo. The upcoming film will be the first time Marvel Studios — not 20th Century Fox — takes full creative control of the characters, and fans are hopeful it will mark a true return to form. With 'Fantastic Four' back in the fold, attention has naturally turned to one of Marvel's most iconic villains: Doctor Doom. Feige confirmed that the infamous Latverian leader is no longer sidelined. 'There was only one character that could be that because he was that in the comics for decades and decades, and because of the Fox acquisition, we finally had it, and that's Dr. Doom,' says the studio boss. 'We had started talking about Dr. Doom even before we officially pivoted from Kang,' he says, 'In fact, I had started talking with Robert about this audacious idea before Ant-Man 3 even came out.' This marks a significant narrative shift for the MCU, especially in the wake of Jonathan Majors' exit and uncertainty around the Kang storyline. Doctor Doom now appears to be the central villain moving forward. Feige also addressed the future of Blade, a project that has faced multiple delays and creative reshuffles. Despite being removed from the release calendar, the film remains in active development, with Mahershala Ali still set to star. Feige revealed that while there were four versions of Blade in the works, two of them period (one of them set in the 1930s), 'we landed on modern day and that's what we're focusing on.' Feige acknowledged the exits of directors Yann Demange and Bassam Tariq, saying the delays were necessary to protect the integrity of the story and the vision. He added, 'We didn't want to put a leather outfit on him and have him start killing vampires.' 'You can start and have a good script and make it a great script through production, but we didn't feel confident we could do that on Blade. We didn't want to do that to Mahershala and didn't want to do that to us,' he continued. While Blade's timeline is still unclear, Feige's comments suggest Marvel is committed to doing the character justice, even if it takes longer than originally planned.

The Fantastic Four First Steps First Reviews: Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby's ‘Best' Marvel Attempt Earns Rave Reactions
The Fantastic Four: First Steps is dawning upon us, and it's taking every ounce of our self-control not to read the spoilers. However, what we are reading are the first reviews from Western journalists and influencers who have been lucky enough to get an early look at the film ahead of its official release globally on July 25. Directed by Matt Shakman, with a run time of 1 hour and 55 minutes, the Marvel attempt has attracted some very interesting and positive reactions from the first reviewers. What do people think of The Fantastic Four: First Steps so far? George McKay, an X user, wrote, 'Quite possibly the best Marvel Studios film ever released. Absolutely loaded with talent and standout performances from Vanessa Kirby and Joseph Quinn. If you thought the MCU died with Endgame, think again. Thoughtfully crafted and easily a genre-defining classic'. Others called it a film that Marvel 'needed' and praised the perfect casting of the movie. Matt Shakman's work from WandaVision has been brought up and earned him cheers once again. The critiquing has been on-point so far with Matt Neglia saying, 'The story's focus on the theme of family can feel a bit overdone at this point in the MCU, and the villains aren't the most compelling, but the cast does a lot of the heavy-lifting to make you deeply care about these characters, their relationships & the end-of-the-world stakes they face.' The story is already being touted to be a hit at the box office, with many pouring in praise for the main cast members, Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn. Meanwhile, Julia Garner, Natasha Lyonne, Paul Walter Hauser, and Ralph Ineson have also earned their flowers from the audience. We expect an increasingly positive and forthcoming response from the moviegoers in the coming weekend. Adding to the goof run for MCU, the studio seems to be setting up the game right well ahead of the Avengers: Doomsday release in the coming year as the familiar cast members continue filming in secret.
