Saturday night at Comic-Con in San Diego featured our first look at what’s coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and studio head Kevin Feige certainly didn’t hold back.
Marvel’s Saturday night panel was packed with excitement, with many hoping a roadmap for what’s ahead for the MCU. Feige started the panel by declaring the “Infinity Saga” complete. He then shared what’s next for Phase 4 of the MCU.
