Kevin Feige Teases DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Will Usher in “The Mutant Era” of the MCU — GeekTyrant

This week, we are finally going to see Deadpool & Wolverine, one of the most anticipated movies in the history of the MCU. Fans are looking for the film to turn Marvel movies in a new direction after a series of films and shows that weren’t so well-received. I have a good feeling about the movie and what will come next.

At this weekend’s Deadpool & Wolverine global press conference, attended by CBM, Marvel President Kevin Feige talked about how this threequel ushers in a new era of storytelling for the MCU. 

“Every [MCU] film is important, and there’s nothing better than a great movie for a Cinematic Universe. The before and after?

I think a lot of people talk about the R-rating and, ‘Is every [Marvel] movie going to be R-rated after this?’ Of course not. But I hope every movie after this embraces its tonality the way the way ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ and the way this team does.”

He went on to add:

“Also, the ‘after’ is clearly…now that we have characters from the ‘X-Men’ world, the Mutants, we haven’t had access to before.

So, this is the beginning of that, and every [movie] post ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ will be the mutant era coming into the MCU.”

This was kind of expected, but it’s cool to hear it confirmed. We will also hear more this week as San Diego Comic-Con kicks off and Marvel returns to Hall H. Stay tuned for updates.
