He also said that the mission of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is to keep expanding and surprising people. “If we’re moving into this world of crossover events, certainly that affords opportunity for other large-scale stories from the books like Secret Wars — which was another favorite comic of mine as a kid. There’s big potential moving forward if the Fox/Disney deal closes,” he stated. Avengers 4 is all set to hit theatres in May 2019.
