Recently, Marvel Studios
President, Kevin Feige sat down with Collider to talk about making Guardians of
the Galaxy, and after a few questions ended up talking about casting Josh
Brolin to play the mad titan Thanos, if there will be any casting announcements
at Comic Con pertaining Doctor Strange, what's the update on Thor 3, and Cap 3,
Wakanda, Robert Downey Jr. returning for Iron Man 4 and more.
"…
You got Josh Brolin for
Thanos. Was it tough to get him? Talk a little bit about landing
him for the role and why you chose him.
FEIGE: We knew he was
going to be in this movie. We wanted somebody to be more than just the
voice. Josh did the performance as well. We were looking at a wish
list of, “Wouldn’t it be great if names,” and his name was on it. And you
look at his face and the performances he gives, he could be Thanos without any
effects. He has that kind of face and that kind of gravitas to it.
We reached out to him and it
was one of those things that does not happen all the time but when it does it’s
very nice, where he was totally intrigued. He was a fan of what we did,
he met with Jeremy Latcham in a hotel in London and learned about the
characters a little bit. I spoke to him on the phone a few times.
We ran it by James who loved it, ran it by Joss who loved it because Thanos is
in this universe because of Avengers. Then we shot him
and recorded for it.
When you signed Josh for
Thanos, I’m assuming he had to sign a multi-picture deal.
FEIGE: Usually people
do, yes.
Right now, we did not see the
Easter egg that’s gonna be at the end of the credits of Guardians.
Was it because the scene is not done yet or is it because you don’t want people
to know until opening day?
FEIGE: It is done and it
always varies. There’s no rhyme or reason, necessarily. Sometimes
there are things that I think are just more fun to be discovered by the
people. The normal people, not fancy pants like yourself who see it early
and complain is not in IMAX—but to have a surprise on opening night. And
it does vary, sometimes it’s because it’s not ready, sometimes we include it
and sometimes we hold it back. We just decided it’d be fun to hold this
one back.
You guys announced five
untitled movies through 2019. Do you know what the movies are and it’s
just a question of when you announce them?
FEIGE: Yes.
Will fans at Comic-Con in a
few days, Saturday night at 6 o’clock, hear about some of the Phase 3 movies
that have not yet been announced?
FEIGE: Maybe.
That’s me being less sly than you think or less coy than you think.
Sure, so it’s a question of,
if contracts get signed before Saturday. I understand, Sir. Jumping
into status of Thor 3 and Captain America 3.
FEIGE: Both in
development, both in the works. Cap has already been
announced, so that’s up first. That’s in a further stage. Thor is
being outlined right now, so both in the works.
Have you cast Doctor Strange?
FEIGE: No.
So, no announcement at
Comic-Con in terms of who’s playing him? Or that’s one of those
contracts?
FEIGE: [nods]
I understand. On
Twitter, a lot of people said, now that we’ve gone to Asgard for Thor and outer
space for Guardians, can we go to Africa for Black Panther or can we get a
female-led superhero movie in the near future?
FEIGE: I think we could,
it’s a matter of when. It’s a matter of what are those dates, it’s a
matter of juggling multiple, successful franchises. Is there a downside
to managing multiple, successful franchises? I believe we’re figuring out
that there is, which is having the time to do them all. So, at what point
do we hold back a franchise or have three or four years between parts of a
franchise in order to introduce new ones? Or do you introduce new ones
within the body of the films? We’re looking at all those things right
now.
...
Have you talked to Mr. Downey
about a possible Iron Man 4? What’s the status? Or is
it just Avengers for Robert?
FEIGE: Of course
anything’s a possibility. Who the heck knows? We have a lot of work
to go to finish Avengers 2. We have a lot of work for
whatever Avengers 3 is, that’s all folks need to know. Who knows
what happens after that.
