Marvel film chief Kevin Feige attended CineEurope in Barcelona this week where Total Film spoke to him about the the studios' upcoming slate.
First up--Scott Derrickson's Doctor Strange movie:
"[W]e think we'll be casting probably in the next month
or two, and announcing an actor, and then we get into production in the
spring of next year. Strange is very, very important, not just because
it's an amazing character study, and a journey of a man who's gone from
this very arrogant surgeon to somebody who is quite zen and literally
keeps all of reality together on a daily basis. [T]here's a whole other side of the Marvel comics, which is that
supernatural side - the interdimensional side of the Marvel universe,
and Doctor Strange is, I believe, our entry point into that other realm,
which has dozens of characters and storylines all of its own."
Feige indicated that more of the intergalactic side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe could be explored in "Guardians of the Galaxy" sequels should
they go ahead and make more:
"There are dozens and dozens of Guardians of the Galaxy storylines. There's a group that came about in the '60s, were revamped
again in the '80s and they changed into this incarnation that you see in
this movie about eight or nine years ago. So there are a lot of other
characters and worlds and stories. So should this film work, should the
audience come out for this one, there are definitely places we can take
it and we have ideas of where we'd like to go with it."
Finally Feige confirms that the"Ant-Man" film is still targeting a July 17th 2015 release, despite the change in directors from Edgar Wright to Peyton Reed:
"Ant-Man is a very important character for us. We like
that people don't necessarily know what it is. We like that it sounds
sort of strange when you first hear the notion of Ant-Man, or a hero
that can shrink, but he's a very key Marvel character. He's a key Avenger . He's an important character we want to bring into our universe
and Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas and an amazing cast all set to start in
August, we believe that we're on the road to the best version of Ant-Man
that we could have."
