Feige On Marvel's "Phase 3"

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly Marvel honcho Kevin Feige talked about two projects that are part of the company's phase three plans.

 

First up, the long-discussed "Doctor Strange" movie in which Feige says:

"Within the next year or so we'll really start the advanced planning on post -"The Avengers 2" and I would love Strange to be a part of that. There's a whole supernatural/magic dimension going on in Marvel comics that we haven't ever touched on."

He spoke about a potential "Hulk" solo film and once again denied reports of a possible film based on the "Planet Hulk" storyline from the comics:

"There's no script in the works or anything, but we are talking about it. All the Hulk energy right now is on Avengers 2, but Mark Ruffalo is signed up [for more films]. What we're excited about exploring and expanding is Mark - and Bruce Banner is not in Planet Hulk at all. The fun of Hulk is his interaction with humans."

Finally the question of a "Iron Man 4" came up. and Feige says he intends for the character to continue on the big screen, whether Robert Downey Jr. returns or not:

"I believe there will be a fourth 'Iron Man' film and a fifth and a sixth and a 10th and a 20th. I see no reason why Tony Stark can't be as evergreen as James Bond. Or Batman, for that matter. Or Spider-Man"
