During a recent press conference for
Captain America: Civil War,
Chris Evans (who's appeared in six Marvel films, including
Civil War)
spoke on Marvel Studios, and revealed that he thinks the studio should keep expanding.
"I say, let’s keep going, let’s let the wave get bigger and bigger. It’s not like they’re making bad movies, they’re making great movies and if you want to put them in this superhero box you can but they’re good movies.” The 34 year old actor then added
, "They’ve got a monopoly on it, they’re doing it and no one else can try and copy it.” So far, no one else has been able to.
Marvel CEO
Kevin Fiege was also present at the conference. While he didn't reveal any crucial information, he took the time to recognize the history Marvel Studios is making.
“I’ve said it before, and it’s only getting more and more accurate as cast members keep joining, there has never been an ensemble like this in cinematic history." Later in the conference, director
Anthony Russo spoke on
Captain America: Civil War, and revealed what he and his brother (Joe Russo) were going for while making the third Captain America film.
“We knew we wanted to tell a very complicated story between Captain America and Iron Man and we’re big fans of balance in storytelling, movies that make us laugh and cry. We wanted to bring in characters that didn’t have the same emotional investment that The Avengers had. Bringing in characters like Spider-Man and Ant-Man, who don’t have that baggage, allowed us to bring new color to the film.”
