The good guys over at Slash Film have posted excerpts from their chat with Kevin Feige, who's become quite the Marvel mouthpiece as of today, amid promotion for Thor: The Dark World. When the site asked the producer how Ultron will be a bigger threat in The Avengers sequel than Malekith seems to be in The Dark World, Feige explains: "I don’t think it’s going to be about saving the universe every time. We’ve said that. It’s not about saving planet earth every time. It might be many times, but the threat that Ultron brings is certainly worthy of all the Avengers needing to come together and also the timing does play a large part of that. When you see a threat coming you have more time to assemble. There’s not a whole lot more I can say on that."
In light of the three untitled movies the studio has dated for 2016-17, Kevin Feige was then asked if Comic-Con 2014 will be utilized for official movie title reveals. "It’s all in flux. Well, not all in flux, but specific titles for those dates, we are honing in on them. It probably wouldn’t be earlier than Comic-Con to announce that, but perhaps. It’s a long way away." On the prospects of the titles, Feige adds, "I think it’s important, in an ideal world, that we have an additional story on a pre-existing character and then introduce a new character. So next year is The Winter Solider, Guardians…Year after that, Age of Ultron, Ant-Man. That’s a nice rhythm. It might not always be like that. I mean [this year was] Iron Man 3 and The Dark World, so it won’t always be like that necessarily, but that’s certainly something to aim for. So we have additional stories of the existing characters in development and the new ones, all of which you’ve heard before." Make the jump over to Slash Film for Feige's comments on Thor 3.
