SFX Magazine caught up with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige for a feature in their March issue and asked him all sorts of interesting questions regarding the many movies Marvel have in development…

Up first Feige talked about how Iron Man 2, Thor and The First Avenger: Captain America movies will lay the foundation for the much anticipated Avengers movie.

“It’s fun now, and we’re introducing some new characters in ['Iron Man 2'], but it’s not about just cramming in lots of new people; that’s sort of the cardinal sin of the sequel – adding in too many characters. This is totally Tony Stark’s story. And that’s gonna weave into Thor’s story, and Steve Rogers’ story, and it’s already ingrained with Nick Fury’s story and an organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D.”

He then went on to add that the most important thing for all the above movies is that they are able to stand on their own feet…

“My only concern is that when we launch a franchise–whichever character’s franchise that may be–it should stand on its own two feet… So by the time ‘The Avengers’ comes in 2012, it’s not just a team superhero movie with a bunch of characters with powers. It’s three people – four including the Hulk; five including Nick Fury – who you’ve seen before in other movies, coming together for the very first time.”

Notice he mentioned the Hulk? The interviewer did and asked him about the possibility of seeing a second Incredible Hulk movie…

“That would be post-’Avengers,’ if it happened… I think there’s a chance. It’s certainly our intention to use the same actors from film to film where we can.”

And finally, Feige spoke of other Marvel superheroes that he would like to see get their own movies…

“I love Doctor Strange. Ant-Man is like Whiplash – one of those characters where you’re like, ‘Really?’ that we’ve got a fun story with. I’ve always wanted to do something with Black Panther. I think what Ed Brubaker and Matt Fraction have done with Iron Fist lately is great, and the Iron Fist mythology opens up a whole other part to us. I’d love to break into the cosmic side of the Marvel Universe even more- it’s kind of there in ‘Thor.’ J.J. Abrams’ ‘Star Trek’ got me jonesing to do that. It’s what I grew up on – ‘Star Trek’ and ‘Star Wars.’ I want to do a big space epic. And we’ve got them in Marvel.”
