Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige shared some staggering numbers, revealing that the box-office earnings of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have now topped $30 billion. The success of the recently released “Deadpool & Wolverine” contributed to this milestone. To kick off the panel, a choir performed Madonna’s “Like a Prayer,” setting the stage for the exciting announcements to come.
The Russo brothers, directors of the upcoming “Avengers” movies, made an appearance, along with several actors from the Marvel universe. Harrison Ford joined the stage to tease his character’s role in the next “Captain America” film, where he transforms into the Red Hulk.
The panel also shed light on other upcoming projects, such as “Captain America: Brave New World,” “Thunderbolts,” and “The Fantastic Four.” Fans were treated to exclusive clips and details about these highly anticipated films.
