In 2018, in the lead-up to the release of ‘Avengers: Infinity War,’ Rotten Tomatoes sat down for an extended interview with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, in which he gave us a complete oral history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first three phases. This week, as Marvel gets ready to release, ‘Black Widow,’ its first film into theaters in more than two years – the last being the Phase Three-capping ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ – Feige again sat down with us for an exclusive extended chat, this time to reflect on the end of the Infinity Saga, the studio’s move into streaming limited series, and to preview some of the most anticipated titles coming up in a jam-packed Phase Four, from Chloé Zhao’s ‘Eternals’ to ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.’ In this first instalment of our interview, Feige reflects on an ‘Endgame’ moment that still gives him (and us) chills, how Marvel Studios chooses which characters get limited series and which get films, the phenomenon of “Agatha All Along,” the choice to explore Sam’s struggles with the idea of being Captain America, and Scarlett Johansson’s journey from ‘Iron Man 2’ to ‘Black Widow.’ Plus, for the first time, Feige weighs in on the importance of LGBTQ+ representation in the MCU following the reveal that Loki is bisexual. Check the Rotten Tomatoes channel next week for Part 2 of Feige’s Phase Four breakdown.
