In the imaginary and incredible superhero world, it is rare for someone to actually die, as it not only upsets the fans but, there is a common complaint that reality reduces the stakes. However, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige is of the opinion that if we some characters’ ending their stories in the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War might not necessitate them to die, but, he also had a word of caution.
When EW asked him about the losses in the team up film will be “for real,” he said, “Yes. I mean, I could always list off the characters that we’ve killed in our movies that haven’t come back, but the big ones, which I know they’re looking at …?” He paused at that moment and further stated. “I would just say, yes. People need to be careful what they wish for.”
Had it been TV, Feige’s concluding remark might have followed the dramatic suspense music, however, since it isn’t we need to imagine it. His words are also in line with Robert Downey Jr. recent statement related to Infinity War, which has, according to him, “a heads-will-roll scenario.”
All said and done, although he repeated that the movie would wrap up some popular MCU stories, Feige named another much-loved franchise to highlight that ending doesn’t always mean death.
“People always will jump to that,” he said. “That’s not necessarily what we’re talking about. I talk a lot because I’m a big-ass nerd, about Star Trek: The Next Generation, ‘All Good Things.’ That to me is one of the best series finales ever. That wasn’t about death. Picard went and played poker with the crew, something he should have done a long time ago, right?”
