In an interview with Fandango, Kevin Feige gave a number of cryptic teases about this new duology. As he tells it, the 2 motion pictures will likely be linked in a “very completely different manner” than how Infinity Conflict and Endgame operated.

Feige known as it “as formidable a challenge as we’ve ever launched into.” Huge phrases, given the MCU’s pedigree over time, however not solely sudden. The Multiverse Saga’s been far and wide, however it’s been clear for years that Marvel’s wished it to exit with a bang and use it as a possibility to do issues it couldn’t do earlier than, both legally or creatively. In spite of everything, you don’t get a bunch of veteran actors from Marvel’s cinematic history again should you’re not going all out.
