Is the franchise at a turning point between magic and technology before Avengers: Doomsday?
It became the specialist Marvel To conclude the phases of MCU.
After brilliantly concluding the phase IV Marvel Cinematic Universe with Wakanda Forever (in 2022), Ryan Coogler today the badge honors to complete the phase V with Ironheartthe Disney+event series. But what does that mean concretely?
Ryan Coogler laughs when asked the question. The executive producer of the show entrusts with a smile that these stories of phases are quite vague, even for him:
“I would like to have a constructed and developed answer to this question but the truth is that I don’t really know what the phases correspond to. I just had the opportunity to have fun, to create in this immense playground and it is an incredible honor that I wanted to share with Chinaka Hodge (creator and screenwriter). Both, we come from the same city, Oakland (California) Make the same movie school!
Does the series lay the foundations for phase VI?
That being said, the last episode ofIronheart – broadcast since today on Disney Plus – has not been content to close the series: “It’s a real game-chainger“insists Cooglerwhich returns to the major place given to magic in this second part of the series, where it is associated directly with the genius of Riri Williams:
“This merger of magic and technology sets the foundations for what happens in phase VI, if you want …” reveals the producer, who believes that Ironheart disembark “in a perfect timing“, just before the introduction of Doctor Doom in Avengers : Doomsday (in 2026 at the cinema):
“We know that Doctor Doom draws his energy from this combination between Tony Stark technology and magic. It must be remembered that from the first Avengers film, this duality existed through the character of Loki … I believe that the series comes at a perfect moment to lay the foundations of where the next films will go.”
Conclude phase V with Ironheart It is therefore not as anecdotal as that.
In any case, for the designer Chinaka Hodgeit’s an honor: “I who was very marked by Iron Man when I was young, it is a great pride to have the chance to conclude this phase with big upheavals for the saga, and introduce a new world that mixes technology and magic.”
It remains to be seen in what form will come back Riri Williams in the rest of the Marvel Universe. For the time being, Dominique Thorne is not announced in the casting ofAvengers : Doomsday.
