Collider’s own Steve Weintraub recently spoke with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige in anticipation of the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and in speaking about the prospect of actors’ contracts running out and potentially killing off major characters in Avengers: Infinity War and the untitled Avengers 4—which have been described as the culmination of the entire MCU thus far—Feige teased some serious uncertainty with regards to the MCU’s future:

“We’ve been lucky that [contract expirations] haven’t factored in too much. We’ve had people under contract for certain films, then we’ve had new ideas and new directions like Civil War like we wanted to do, and we’ve been lucky enough to make new contracts. Or Spider-Man: Homecoming, the cast has been awesome in their enthusiasm for the direction and the storylines that we’ve been telling. So it really does, right now, all start with where we wanna take the stories. Certainly as we get to Infinity War there is a sense of a climax if not a conclusion to, by the time we’re at untitled Avengers 4, the 22 movies that will have encompassed the first three phases of the MCU. And what happens after that will be very different. I don’t know if it’s Phase 4, it might be a new thing.”

Very interesting...

Well that doesn't surprise me too much.

They've clearly had a mission driving them through Infinity War, and phase 4 may be much more relaxed, with a series of crossover film that aren't all trying build to a major goal. They may just have some fun and eventually plot out a longer term goal that phase 5 builds towards. Who knows. But I wouldn't mind just some fun crossover films, like Wanda joining Strange, or Daredevil teaming up with Spidey, etc.
