This article includes spoilers from The Fantastic Four: First Steps.Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige shares more details on the bigMarvelcrossovers that are set to happen inAvengers: Doomsday. While Phase 6 has just begun withThe Fantastic Four: First Steps, the final chapter ofThe Multiverse Sagawill finally give the audience not one, but twoAvengersmovies.

In 2026, audience members are finally going to get to see two major eras of Marvel come together, as several originalX-Mencast members are set to reprise their roles fromthe Fox films inAvengers: Doomsday. For Feige, it will be a huge full-circle moment ashe originally was part of producing Fox’sX-Menmoviesbefore he started running Marvel Studios.

In a new interview withMarvel, Feige spoke about the MCU’s future followingThe Fantastic Four: First Steps, asAvengers: Doomsdaywill be where the franchise will see Marvel’s First Family next. While teasinghow The Fantastic Four will fit with the Avengers and X-Men, Feige shared the following:

The fun of an Avengers movie is introducing people to each other and seeing how very different personalities get along. In the case of a movie that involves the threat of worlds literally colliding, it’s fun to see them visit each other’s homes. So with the Baxter Building set, let’s say it had four or five people in it at most in the Fantastic Four movie. And it’s got a heck of a lot more people in it [in Doomsday]. It’s a thrill to see that interaction. And it’s surreal for me, who’s been around for 25 years.

When Feige was asked about revisiting the X-Men following his own history of producing those earlier movies, he said the following:

It was another dream that we just didn’t think about for many years. Deadpool & Wolverine scratched the surface of that. And now, we’re really delving into it with Doomsday.

What Kevin Feige’s Avengers: Doomsday Comments Means

The X-Men, Avengers, & Fantastic Four Will Finally Share The Big Screen

Anthony and Joe Russo, who directedThe Fantastic Four: First Stepspost-credits scene, are actively shootingAvengers: Doomsday. The Russo brothers are also officially set to helmAvengers: Secret Wars, which will have its principal photography separately fromAvengers: Doomsday.

Given that Feige mentioned how the Baxter Building fromThe Fantastic Four: First Stepswill be used inAvengers: Doomsday,it means that there will be a visit to Earth-828 at some point in the 2026 installment. SinceThe Fantastic Four: First Stepsended withRobert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doomvisiting Franklin Richards, a trip to Earth-828 makes perfect sense.

Having the original cinematic takes on the X-Men crossing paths with the MCU’s Avengers and Fantastic Four is, for many reasons, going to be a massive deal.The originalX-Menmovies played a vital part in the early 2000s in launching the superhero movie genre before the MCU even existed, which makes this crossover inAvengers: Doomsdayone of the most anticipated moments.

Our Take On Kevin Feige’s Avengers: Doomsday Comments

Feige’s Just As Much Of A Fan As The Audience

Knowing Feige’s history with theX-Menfilms,it’s understandable to hear him be as excited as he is for the culmination inAvengers: Doomsday, especially with Marvel Studios having the rights to the mutants. The bigger question, however, is whether the sameX-Menstars will be part oftheAvengers: Secret Warscastin 2027.

It wouldn’t be shocking if most - if not all - of theDoomsdaycast members are also slated to return forSecret Wars, given how the two films are connected. But asAvengers: Doomsdaycontinues filming, time will tell how the X-Men and Fantastic Four will engage with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
