Avengers 5isn’t happening any time soon. Sebastian Stan revealed the news during a recent interview.Avengers: Endgameis currently the highest grossing movie of all time and it just hit theaters last year, so Marvel Cinematic Universe fans will have to sit with that one for a while. Obviously, that isn’t going to be a problem. As for Stan, he had been working with Anthony Mackie on the Disney+ seriesThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which was recently forced to stop production, along with the rest of Hollywood’s active shoots.
Marvel Studios is taking a step back with theBlack Widowmovie before launching into new characters withEternals, which will now open in theaters early next year. The studio made the difficult decision to move back all of the MCU’s upcoming Phase 4 slate due to the world’s current state of affairs, but this isn’t the main reason thatAvengers 5isn’t happening any time soon.Sebastian Stanhad this to say when asked about a possibleAvengers 5.
“Oh I know nothing. You know I know nothing about that. You know, I’m just… I’m just a man… We’ve got to figure outa couple of other missions firstbefore we even get there. I gotta deal with this other person that I have to deal with. It’s been nice to have a break from [Anthony Mackie]… But we got to figure out some adventures together first before we get there.”
Sebastian Stan uses his humor to deflect, and this interview can be added to the list. However, he probably does not have any idea aboutAvengers 5, which may or may not be in thevery early stages of developmentat this moment. Marvel Studios likes to develop their ideas really early, but that doesn’t mean we’re all going to see it on the big screen in the next 3-5 years, or that any of the actors even know about it yet.
MakingAvengers: EndgameandInfinity Wartook a lot out of the studio, cast, and crew. Sebastian Stan is right when saying that the other stories need to be told first. TheMCU is about to be introduced to a ton of new characters, who will be mixed in with some of the originals.Eternalsis just the start with Phase 4 also introducingShang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, along with the Disney+ shows.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldieris supposed to be the first Marvel series onDisney+to debut. The original release is still scheduled for the end of this summer, but it will more than likely have to get pushed back at some point. Production has been shut down for at least a month now, which is valuable time in Hollywood. As for when the show will debut, that is anybody’s guess at the moment. The interview with Sebastian Stan was originally conducted byVariety’s Instagramlive story event, which, as of this writing, is still up.
