Kevin Feige Says That He Recently Had a Marvel Meeting to Discuss the Rules of the Multiverse
The multiverse has finally been introduced into the MCU. A lot of fans thought it would be WandaVision that would break it open, but it turns out that Loki was the series that unleashed the madness. The MCU is never going to be the same after this and now the story possibilities that Marvel Studios can play with are limitless.
Now that the multiverse has been established, it’s going to be excited to see how Marvel plays with it! We know that Spider-Man: No Way Home and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will be affected big time from it, and I’m sure it will spill over into several of the other projects currently in development.
Marvel head Kevin Feige has confirmed that he recently had a meeting to discuss the rules of the Multiverse at the studio. He explained in an interview with D23 Inside Disney podcast (via The Direct):
"As you indicated before we started recording, the multiverse is coming up in a big way. There's interconnectivity there that people have already started to see and suss out and I had a meeting this morning with the whole broad Marvel Studios team going through the multiverse and the rules of the multiverse and exactly how to really deliver on the excitement surrounding the multiverse. Because like with so much with Marvel, that is a topic—when we first had Sam Jackson appear in a cameo at the end of Iron Man. I thought it would be a relatively small group of people that were excited by that and that we'd have to then educate a broader public about what that meant and who Nick Fury was, but almost instantly, if you remember, way back to the Summer of 2008: it ignited everyone's imagination."
Feige also confirmed that they are using a whiteboard to keep track of the continuity of the MCU now that the multiverse is in play. Apparently, they never used one before:
"We used to not need [a whiteboard] because it really was just all in our collective imaginations at the studio. Just before the pandemic, we started going, 'You know, maybe we need a big whiteboard' and then we all went into our houses."
I’m super excited about the MCU now the Multiverse is in play, and I think Marvel is going to deliver some crazy, cool, fun, and awesome off the wall stuff!
