Vanity Fair recently had the opportunity to sit down with Evangeline Lilly to talk about the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the actress points to Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers 4 being real game changers for this world. That's hardly a surprise but her comments to the magazine are definitely of interest, especially when she compares the movies to the fourth season of hit TV series Lost.
"When I heard about Infinity War and the direction that they’re heading, I did have this moment of realizing, oh, wow, there’s a bit of a déjà vu for me with the Lost franchise," she teases. "We are hitting that [Lost] Season 4 space where everything’s about to shift, and you’re about to lose the solid ground underneath you. And [Ant-Man and the Wasp], of course, will play a part in that."
Just how much of a shift are we talking about? Well, it sounds like the MCU is about to get a whole lot quirkier as the Lilly points to the next Phase of Marvel movies post-Avengers 4 will be very different.
"Frankly, if it wasn’t Kevin at the helm, I think I would be very, very nervous to be losing these pillars and the people who paved a way for characters like the Wasp," the actress said, hinting at some big character losses in the two movies. "When he walked me through the general story arc of Infinity War, it dawned on me: oh, I understand now, we’re moving into this new Phase. The color of that new Phase can be clearly seen emerging through Ant-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Thor: Ragnarok. It’s just a more colorful, more playful, heightened reality that we’re going to enter."
Does that mean every Marvel movie will be like Thor: Ragnarok moving forward? Not necessarily but it's clear we're about to see the MCU undergo some massive changes over the next few years...
