Kevin Feige says Marvel fans should not expect a female superhero movie anytime soon.
The Marvel president told Movies.com that the company is not adding any movies to the company's current slate. He said, "We make two movies a year, we've planned through 2015 and we have some ideas of what we're doing in 2016 and 2017, so we'll see what happens."
When asked about a female superhero movie, Feige said, "I know we have numerous exciting female heroes, whether none of them are currently slated, some of them are in development -- frankly, you can look at what Jane Foster does in ['Thor: The Dark World'], look at Pepper Potts literally saving the day and defeating the bad guy in 'Iron Man 3,' and I'd say we already have great female heroes that are showcased and play major roles in our universe now."
He added that the upcoming Captain America will see the Black Widow played by Scarlet Johansson. He said, "'Captain America: The Winter Soldier,' as you will see, features Black Widow in her biggest role yet in any of our films."
Marvel is currently planning a "Doctor Strange" film for 2016 and will potentially adapt the "Black Panther." However, nothing has been confirmed. Currently the company is strictly working on the next film in "The Avengers" franchise, which has already featured "Iron Man 3" and the upcoming "Thor: The Dark World." The company will next release "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," "Guardians of Galaxy" and "The Avengers: Age of Ultron."
