Kevin Feige has surprised fans by confirming that the phase 5 series of movies and TV is already mapped out, even though we are barely at the halfway point of phase 4.
Featuring such favourites as Captain Goat – a goat injected with a super strength serum, The Lampshade – a woman bitten by a radioactive lampshade who develops the powers of a lampshade, and, of course, Smart Haircut Man, who has a smart haircut.
“I am super stoked about Captain Goat,” explained Feige.
“He’ll be kind of a figurehead for phase 5, and without giving too much away, fans of the Catastrophic Farm arc of the Captain Goat comics have got a lot to look forward to.”
As it stands there are no casting announcements, but Meryl Streep has a long-held ambition to play The Lampshade, and it is hard to imagine Marvel turning the multiple Oscar-winner down.
Fans were excited by the news.
“I’m excited,” said Dominic Raab, the newly installed British Foreign Secretary and noted Marvel fan.
“I mean, Smart Haircut Man has always been my favorite Marvel character. I just hope they get his haircut right, because it’ll have to be really, really smart to live up to the comics.”
With Phase 4 continuing apace, the news that phase 5 plans are underway will mean that everyone can enjoy a crushing, relentless churn of superhero movies dominating cinemas for years to come.
