During our interview at the Avengers: Infinity War press junket, they told me that they didn’t really have any influence on the creative direction for most of the preceding MCU blockbusters (for example, having the Time Stone in Doctor Strange wasn’t their call), but that communication was key when three different projects were being made at the same time.
That last bit is a mystery that we’ll get to chew on for the next few months while we wait for Ant-Man & The Wasp, but it was just the start of the discussion I had with Joe and Anthony Russo about their movie’s effect on Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
