Feige, the president of Marvel Studios, which is behind films including Black Panther and Avengers: Endgame, told ComicBook.com: “We talk to him for almost every film we make.
“I don’t know when, if, or ever he’ll join the MCU (Marvel Connected Universe), but we very much want to figure out the right way to do it.”

John Wick star Reeves, 54, is a cult figure among some fans and has been dubbed the “internet’s boyfriend”, with social media users sharing stories of the actor’s random acts of kindness.
His most recent role saw him playing daredevil toy Duke Caboom in Toy Story 4.
There is also an online petition calling for Time magazine to make the Canadian its person of the year. It has so far attracted 43,000 signatures.
