Exploring space seemed to be absent from “Phase 3” of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, things are about to change. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige stated,
“A lot of our upcoming movies will be as much up here as they are on Earth, starting with Thor: Ragnarok,” Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige told ComicBook.com during a visit to the set of the second Guardians of the Galaxy.
“There are three scenes on Earth in Thor: Ragnarok,” he continued. “Everything else is Asgard, and worlds that certainly, in Thor lingo, are beyond the nine realms. There are planets that we spend a lot of time on in Thor: Ragnarok that certainly people would say, oh, that’s sort of like the Guardians world — they’re just other areas of the Marvel cosmic universe.”
