The producer continued: “We’re really focusing on Captain Marvel and the work that Anna and Ryan are doing. It’s going to be a big part of heading towards this epic conclusion and epic finale of 22 movies over the course of 10 years.
“That is focus for the next six movies we have to finish and get out.
