But now Joss Whedon is taking on a new challenge as he’s going to be directing a Batgirl film for DC. The world recently found out about Joss Whedon’s Batgirl film, but Kevin Feige told THR he’s known for months, and he completely supports Joss.

“He called. A couple months ago, which he didn’t have to do and was super cool of him and super nice of him,” Feige said. “And we couldn’t be more supportive. We want to see a Joss Whedon Batgirl film be awesome.”

Joss Whedon isn’t the only Marvel Studios alumni that will soon be working with a different studio, as it was also recently announced that Josh Brolin will be playing Cable in “Deadpool 2.” Feige was also asked about the fact that Thanos and Cable will be played by the same actor, and he feels that the characters are different enough so it won’t be a problem.

“We don’t have anything written into our contracts about other roles that people can do,” said Feige when asked about the casting. “Indiana Jones and Han Solo are the same person … it hasn’t been a problem. And I think Thanos and Cable are two very different characters.”

Marvel and Sony will be teaming up to make the film together and Kevin Feige recently talked about what Marvel’s role is in the collaboration. Collider asked Feige how much input Marvel has on the film and he explained that they’re mostly in charge of creative.

“We’re working very much [together]. It is a— I don’t know exactly what the credits will be, but it is a Sony Pictures production of a Marvel Studios film.” Feige said. “The agreement was that it is very much a Sony Pictures movie. Amy Pascal is co-producing it with us and [Sony Chairman] Tom Rothman is leading the charge for Sony and that we are the creative producers. We are the ones hiring the actor, introducing him in this film, and then working right now on the script and soon to be shooting the actual Spidey film.”

Spider-Man’s introduction in “Civil War” will be interesting as viewers won’t be seeing his origin. Spider-Man’s origin story is well known all over the world and Marvel doesn’t feel that it needs to be told again.

“We spend a lot of time as we work on these movies saying ‘Don’t take it for granted that the audience saw the other the other movies or that the audience is as versed in the comic books as we are.’ We take great pains to give you everything you need to know within the context of whatever movie you’re actually watching. However, we did say, if it’s safe to assume anything, it’s safe to assume that everybody knows how Spider-Man became Spider-Man and what that backstory was. We’ve seen it a number of times now, it’s its own well-known mythology. So we said, let’s reveal that there’s been a Spider-Man in the MCU and we meet him, as you see, in [Civil War].”

The currently untitled Spider-Man film will be swinging into theaters on July 7, 2017.
