Marvel's Kevin Feige has been dishing about Avengers 2: Age of Ultron, Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers 3, and Thor 3 while giving interviews promoting the recently released Thor: The Dark World.

As fans and critics analyzed the significance of the colors of the Tesseract and the Aether, and the important role that Thanos and the infinity gauntlet played in The Avengers, Feige was asked if this was all building up to the third installment of the franchise.

Feige did not want to confirm anything and suggested that fans of the film were free to make assumptions but that these turning points might actually serve the plot of Guardians of the Galaxy, which will be releasing next year.

"I don't know that I would spell it out that clearly, necessarily, but certainly fans of the comics could surmise that all of this is leading somewhere," he said. "Joss' [Whedon] decision to have Thanos turn around, smile to the audience at the end of Avengers, it was always the plan to show that the Tesseract was indeed an infinity stone. A lot of that will tie first into Guardians of The Galaxy which comes out next year and then where it goes from there we'll see."

When Feige was questioned about the sequel to the recently released Thor: The Dark World, the Marvel head suggested that that would be looking too far into the future and that him and his team were currently focussing on Thor's role in the Age of Ultron, and that that might actually offer jumping points for Thor 3.

"Well we'll see. It won't be until probably sometime next year before we announce the 2016 movies and 2017 movies, and a lot of that will depend on the reception to the next batch of movies," he said. "What we're actively working on is Thor's next appearance in Age of Ultron. Where he goes beyond that we have a lot of ideas. You're right that where we leave the characters in this movie sort of hints what could happen in the future, but we'll see where that goes after Avengers 2." 

The producer went on to talk about the Avengers new antagonist, Ultron, and his being a technology based villain. Feige referred to the technological hero Iron Man and suggested that the Avengers would explore "another form of science and technology" in the fantastical realm. "As we go into Ultron clearly he does come out of technology, but we're using all of our tools at our disposal that we've established so far as part of the MCU to build the storyline of Age of Ultron," he said.

In another interview with Daily News, the producer suggested that Quicksilver would be very different, from what audiences had known him for, in the Age of Ultron. He said that Quicksilver, who actually previously appeared as the son of Magneto in the X-Men, is also a primary Avenger and his parentage will not be emphasized in the Age of Ultron. "The characters are going to be very different. Other than their powers, general audiences might not even know - unless they read your article - that the two are related," he added.
