A nod at Comic-Con 2019
Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, gave us a wink last Saturday during his impressive panel at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con, where they made known Phase 4 of the MCU. Feige expressed his gratitude to the fans: “Thanks to all of you, 'Avengers: Endgame' is the greatest movie of all time.”
James Cameron didn't miss the opportunity and, in true Pandora style, sent his congratulations via social media with an image merging both worlds along with the following message: Oel Ngati Kamele, I see you, Marvel. Congratulations to Avengers: Endgame for being the new box office king. – Jim Cameron
