MORE “Avengers” movies could be on their way, Disney said Tuesday, following the global success of “Avengers: Infinity War,” which has smashed box office records since its release last month. Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Bob Iger told analysts on an earnings call that the fourth, already announced “Avengers” movie in the Marvel comic book franchise, due to be released in May 2019, would have a “significant conclusion.” But, Iger added, “Given the popularity of the characters and given the popularity of the franchise, I don’t think people should conclude that there will never be another ‘Avengers’ movie. There’s certainly a lot more stories to tell, a lot more characters to populate those stories with,” he said. “Avengers: Infinity War,” which brought together more than 20 Marvel superheroes, has earned more than US$1 billion globally, even before it opens in China.
