The sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming will kickstart a new chapter for the Marvel Cinematic Universe after the events of Avengers 4, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige confirmed.

Feige told the Toronto Sun that Avengers 4, which currently does not have a working title, would be the last installment in the current MCU.

After that movie, Feige explained, the sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming will represent a new period for Marvel.

It will help to kickstart a new MCU future with new superheroes for audiences to get to know.

Despite Feige using the term “end,” Avengers 4 won’t mark the conclusion of a canonical universe.

The sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming will usher in a new period for Marvel, allowing the studio to focus on newer characters just making their debuts.

Before then, however, Marvel will release Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War and Captain Marvel. »

During his commencement speech at Harvard, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg called for exploring a system of wealth distribution known as "universal basic income.".

Under basic income, all citizens would receive a standard amount of money each month to cover basic expenses like food, rent, and clothes.

It's not technically basic income, since the amount varies each year and is too small by most advocates' standards, but it's the closest thing the US has to an ongoing basic income experiment. »
