Marvel had a huge event today where they invited members of the press and fans alike to witness some massive news on their future feature films plans. Let’s waste no time and get right to discussing this overload of awesome news, shall we?
First off, Captain America 3 is coming May 6, 2016, but now it has an official name: Captain America: Civil War. They confirmed at the event thta Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans will be going head to head in the film, which sounds utterly incredible.
The following Marvel movie also arrives in 2016, November 4th to be specific, and that feature is…Doctor Strange!
Next up is their 2017 features, the first of which is Guardians of The Galaxy 2, which will be unleashed May 5, 2017 and directed by James Gunn. Hooray, it’s coming earlier than expected! Can’t wait come and get some more Rocket Raccoon!!
July 28, 2017 will bring forth Marvel’s second feature for the year, the third Thor adventure entitled Thor: Ragnarok!
The final film for 2017, the first year the studio will release three movies, is Black Panther!!! The famous Avenger will finally make his way to the big screen on November 3, 2017. Wakanda shall finally come to the big screen, likely with Andy Serkis as Klaw and certainly with Chadwick Boseman, who was confirmed to be playing the superhero Black Panther today!
Finally, they announced their 2018 films as well. July 8, 2018 will bring Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel to the big screen!! Huzzah, huzzah!!
One of the other 2018 films (there are three) arrives November 2, 2018 and will be a feature centered on The Inhumans!!
The final one announced at the event for 2018 was The Avengers: Infinity War Part One for May 4, 2018, and then Part Two the following year, on May 3, 2019.
Wow. What a line-up! We’re finally getting movies for Black Panther and Carol Danvers, and Inhumans, freaking Inhumans!!! Plus, new adventures for Captain America, Guardians of The Galaxy and Thor!! Looks like these new adventures will be building up to the Infinity Gauntlet storyline, not too surprising, but what is surprising is how much definitive detail was given for these projects. Boseman for Black Panther (I’m almost certain now he’ll be in Age of Ultron), new dates, it’s all too amazing. Plus, it’s great to see Marvel making films with African-American and female leads, especially with such beloved comic book characters.
I think I speak for everyone when I say…MAKE MINE MARVEL!!!
