Downey: No plans to do Iron Man 4. http://www.contactmusic.com/article/robert-downey-jr-iron-man-4_4359346
Okay, here's the rumor, and I need further confirmation before getting excited, but it needs discussing. Okay, so rumor is this. Captain America 3 is "Civil War", and Tony/Iron Man is going to be in it as the antagonist, so that's going to be the "other thing", Downey referred to on Letterman instead of IM4. Discuss.
RDJ was on some talk show the other day and said that ID4 was a "go." I know in the past he's said that he'd be willing to do another, but, apparently, they've decided to go ahead and make it.

Marvel Double downs: http://io9.com/marvel-debuts-their-new-phase-3-movies-including-capta-1651832265/all All-in-all, a nice line up.
This site thinks that Thor's storyline will be different than your link. http://comicbook.com/2014/10/28/thor-ragnarok-officially-annouced-given-a-july-28-2017-release-d/
The Thor 3 title could be a two-for, with it representing the end of Asgard and the creation of the Thor clone called Ragnarok (Hemsworth still has two movies in his contract) which could be interesting. With Civil War and the Hulkbuster suit they're obviously looking to mix it up a bit. Hell, Phase 4 could be centred around The Siege storyline, especially as I expect Infinity War to have enough fall out to keep the franchise freshened up, possibly even rebooting parts of the MCU to shift to younger actors in the roles.
Okay, so here's the deal with Sony, Spidey, & Marvel... http://dickynoo.blogspot.com/2014/12/sony-spidey-cinematic-universe-updates.html
Oh, and forgot to mention in that post, Marvel wouldn't re-redo the origin after it being done twice. Spidey will be pre-established like Batfleck in "Dawn Of Justice".
I'm tired of origin stories. Most of them bring little new to the table, and we don't really need them in order to be able to enjoy a film about costumed freaks beating the shit out of one another.
After two Spidey origins in the last 13 years, yeah, I think we can do without. Everyone knows Spider-Man, Mary Jane, Aunt May, J. Jonah Jameson, etc.; they don't need to be reintroduced.
The new Ant-Man trailer. Corey Stoll looks to be playing one of the baddies in the film. I'm assuming Ant-Man takes him out with a combination of hookers, booze, and coke.
And here's a new Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer: Man, they have really made the Hulk life-like; check out the close-ups of him.
Delving deeper into Black Widow's past...me like. Just about confirms some rumors regarding her MCU origins. I noticed the pallet is darker in this movie. Last shot of Hulk is interesting.
It's looking pretty good that Spidey will be in Infinity War. http://www.superherohype.com/news/3...ppear-in-marvels-avengers-infinity-war-part-i
I heard on a podcast that Kevin Feige confirmed that Loki's staff is an Infinity Gem. So, Tesseract, staff, Eather, purple gem from Guardians, that only leaves one more of the five, and I'm betting that one will be in "Doctor Strange".
Except there are six Infinity gems, not five (source). Also, not liking that it's blue in Loki's staff, but not part of the Tesseract, which is the blue gem.
I thought there were Six Gems. But maybe Thanos already has one. Space, Time, Mind, Soul, Power, Reality. And which artifact corresponds with which gem? Tesseract - space or time Aether - reality Staff - mind or soul Orb - power Edit: just saw nautica's link
