Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 2 & 3 thread.

That is all.

Four directors and two writers up for Dr. Strange.

Interesting to me, is this bit...

I know how to do it, because it's right in the comic.

With Thor, the magic is really alien tech; Dr. Strange's magic is dimensional.

In Strange's world, dreams aren't just in your head, but dimensions of the universe, and dreams within dreams take you into deeper realms.
"Magic", is just when you bring dream physics back with you.
So, think "Matrix", meets "Inception", taken to the next step.

Black Widow solo movie.

Bam.

I've been reading the new Black Widow comic and I'm liking it a lot. The theme is that she's doing mercenary work, but it's all in an effort to earn money to make amends for her past. I think if a film were pursued along those lines it could work very well.

And if it's got Scarlett Johannson running around in tight leather clothes, I'm definitely in.

From Black Widow #1...

Holy shit, Kevin Feige has the blueprint worked out all the way to 2028!!

Safe to say, every character will get a moment in the sun by then.

^Why I'm glad Disney is taking over Star Wars. They take care of their IP and plan out DECADES.

Fuck!!

Josh Brolin is Thanos!

He's been replaced with Peyton Reed.
(Whoever the hell that is)

Some Avengers 2 plot & costume news.

http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/32625/-avengers-ant-man-costume-villain-talk

Isn't Fillion a little old for that role?

Isn't he one of the Guardians Of The Galaxy?

Ope, now Gunn himself says it's not Nova.

Holy moly, you don't think they'd have him playing the Comet, do you? That's waaaaaaaaaaaaay obscure!

Oh wait . . . Avengers: Age of Ultron stinger, not Guardians of the Galaxy. Hmmm . . . what character is of the right age . . . One of the Elders, maybe?

personally, I don't particularly want him buried in some fringy role as a Green Lantern ripoff in an ugly helmet. I'd rather wait and hope it gets to play Hal Jordan myself. If he is going to be in the Marvel movies better something that is suited to take advantage of his charm I would think (not that I know a damn thing about Nova/Richard Ryder)

Possible spoilers for Avengers 2, so...

Marvel's production schedule.
The "TBD",s will be plugged up when they make their Comicon announcements, but, we're nerds, why not let's get speculating now?

August 1st 2014: "Guardians of the Galaxy"
May 1st 2015: "Avengers: Age of Ultron"
July 17th 2015: "Ant-Man"
May 6th 2016: "Captain America 3"
July 8th 2016: TBD (likely "Doctor Strange")
May 5th 2017: TBD
July 28th 2017: TBD
November 3rd 2017: TBD
July 6th 2018: TBD
November 2nd 2018: TBD
May 3rd 2019: TBD


http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/33010/marvel-announces-five-new-film-release-dates

I can guess at the first couple, the rest

My (wild ass) guesses:

May 6th 2016: "Captain America 3"
July 8th 2016: "Doctor Strange"
May 5th 2017: "Thor 3"
July 28th 2017: "Guardians of the Galaxy 2"
November 3rd 2017: "Black Panther"
July 6th 2018: "Avengers 3"
November 2nd 2018: "Planet Hulk"
May 3rd 2019: "Iron Man 4" (Yep, I said it. I think the franchise is too valuable to lay dormant...RDH will hand off to a new IM)...if there's another Marvel film this same summer, it will be "Doctor Strange 2"

I just hope they cast Pedro Pascal as Dr. Strange!

I can't see a Planet Hulk even vaguely similar to the comic story happening, mainly as it'd mean very little Ruffalo, although I'm sure Lou Ferrigno would appreciate the voice over work.

I can see a Hulk in Space forming the spine which would lead Thanos to Earth for Avengers 3 though.

Speak of the Devil...
James Gunn shoots down both Planet Hulk, and a Hulk/Guardians crossover.

http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/33036/-planet-hulk-rumors-are-bull-says-james-gunn

While I'm no doubt wrong about Planet Hulk, my prediction for Iron Man 4 may be pretty accurate...and RDJ sounds open to continue playing the role!

Marvel added another mystery movie onto their timeline.
May 4th, 2018, (between where Paladin placed Black Panther, and Avengers 3)

So, here it is again.

May 1, 2015 – Avengers: Age of Ultron
July 17, 2015 – Ant-Man
May 6, 2016 – Captain America 3
July 8, 2016 – Untitled Marvel Studios Film
May 5, 2017 – Untitled Marvel Studios Film
July 28, 2017 – Untitled Marvel Studios Film
November 3, 2017 – Untitled Marvel Studios Film
May 4, 2018 – Untitled Marvel Studios Film
July 6, 2018 – Untitled Marvel Studios Film
November 2, 2018 – Untitled Marvel Studios Film
May 3, 2019 – Untitled Marvel Studios Film

Could it be a female hero?
Ms. Marvel? Solo Black widow?

One day RDJ says he's interested in playing Iron Man again and the next a film gets dropped into the primo summer spot? I don't believe in coincidence. The May 4th date (my birthday!) is Iron Man 4.

2012 May ? Avengers 1
2015 May 1 Avengers 2
2018 May 4 (my birthday as well!!) do the math...

They plan on rebooting the franchise 100 years from now? Isn't that a bit optimistic?
