Wasn't sure where to post this, so it gets its own thread.

[Kodamarama]

Totally sploosh.

[Glasgowchivas]

Lol at the Serpent Society gag.

Also, FUCKING HELL!!!!

[Mr. Gerbik]

OH GOD YES - especially at the Infinity Gauntlet/War bit

[cassidy]

Well I'm covered in mess now. The guy cast as Black Panther is superb as James Brown btw. So that's some good casting.

[Nick R]

Doctor Strange (directed by Scott Derrickson) - 4 November 2016

... But they still haven't officially confirmed Benedict Cumberbatch yet, right?

And: two Avengers Threes? A full year apart, so they're not going the Matrix sequels/BTTF sequels/Harry Potter 7 route and having a gap of only a few months between movies?

[Gabe]

That is a lot of films and narratives to tie-together!

Good to see a female superhero finally get to take front and centre, though. Hope it is a focussed fully on Captain Marvel though and not just used as a platform to introduce loads of other male characters.

[Mr. Gerbik]

The Infinity epicness does warrant two parts to be fair. Habe you read the Infinity Gauntlet? It's properly epic!

[Gabe]

And: two Avengers Threes? A full year apart, so they're not going the Matrix sequels/BTTF sequels/Harry Potter 7 route and having a gap of only a few months between movies?

I actually started typing out exactly the same question, but then figured they didn't go with that because it is likely to have a fairly long tail at the cinema and then the Bluray release which they won't want to harm.

[cassidy]

So everyone appearing in the two avengers films. Guardians and all the new guys.

[Hexx]

[hub2]

So looks like at least 2019 for any potential Iron Man 4, Doctor Strange 2, Ant-man 2?

[Nick R]

[Mr Cochese]

Yo dawg, we heard you liked superheroes...

[Mortis]

We've also got a fantastic 4 reboot, sinister 6, Spider-Man 3 and god knows what else - anyone else worried audiences might get a bit fatigued of all the comic book movies?

Edit - beaten to it

[Flams]

Carry on Avenging

[Mr Cochese]

To think people were declaring the superhero fad over, back when Iron Man was announced. No- one then could have foreseen a Captain Strange film.

[mdn2]

So, anyone whose read the comics able to shed light on what Thor:Ragnarok will be about?

EDIT: Pleased Guardians of the Galaxy did so well for Marvel otherwise I bet half of those wouldn't have been greenlit.

[cubik]

I think a little bit of wee just came out.

[Tofu]

Captain Marvel.

Yes.

[Nick R]

[DocG]

I am dead of sploosh.

Fox can fuck off. Sony can fuck off. DC Men Of Grey can fuck off, twice. This is Marvel's house. MY BODY IS READY.

[Azrael]

There's also those Marvel Netflix shows too, are they part of the MCU? When do we get them?

Wish the rights to Spidey and the Fantastic Four would revert so they can get involved with these films.

[JohnC]

Interesting that there's two movies between the two parts of Avengers. I wonder if that storyline will also be part of them to some extent, sort of spreading it across four movies?

[Chow]

So, anyone whose read the comics able to shed light on what Thor:Ragnarok will be about?

It's Thor. So something extremely boring.

[Tofu]

Can't wait til we see Sony do the Clone Saga.

[JohnC]

There's also those Marvel Netflix shows too, are they part of the MCU? When do we get them?

Yeah, Agents of SHIELD, Agent Carter and the four Netflix shows (coming together for a Defenders mini-series) are all MCU too. Daredevil is next May, with the usual Netflix thing of the whole 13 episode show coming the same day. Other launch dates haven't been announced yet.
