Today, Marvel had a huge event where the company revealed all of the movies that will comprise Phase 3 and their release dates. In addition to providing official titles for Captain America 3 and Thor 3 (Captain America: Civil War and Thor: Ragnarok), the studio also officially announced long-awaited new titles such as Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and Inhumans.
Following the Q&A, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige held a Q&A with reporters, and revealed plenty of new details regarding these upcoming movies. Hit the jump for more.
For simplicity's sake, we're going to break this down film-by-film:
- Black Panther will debut in Civil War, and we'll get to see him full costume.
- Black Panther will definitely be a big part of Civil War
- It's not about secret identities (like in the comics), and more about who do superheroes report to.
- They've met with writer Reggie Hudlin (who worked on the Black Panther animated series), but they're meeting with lots of people.
- Carol Danvers will be the alter-ego of Captain Marvel in this adaptation.
- Feige says we'll be getting some Easter eggs sooner than you might expect.
Miscellaneous:
- Hulk will appear in all of the Avengers movies, but a solo movie is still up in the air.
- Black Widow will be featured in Avengers movies, but won't be getting solo films. She's "really important" in Age of Ultron and future Avengers movies.
- Black Panther's nation of Wakanda will be in Age of Ultron.
- Feige will not talk about Phase 4 yet (THAT BASTARD).
- Anything that wasn't revealed today is just a rumor until things are worked out (i.e. Cumberbatch still hasn't signed on the dotted line for Doctor Strange).
- The Runaways script is still in the vault, and they still want to do something with it. It might end up on TV, but they're not sure.
