Kevin Feige got up on stage at the big Marvel event today and talked up Phase 3 for the Marvel cinematic Universe, that includes huge flicks for Black Panther and Captain Marvel!
For the last several months we’ve known that Marvel had staked a claim on future movies and release dates, but it wasn’t until today that we have confirmation of those movies.
Here’s the list presented by Kevin Feige:
Captain America: Civil War – May 06 2016
Doctor Strange: Serpent Society – November 04, 2016
The movie is being directed by Scott Derrickson.
“It takes a while to work on these movies before they’re ready to come to you in theaters,” said Feige. “Doctor Stephen Strange, brilliant neurosurgeon, bit of an arrogant fellow who gets in a car accident and ruins what he thinks are the tools of his trade: his hands.
“In the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of the supernatural, that involves everything from quantum mechanics to string theory. The idea of this film is to open up a whole new corner of the cinematic universe. We want to enter, through Strange, the world of parallel dimensions.”
Guardians of the Galaxy – May 5, 2017
Thor: Ragnarok – July 28, 2017
Comic readers know that Ragnarok is the end of all things, and with Thor’s arm laying on the ground in the Age of Ultron trailer, are we going to see the end of Chris Hemsworth as Thor?
Black Panther – November 03, 2017
Long awaited and much anticipated! Chadwick Boseman will be playing the hero.
“Black Panther is kind of his own guy” – Boseman
Captain Marvel – July 06, 2018
Yes, this will be Carol Danvers!
Inhumans – November 02, 2018
We’ve been expecting this, and it looks like Marvel Studios has found its alternate mutants
Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1 – May 2018
Avengers: Infinity War – Part 2 – May 2019
if you were wondering how Guardians of the Galaxy was going to fit into the MCU, now you know. it’s interesting, though not surprising that the movie is being broken into two movies, and it should be a way to close out the decade in style.

I thought they might split the Infinity story between GotG 2 and Avengers 3, but I like it as two Avengers movies as. Plus with 2 movies (dCpt. Marvel and Inhumans) between the 2, I wonder if it might actually play as a 4 part movie. Crazy.
Was hoping Will Smith and son would have been in the Black Panther movie, but I understand they have signed with D.C. Looking forward to all these movies but doing both the Inhumans and Ragnarok I just hope to live long enough to see them :)
PLEASE PLEASE no Jaden in MCU.
As long as Disney/Marvel keep up the great work, I’m game.
Well dang that’s a way to blow the whole load all at once.
Seriously though this looks like a ton of fun and Jesus Marvel stop just releasing all these crazy announcements I don’t think I can take it.
I wonder if the next wave will include Nextwave?
Like the texture on the BP costume
CAPTAIN MARVEL!!! Love me some Carol Danvers in space… I hope the movie is in space
