Marvel officially announced a sequel to this year’s July release of Ant-Man with the forthcoming title, Ant-Man And The Wasp with actor Paul Rudd and actress Evangeline Lily likely to return for its 2018 release. The studio unveiled its press release with more details this week including new dates for upcoming and titles to-be-announced. See? Fluctuating.
Update (6:10 pm EST) – An incorrect version of the Marvel Phase 3 calendar was shared prior to its correct version now available in its place. Damn you H.Y.D.R.A.!
It’s pretty clear that Walt Disney Co. and Marvel Studios have the upper hand with Warner Bros. still trailing with its DC Cinematic Universre. Last month’s epic conference at the El Capitan Theater was just what the fanbase needed in overseeing just exactly where all the Marvel movies were going after the first two phases, on top of continuing casting announcements with the confirmation of Get On Up star Chadwick Boseman for Black Panther and Rush co-star, actor Daniel Bruhl‘s casting for a villain role in next Spring’s production of Captain America: Civil War this week.
So, more casting continues, and with the May 1, 2015 deadline set for Joss Whedon’s possible MCU bow out as director with Avengers: Age Of Ultron, all the dates are locked in with no word yet on what the future will bring except for what trickles from the studio itself, or random clues and leaks from the slithering scoundrels of H.Y.D.R.A.. On that note, Marvel Studios just officially put out this cool roster of all the announced MCU: Phase 3 films to come which you can check out below.

It’s been several years since development began on Marvel’s forthcoming live-action Doctor Strange contribution to the studio’s now-accumulating cinematic universe. The script assignment has also changed a few hands prior to the addition of Jon Spaihts as the writer and Scott Derrickson as director, while it was still being debated on whether actors Johnny Depp, Joaquin Phoenix, Collin Farrell, Jareto Leto or The Imitation Game star Benedict Cumberbatch would be chosen.
At least this week now, things can finally settle with word from Deadline that Cumberbatch would take the mantle of the classic comic book character. The film will be based on the classic character by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko in 1963, the new film will see Cumberbatch in the title role, a brilliant neurosurgeon who becomes the Sorcerer Supreme following a deadly car accident which cripples his hands, sending him on a desperate search that would ultimately granting him the mystical, magical powers and martial arts skills necessary to protect Earth from the forces of evil.
It is also being speculated that unlike Marvel movies as of late, producer Kevin Feige and the team will not put the character on the path of an origin tale, following a report back in August from CBM via Badass Digest. Further updates are still needed, but, Cumberbatch has had a lot of ground in recent years following the popularity he gained after playing Khan in Star Trek: Into Darkness, Sherlock Holmes on television, and the deadly dragon, Smaug in The Hobbit trilogy. He’s a high-caliber actor with tons of momentum, so Marvel was pretty smart in picking him, and high time we got some mobility on this film after so long.
It is currently being speculated that the film will release on July 8, 2016 in what will be the first of many huge years for comic book films between Marvel and that of Warner Bros’ DC films.
Cumberbatch returns to the big screen as Smaug in The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies this December with war drama The Imitation Game releasing next month.

All comic book-related movie news remains in an on-going state of flux, which is pretty natural at this point. The studios want to keep certain things secret while maintaining anticipation among their fans which is fantastic, but also frustrating, in which case, if your name is Robert Downey Jr., then you’re playing this game perfectly.
The actor, whose latest courtroom drama, The Judge, opened last week, just confirmed the developement for third installment of the Sherlock Holmes film series for Warner Bros., which is just one of a few franchise favorites among moviegoers and fans of Downey Jr. alike. Of course, you also then have the enduring and ever-expanding Marvel movie universe, which the actor kicked off in superb fashion in 2008 with Iron Man. Sure, some people might disagree with the popularity of this genre and may feel that it is getting old to a certain degree, but it doesn’t make these films any less entertaining. Studios like Marvel are always finding a way to keep things fresh and growing, and considering all the vague rumors being reported for the past month or more, it’s good to finally learn some solid news for a change.
It was on Monday this week that Marvel Comics announced a forthcoming reboot addition of their 2006 comic book series Civil War, news that initially hinted at a “Secret Wars” crossover project which began in conjunction with Hasbro for their 1984 toy deal. Civil War, which begins its comic book run next summer, will focus on the internal conflict among superheroes in lieu of the Superhero Registration Act, which would oblige anyone with superpowers and abilities to install themselves into a registry and apply their services to a police force. The Act causes a clash between Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, and their Avenger alteregos Iron Man and Captain America, respectively – a riff which would begin drawing the battle lines between multiple heroes with different ideologies on right and wrong. This particular storytelling formula was a definitive tool in the overall delivery and commercial success of this year’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier, directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, who are currently poised to direct Captain America 3 next Spring for its May 6, 2016 release with actor Chris Evans returning once more as the jingoistic-costumed superhuman patriot for the fourth time within the Marvel movieverse.
This time, after weeks and weeks of speculation and doubt regarding whether or not Downey Jr. would put the Iron suit back on for “Iron Man 4”, those rumors finally quelled with official reports from Variety that the actor would reunite with Evans for Captain America 3 for at least a month on set in Atlanta, Georgia next year, and not for a small role either. Badass Digest brought even details on Monday stating that Captain America 3 would be an ensemble film with the title hero having his own team, an element in the story that would come following the events of the May 1, 2016 release of Joss Whedon’s Avengers: Age Of Ultron. That said, the word is Downey Jr. is getting a $40 million dollar pay day from Captain America 3, so fans can surely expect Stark to play a more intergral role in the events following Age Of Ultron as the Marvel movieverse essentially aims for a new phase. Moreover, it is also being speculated that recent talks to help merge Spider-man into Disney’s booming Marvel movie franchise could lead to the popular wall-crawler’s appearance in future films following Sony’s Amazing Spider-Man films; As for whether or not Andrew Garfield will be back is yet to be determined though while The Sinister Six, Venom and a yet-to-be-titled superheroine movie remain in the works.
The Russos are also said to be the favorites to direct a third and possible fourth Avengers film while things remain in flux regarding Captain America 3, aside from the respective picture deals between Evans and TWS co-star, actor Sebastian Stan; Anthony Mackie could possibly return as Sam Wilson, a.k.a. Falcon, in addition to sharpshooting archer and fellow Avenger Clint Barton, a.k.a. Hawkeye, played by Jeremy Renner, who is nonetheless willing to play the character in his own franchise line if Marvel can foresee it following the comic’s relaunch next summer as well.
Other than that, there is still plenty of time and more rumors will soon follow before we hear further solid news on the matter. Different things are happening between different studios with repsect to their Marvel movieverses, which (could) finally hint at the appearance of the Fantastic Four in Disney’s future Marvel movies, as recently stated by Deadline, ahead of 20th Century Fox’s August 7, 2015 reboot and its July 14, 2017 sequel (and yes, do take that with a grain of salt). At least for now though, fans can look forward to watching more of Tony Stark’s swag annoy Steve Rogers from time to time, well…at least before the wear-and-tear on their supersuits begins.
Keep your eyes peeled!

Comic book movie news is a trip to keep up with. As of this writing, there are as many as thirty films listed between Marvel and DC from several studios slated to be released by 2020. Some titles still need details, including Marvel’s plans for a Doctor Strange movie, and any hopes of a return for Wesley Snipes in the role of Blade for a new film. But, Marvel isn’t through chipping away at the iceberg of possibilities for its ever-expanding cinematic universe.
In light of actor Vin Diesel‘s latest nudge at a new Marvel property, Collider now brings word that Marvel Studios is officially on track to deliver its next franchise launcher, The Inhumans, just several years after the talks of the film’s development hit the internet. Originally the 1965 brainchild of comic book auteurs Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, The Inhumans story does branch with other comic book franchises throughout its history, but mainly centers on a society of superhumans who were originally test subjects of the Kree alien race thousands of years ago, in an attempt to build an army to defeat the Skrulls in a time of war. This very secret society of superhumans were led by their king, Black Bolt and his royal family Medusa, Karnak, Gorgon, Triton, Crystal, Maximus the Mad and their canine Lockjaw.
The Inhumans has an intricate backstory for each of its characters and their powers, and it will be interesting to see how they tackle this particular production. Writer Joe Robert Cole’s script has been accepted by the studio and a director is now being sought after, making the new film their latest gamble of its kind since Marvel’s box office success, Guardians Of The Galaxy from helmer James Gunn.
Diesel has already gotten his feet wet with Gunn‘s new movie which is now poised for a sequel due for July 28, 2017, while the actor moves forward with director Breck Eisner on The Last Witch Hunter with actress Rose Leslie, and actors Michael Caine and Elijah Wood. As for whether or not Marvel thinks Diesel really IS Imhuman…time will tell.
Marvel’s release of Captain America: The Winter Soldier back in April was one of the most celebrated, made prolific with its contribution to the titular cinematic universe as a spectacular lead-in to the current production of The Avengers: Age Of Ultron. The film also became widely known for its principle stuntwork with headlines featuring stunt performer and actor Chris Evans’s stunt double Sam Hargrave in CBS’s on-set coverage, in addition to our own Darren Bailey who sat down for Film Combat Syndicate’s first-ever YouTube-exclusive interview with Anthony Mackie’s stunt double, actor and stuntman Aaron Toney, and Sebastian Stan’s stunt double, James Young, who also choreographed the film’s exhilarating fight action.
If you haven’t seen the film in theaters, then you’re in luck this week. The film will finally be arriving in several home formats, including Digital 3D, Digital HD and Disney Movies Anywhere on August 19, as well as on Blu-ray, DVD, On Demand and on 3D Blu-ray Combo Pack on September 9, including bonus features like Making-of Featurettes, Audio Commentary, Never-Before-Seen Deleted Scenes, Bloopers and much more. And today, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment is supplying the fans with a first look at the DVD and Blu-Ray box art, which you can check out below.
The film is directed by Joe and Anthony Russo who will return to the helm for Captain America 3, releasing in theaters on May 6, 2016 alongside Warner Bros. release of Batman V. Superman: The Dawn Of Justice. Director Joss Whedon’s The Avengers: Age Of Ultron will release a year earlier on May 1, 2015.

After the cataclysmic events in New York with The Avengers, Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” finds Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, living quietly in Washington, D.C. and trying to adjust to the modern world. But when a S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague comes under attack, Steve becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue that threatens to put the world at risk. Joining forces with the Black Widow, Captain America struggles to expose the ever-widening conspiracy while fighting off professional assassins sent to silence him at every turn. When the full scope of the villainous plot is revealed, Captain America and the Black Widow enlist the help of a new ally, the Falcon. However, they soon find themselves up against an unexpected and formidable enemy—the Winter Soldier.
The Wrap is reporting that actor Patrick Wilson is currently in negotiations for a role in writer/director Edgar Wright’s next film, Ant-Man. If confirmed, the actor whose recent appearances include horror hits like The Conjuring and Insidious 1 and 2 will star alongside actors Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas, with roles currently in the running for actor Michael Peña, as well as actress Evangeline Lily.
Based on multifaceted comic book writer and publisher Stan Lee’s 1962 creation and co-written by Joe Cornish, the film will star Rudd as reformed thief and electronics expert Scott Lang who in years later, adapts the technology to become the titular superhero created conceived by biochemist Hank Pym (Douglas) whose earlier experiments brought him to discover subatomic particles that can allow a person to shrink down to the size of an insect, and also giving its owner the ability to control ants. The film is but one of many films spanning the currently on-going phases of Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Ant-Man scheduled in the third phase for its theatrical release on July 31, 2015.
Accordingly, the film arrives three months after the May 1 release of Joss Whedon’s The Avengers: Age Of Ultron, for which fans can expect to see some teaser footage in a special ABC event on March 18, 2014, following its most recent shoot in South Africa.
Wilson’s next film, director Joe Carnahan’s Stretch will arrive this Summer.
Lego fans can get their hands on three new construction sets attributed to Marvel’s upcoming release of Guardians Of The Galaxy which will hit store shelves beginning June 1, exactly two months before the forthcoming film hits theaters nationwide.

Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy,” which first appeared in comic books in Marvel Super-Heroes, Issue #18 (Jan. 1969), stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, featuring Vin Diesel as the voice of Groot, Bradley Cooper as the voice of Rocket, Lee Pace, Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, with John C. Reilly, Glenn Close as Commander Rael and Benicio del Toro as The Collector.
James Gunn is the director of the film with Kevin Feige producing, and Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Jeremy Latcham, Alan Fine and Stan Lee serve as executive producers. The story is by Nicole Perlman and James Gunn, with screenplay by James Gunn. Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” releases in U.S. theaters on August 1, 2014.
It’s been a busy month of February for developing news around Marvel’s current production of The Avengers: Age Of Ultron, with filming locations hinting at a gym in New York City, as well as locations in South Africa this month, in addition to reports that events in the preceding Captain America: The Winter Soldier will contribute to events in the new Avengers film which may or may not include Ms. Marvel. But while all other developments are being made to get the information straight, we can at least confirm one more role to be introduced in the form of Vision, to be played by Paul Bettany.
The character has a few shared origins in the Avengers canon, but it appears Marvel is going the route of the character’s creation by way of character Tony Stark’s creation of Ultron when Ultron goes rogue and hacks J.A.R.V.I.S. (Stark’s cyberbutler also voiced by Bettany in all three Iron Man films and The Avengers). As a result, we are introduced into Vision, an android with phsyical male human traits and remakable abilities Ultron uses to his advantage to try and defeat the Avengers until Vision learns the truth and teams up with Avengers against Ultron.
Bettany joins newly announced actress Elizabeth Olsen who plays Vision’s love interest, Scarlet Witch, and actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson who plays her twin brother, Quicksilver. The three are accompanied by returnung cast members Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Chris Hemsworth, Samuel L. Jackson, Cobie Smulders and Iron Man 2 and 3 actor Don Cheadle, with James Spader and Thomas Kretschmann rounding out the principal cast.
The film is written and directed by Joss Whedon and opens May 1, 2015 as per its pending release slate of films within the purview of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including director James Gunn’s August 1, 2014 release of Guardians Of The Galaxy and its pending 2016 sequel, the release of Edgar Wright’s Ant-Man on July 17, 2015, and the productions of Thor 3 and Captain America 3 as well.
Reports are now circulating that actor Thomas Kretschmann has signed on to play another main villain known as Baron Wolfgang von Strucker in the upcoming film, Marvel’s The Avengers: Age Of Ultron. The report comes just a month after rumors circulated around the internet that the character, a H.Y.D.R.A. leader and former Nazi soldier whose body was augmented to the point of near invincibility and invulnerability would be brought on as a secondary villain with specific ties to the characters Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch, being played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olson, respectively.
The news also comes on the heels of recent updates that the film’s shooting schedule will include London, and locations in South Africa, with word that actor Mark Ruffalo‘s return as The Hulk would also be accompanied a love interest in the new film, with actor Jeremy Renner‘s character, Hawkeye, given a much larger part. Furthermore, recent reports also highlit actor, Iron Man performer Robert Downey Jr.‘s interest in bringing actor Mel Gibson and actress Jodie Foster in on the sequel’s production, whose script, written by director Joss Whedon as part of the film’s second of three phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was recently described as “dark” and “dry” with an “amazing one-liner, glass-cutting sense of humor.” in a recent interview with actress Scarlett Johansson who plays Black Widow in the film.
Opening nationwide on May 1, 2015, Kretschmann will star with Taylor-Johnson, Olsen, Ruffalo, Downey Jr. and Johansson returning in Marvel’s The Avengers: Age Of Ultron with actors Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Cobie Smulders and Samuel L. Jackson with and James Spader playing the titular villain. The film opens May 1, 2015 following the April 4, 2014 release of Marvel’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier, with Evans, Johansson and Jackson. Kretschmann will also appear in the forthcoming one week engagement of director Fedor Bondarchuk’s bilingual biographical World War II epic, Stalingrad 3D this February in IMAX 3D.
In other Marvel news, actor and co-star of David Ayer’s upcoming World War II thriller Fury, Michael Peña and actor Clifton Collins Jr. are reported to be officially signed for roles in director Edgar Wright’s July 31, 2015 entry into the MCU for Ant-Man with actors Paul Rudd, and the newly announced Michael Douglas. Meanwhile the recently buzzed rumors of actor Johnny Depp for the role of the otherwise confirmed Dr. Strange movie remain exactly that.

On the eve of the North American 2D/3D/IMAX premiere of Alan Taylor’s Thor: The Dark World, comic book movie giant Marvel is launching its next big step to bring the action home with the aid of digital platform, Netflix.
What’s even more particularly interesting here is that one of the series/mini-series programs will revive the character Daredevil once again since Mark Steven Johnson’s previous 2003 efforts were followed by an abandoned push for the film accompanied by the departure of A-Team helmer Joe Carnahan last year. The characters also listed include Heroes For Hire characters Iron Fist and Luke Cage, the former having been previously reported for a potential live-action feature was planned at one point with actor and martial arts impressario Ray Park, who last expressed his own continued hopes to play the role back in 2009; the latter was also hyped with actors Idris Elba (Pacific Rim) and Michael Jai White (Favela) named as hopefuls for the role of Luke Cage/Powerman.
The news also comes in light of the demise of long-time movie rental delivery outlet Blockbuster, a move that undoubtedly gives platforms like Netflix plenty of momentum to captialize on with digital streaming now in consumer demand. And speaking of momentum, this week’s press release should also shed some light on the current developments of Marvel’s brand new franchise in the form of malleable teenage superheroine Kamala Khan, the company’s first Muslim-American polymorph for Ms. Marvel.
Just when you think Marvel’s plate is full, they’re already asking for seconds and thirds. I think it is safe to say superheroes and movies aren’t going away anytime soon. And if that is the case, well…sorry China.
Check out the press release courtesy of ComingSoon.net:
The Walt Disney Co. and Netflix Inc. today announced an unprecedented deal for Marvel TV to bring multiple original series of live-action adventures of four of Marvel’s most popular characters exclusively to the world’s leading Internet TV Network beginning in 2015. This pioneering agreement calls for Marvel to develop four serialized programs leading to a miniseries programming event.
Led by a series focused on “Daredevil,” followed by “Jessica Jones,” “Iron Fist” and “Luke Cage,” the epic will unfold over multiple years of original programming, taking Netflix members deep into the gritty world of heroes and villains of Hell’s Kitchen, New York. Netflix has committed to a minimum of four, thirteen episodes series and a culminating Marvel’s “The Defenders” mini-series event that reimagines a dream team of self-sacrificing, heroic characters.
Produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Television Studios, this groundbreaking deal is Marvel’s most ambitious foray yet into live-action TV storytelling.
“This deal is unparalleled in its scope and size, and reinforces our commitment to deliver Marvel’s brand, content and characters across all platforms of storytelling. Netflix offers an incredible platform for the kind of rich storytelling that is Marvel’s specialty,” said Alan Fine, President of Marvel Entertainment. “This serialized epic expands the narrative possibilities of on-demand television and gives fans the flexibility to immerse themselves how and when they want in what’s sure to be a thrilling and engaging adventure.”
“Marvel’s movies, such as ‘Iron Man’ and Marvel’s ‘The Avengers’, are huge favorites on our service around the world. Like Disney, Marvel is a known and loved brand that travels,” said Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos. “With ‘House of Cards’ and our other original series, we have pioneered new approaches to storytelling and to global distribution and we’re thrilled to be working with Disney and Marvel to take our brand of television to new levels with a creative project of this magnitude.”
This new original TV deal follows last year’s landmark movie distribution deal through which, beginning with 2016 theatrically released feature films, Netflix will be the exclusive U.S. subscription television service for first-run, live-action and animated movies from the Walt Disney Studios, including titles from Disney, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, Marvel Studios, Disneynature and Lucasfilm. Netflix members can currently enjoy a wide range of Disney, ABC TV and Disney Channel films and shows across the 41 countries where Netflix operates.
Yahoo! Movies has an awesome new clip featuring an epic battle in this Friday’s theatrical release, Thor: The Dark World. Actor Chris Hemsworth stars as the Aasgardian protector of Earth opposite the nefarious and evil Malekith, portrayed by Christopher Eccleston in director Alan Taylor‘s sequel to Kenneth Brannagh’s 2011 helmer introduced in Phase One of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The new trailer has arrived for the upcoming Marvel sequel action adventure, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, releasing in North America on April 4, 2014. Off the heels of the newly unveiled poster and news of a prelude comic to come, the new trailer arrived exclusively at iTunes, featuring a new chapter set two years after the events in The Avengers, and Captain America: The First Avenger the year before. The film also marks the third entry of Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Iron Man 3, Alan Taylor’s upcoming Thor: The Dark World and the television premiere of the ABC television series, Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., then leading into the August 1, 2014 release of director James Gunn’s recently-wrapped Guardians Of The Galaxy and the May 1, 2015 release of Joss Whedon’s The Avengers 2: Age Of Ultron, followed by the July 31 release of Ant-Man, from director Edgar Wright.
