We are in the midst of Marvel's Phase 3 films. Captain America Civil War was a strong start to the phase and Doctor Strange helped grow the universe. We now proceed to the rest of the upcoming films through 2019 and where the MCU will likely be heading.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2- We are only a month away from GOTGv2 premiere and there is wide amounts of speculation. The energy of this franchise is unique and is only comparable to the 2012 release of the Avengers. Director James Gunn's leadership helps to make this film both engaging, witty, and relatable, and all with smaller characters (giving them more freedom). Kudos to Kevin Feige and the rest of the Marvel studios staff for experimenting with the smaller characters and making them enjoyable.
Spiderman Homecoming- I know this is not technically not a MCU movie, but it's a hybrid between Sony and Disney. The tone of the film looks promising, Michael Keaton looks great, the humor seems upbeat, very excited about the prospects. Also, if Disney and Sony can continue their partnerships then new agreements can continue.
Thor Ragnarok- Very excited about this one; Thor movies are pretty boring to begin with, but combine it with the Hulk and tease a Hulk vs Thor fight, and i'm sold!
Black Panther- Not too excited about this one. Chadwick Boseman did a solid job as Black Panther in Captain America Civil War, but the lore behind the character is pretty weak. His main interest is in how he interacts with the other characters.
Avengers Infinity War and part 2- This is the one most everyone is ecstatic about! The introduction of Thanos is very promising. If they follow the storyline of Infinity gauntlet (Thanos gets the gems, add Adam Warlock, all heroes die, etc.) then it should be a GREAT way. This could be a great way for the original heroes (Robert downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, etc. can bow out. if they want out)
Ant-man and the Wasp- I admit I did not love Ant-man, but I wholeheartedly believe in growing the universe and this could be good.
Captain Marvel- I would have created this one before Infinity War, but her addition could be a great start.
I'm very excited about these, but here's where I think Marvel Phase 4 could go
- Adam Warlock movie
- Hulk movie (Buy back the distribution rights)
- Celestial figures figure in a movie (Dr. Strange & Warlock?)
Thoughts?
