Here's a quick look at Marvel's upcoming plans for their next films:
Iron Man 3was just released, next up is Thor: The Dark World. Directed by Alan Taylor and aimed for a Nobember 8 release date.
Personally I'm not expecting much out of this one. Even the trailer left me... uninterested. I mean, sure, "Hollywood, blabla, lots of special effects, explosions, yaddayadda, sequel" etc.
Chris Hemsworth as Thor is the only fun aspect of this film. The plot sounds like "more of the same, if you enjoyed the first one", amped up.
Next year will start with another sequel, Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Yep, this "Phase 2" is seriously lacking some new ideas.
It will be directed by Joe and Anthony Russo this time, for an April 4, 2014 release.
They really should have kept Joe Johnston on board and let him do his Winter Soldier movie properly instead... Not really feeling this serious lack of a competent veteran director attached to all these movies. Robert Downey & co are really costing way too much for the studio, so they're cutting the budget elsewhere.
Speaking of new proprieties, at least we'll have James Gunn's take on the Guardians of the Galaxy on August 1 next year.
I honestly really wasn't feeling this one so far, but with Gunn on board it has potential to turn into a really fun good Green Lantern-like film.
Finally, with all these films down, it will be the time to get a second AVENGERS movie.
While the first film almost featured the Skrulls Invasion yet ended up using Loki and some generic aliens, it appears Avengers 2 is also going through a similar unexpected change. It was going to deal with Thanos at first, after the hint at the end of the first one and see the incorporation of the Guardians Galaxy's mythos after their own film.
But instead, it will now revolved around Ultrom!!
Joss Whedon just announced and officialized the title, it will be released on May 1, in 2015!
So... yay! This means Ant-Man!!
Avengers: Age of Ultron will see the debut of Ant-Man.. to be continued upon and expanded during Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase Three with the first film being Ant-Man on November 6, 2015 (some months after Avengers!), by Edgar Wright!
I can't say enough how much I'm waiting to be there, in 2015. I mean, finally, some fresh new ideas!
