Well that was almost two minutes of nerd porn as I was expecting. There is no way this could get any better.
Wait, is that Vision?

Marvel and Sony have made a deal to bring Spider-Man to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sony will still finance, produce and release the films with Marvel’s Kevin Feige producing. Spidey will first appear in a Marvel movie before getting a new film set for July 18, 2017.
This works out for both parties involved. Sony keeps Spider-Man and gets the push of having him be involved in the MCU that can shit gold. Marvel gets to use its most recognizable character in future Marvel movies, helping Disney further towards their plans of becoming a world-controlling shadow corporation.
My guess is that Spider-Man will appear in Captain America: Civil War because, read a comic. He will be (likely) recast so start your wagers now. If we do get a new Spidey, I do feel for Andrew Garfield who was a great Peter Parker, even though his second movie failed him. He is a lifelong fan and it showed.
To welcome the web-slinger back, Marvel has shifted dates to make room.
Thor: Ragnarok goes from July 28, 2017 to November 3, 2017.
Black Panther goes from November 3, 2017 to July 6, 2018.
Captain Marvel goes from July 6, 2018 to November 2, 2018.
Inhumans goes from November 2, 2018 to July 12, 2019.
On a side note: I would be perfectly fine having Alfred Molina return as Doctor Octopus.
Am I excited about the new Daredevil series from Netflix?
Yes.
Oh. Mother. @^*#. YES.
No wonder he could convince Catherine Zeta-Jones to sleep with him for multiple years. After listening to that I want to be Ant-Man and I am a 300 pound walking Taco Bell.
Don’t get me wrong, there will always be a hole in my nerd heart for not getting to see Edgar Wright’s version happen, but this trailer has alleviated my concerns some.
Ant-Man releases on July 17th.
EXCELSIOR….motherf***er.
Side note: I would buy the hell out of an Overweight Jamaican Maid monthly series.
Marvel couldn’t let DC have all the press by announcing their movie lineup. Today, at a live event, they unveiled the titles and release dates of nine features. This includes the first official announcements of Black Panther and Inhumans.
Here are the official release dates with title shots after.
Captain America: Civil War – May 6th, 2016
Doctor Strange– November 4th, 2016
Guardians of the Galaxy 2 – May 5, 2017
Thor: Ragnarok – July 28th, 2017
Black Panther – November 3rd, 2017
Inhumans – November 2nd, 2018
Avengers: Infinity Wars Part 1 – May 2018
Captain Marvel – July 6th, 2019
Avengers: Infinity Wars Part 2 – May 2019
There were a few casting notes during the announcement as well. Yesterday we found out that Benedict Cumberbatch would be their sorcerer supreme, Doctor Strange, and today they gave us more casting with Chadwick Boseman , from 42, playing Black Panther. If DC hit an infield fly with Ezra Miller as Flash, Marvel launched one 500 feet with that casting. See the first concept art of Black Panther below.
So much to take in.
-We already knew Robert Downey, Jr. signed on for the third Cap movie with Civil War being the end result. The title should be no surprise.
-The casting of Cumberbatch is great for Marvel because it means he is locked in for more than one appearance, per normal Marvel contracts.
-Guardians of the Galaxy 2 moving to the May spot shows how much they believe in the franchise after it blew up this year, making over $700 million worldwide.
-The events of Civil War will affect Thor as well it seems with the Ragnarok title. Will Loki being on the throne lead to “the end of all things”?
-Black Panther is the one character that had the most internet support to have a movie from Marvel. With the Avengers team changing its look after Age of Ultron, it is a good possibility Panther will join.
-Vin Diesel had dropped hints that Marvel was going to release an Inhumans feature and that he might be involved. Seems like he wasn’t blowing smoke up our asses.
-Captain Marvel has me the most intrigued of all of these. This will be Marvel’s first female led movie and it will come a year after Wonder Woman. They have yet to trip up in casting, so let the rumors begin on who will play her.
-Avengers: Infinity War releasing only a year apart is huge. You have to think they will film it all as one due to the actor’s contracts for appearances. Thanos will be one tough cookie to take up two movies.
If only for that voice. The Blacklist won’t run forever and watching Boston Legal only gets you so far.
A bit of a snafu happened when the first trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron leaked online a week ahead of its debut on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Instead of trying to find and delete it, Marvel did the best thing possible, they went ahead and released the official one and blamed Hydra for the leak.
Even Marvel fails upward.
Will the trailer make your life better? Maybe not, but it can definitely help with certain things: wife leaving, sinus problems, indigestion.
I really liked X-Men: Days of Future Past. I thought it successfully brought together both generations of X-Men movies and did the comic movie world a favor by erasing the events of X-Men 3. Even the guys at Honest Trailers admit that it was a fun ride with their newest video.
Like with X-Men comics, it is best to ignore timeline problems. You will just make your head hurt.
Robert Downey, Jr. was teasing a big Marvel announcement last week during his press tour for The Judge and he was not joking. RDJ is finalizing a deal to be in Captain America 3 that will kick off the Civil War storyline in Marvel movies.
Civil War was Marvel’s big event in 2006 that saw Iron Man and Captain America at odds over the Superhero Registration Act that made vigilantes register their real identities with the US government and act under regulations. Looks like we will get more tension between the heroes that we saw in the first Avengers.
Downey’s role was going to be a small part in Cap 3, but the star convinced Marvel for a bigger part which comes with a bigger paycheck. He will make $40 million for his appearance along with percentage of gross if Cap 3 does better than The Winter Soldier at the box office.
As many know, the Civil War storyline ended with the death of Captain America at the hands of a brainwashed Sharon Carter and Crossbones (whose character, Brock Rumlow was introduced in The Winter Soldier). With Chris Evans’ contract ending after Avengers 3 you wonder if the movies will mirror the comics.
Marvel’s plan is for Civil War to have effects all the way to Avengers 4 that will have Tony Stark creating a new team with Ant-Man, Doctor Strange and other heroes. So while we may not be getting Iron Man 4, we will definitely be getting plenty of Iron Man in other places.
