I guess Black Panther since I like what we've seen of the actor so far. The rest of those movies are just too far out or we know too little of to care at this point.

True, but I included those in case people's love for those particular characters made them want to vote for the far-off films.

I do think Avengers: Infinity War will be pretty good, but it's also got a lot to accomplish and it could become pretty bloated pretty fast. It would still be my second choice as far as most anticipated film, and Ant-Man and the Wasp third

While I am excited for Black Panther and Infinity War. I am more excited for GOTG Vol 3. Guardians is my favorite of the marvel franchises

I voted for black panther because it's the only trailer I've seen, plus it looks cool.

Black Panther, because for me it's always the one that comes next, and the trailer is amazing.

Infinity War is the only one we plan on seeing in theaters. No need to see the others. Lately if you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all.

I know that some of the origin movies bear a lot of similarities (Iron Man and Dr. Strange especially, from example), but that's not the case at all. The Captain America movies are vastly different from Ant-Man, which is vastly different from the Guardians series, which will be vastly different from Black Panther and Captain Marvel

Ant-Man is just Iron Man with more humor. The GotG sort of humor is in everything now, from Thor to Avengers to Ant-Man.

None of them. They're so stale at this point.

Infinity War for me, course there will be a big expectation given the build up.

I'm looking forward to skimming over a wiki summary of Infinity War.

Captain Marvel. Okay, I have some bias here. After all, my username is partly based on Carol Danvers (as Ms. Marvel). She is one of my favorite female Marvel heroes, and I can't wait to FINALLY see her brought to life on screen. as far as the others go, probably Black Panther. I actually am excited for ALL of these, but those would be my top two right now.

This has been the best year for MCU, so let's hope the movies keep getting better like they mostly have so far.

I guess Avengers 4, because it doesn't sound like anything really happens in Infinity War. Thanos gets the gems, I guess.

All films are entertainment. The difference is that Marvel has been getting more and more comfortable with getting more and more base with less ambition. After phase 1 worked out well, it's like they stopped exerting themselves quite so hard.
But I like the Russos, I think they'll do fine with Avengers 3/4. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone finally meet up.

I gotta go with Infinity War, because that's Captain America 3.5 and Guardians of the Galaxy 2.5. Oh, and Ant-Man 1.5. Sorta sequels to my three favorite franchises in the MCU.

Although that's how most summer blockbuster franchises seem to survive, is by people turning their brains off and flocking to theaters to be stimulated (Transformers, PD TMNT, Fast & Furious, etc.)

I do agree that Marvel hit a slump with some of their movies, especially sequels like Iron Man 2 (too light on action), Thor 2 (too forgettable), Avengers 2 (too bloated), and some of their origin story flicks like Dr. Strange (a bit too uninspired and formulaic; great visuals but could have been better and Dr. Strange shouldn't be written like a magic Tony Stark). But I think they've already shown they've recovered from that trend. The Captain America series has always been strong, Ant-Man was great, the second Guardians flick and Spider-Man: Homecoming were both pretty good (not phenomenal, but still solid), and Thor: Ragnarok is probably the best in the series (at least to me).

I am curious as to how long they can keep their cinematic universe going. Ten years it's been going now, that's totally uncharted territory. Should they plan on ending it at some point before it gets old? I know to some people it already has, so I guess its all subjective.

Infinity War is the climax, people are probably going to be totally burned out afterwards. I know I'll be. X-Men hit their peak with DoFP and Logan, in terms of "big events", and MCU will do the same in a couple years.
