Marvel Announce 9 new Movies

[Jester]

Yeah...like the Action Movie bubble and the Romantic Comedy bubble and the....

If they are good movies, then it doesn't matter if most releases are comic book flicks. Good movies will do well. Heck, Cap 2 despite being a comic book flick was also a Bourne style spy and espionage flick.

I'm crazy-excited for Captain Marvel, Infinity Wars, and Civil War. I'm am really pumped for a 2-parter Infinity Gauntlet movie. Its such an epic story and its so exciting to see it getting a ton of screentime to work out.
I'm really hoping once for Planet Hulk and WWH after Civil War too. There's a terrible lack of Hulk here.

^ This. Well said, Jester.

Yeah, I really hope that will happen someday.

I'm not going to get into a Marvel vs DC debate regarding the quality of movies but Marvel crushes DC when it comes to showmanship and presentation.

Just look at how DC announced their movie slate compared to Marvel today. DC is making their movies for shareholders and Marvel is making them for their fans.

DC are now F****D

I can't wait to see Captain America: Civil War but it's a shame it be without The Fantastic 4 and SpiderMan.

So in 2016 we got Civil War, X-Men and TMNT 2 in a month, HHHYYYPPEEE

I agree with Zarius Marvel is overrated. The biggest problem I have with Marvel movies are the simplistic story which I enjoy, but it seem like they make all their movies simplistic and never give meat to their stories.

Also they still don't have Batman or Super-man, Hell they still can't make a spider or Wolverine movie. Currently the four biggest Comic properties and they can't touch any of them.

DC also has batman and superman staring in the same movie!!!!!!!

Exactly

Well if the DC movies are good, then the fans win too. I didn't care for Man of Steel much but I am looking forward to Batman/Superman.

[chrisdude]

If you ask me, the new X-Men movies beat all Marvel and DC. The Dark Knight movies beat most of Marvel.

I have about 30% faith that Zack Snyder will do anything worthwhile.

I don't think much of the MCU films are all that great. I really only find Cap and SHIELD interesting. But the universe they've built is so fun. But Civil War, Captain Marvel, Black Panther, and the mother effing Inhumans all thrill the crap out of me.

without a doubt. Would you rather wait another year at least and pay for a second ticket to get what you could have got in one sitting?

I've sat through all three LOTR films, extended editions, in the theater back to back to back with only a 30 minute break in between each movie. I loved every minute of it, and I would probably do it again. I love my movies, so it's no biggy if the movie is good, the length of it matters not.

[psychturtle]

Some of you are going to be really sad when Marvel is JUST as popular 10 years from now. I like both Marvel and DC. But it does seem like those who side more with DC are more butthurt and WANT Marvel to fail. your loss I guess.

[sdp]

The Marvel bias on the internet is at full swing, I mean Marvel announces 5 years worth of movies and gets praised, DC did it a month ago and got called out/criticized that they announced so many movies that far in advanced. I'm a fan of Marvel, I definitely prefer DC, but it makes it hard for me to enjoy Marvel when everyone treats the company like gods who can do no wrong. I'll enjoy the movies but I really can't stand the average Marvel fan who gets a huge boner over anything Marvel related.

I don't think it will crash and burn and I'm not even sure if it'll slow down at least by then. I actually predicted comic book movies would peak and slowly crash and burn around 2012 and I couldn't have been more wrong since they are even more popular, the way I saw it comic book movies had been around for more than a decade, Marvels Cinematic Universe was going to culminate with Avengers and the final Dark Knight movie was going to come out, I didn't think it would be able to live up to that but I was wrong.. I do think it will peak around the time of the final Avengers movie in that Phase III though. Mostly because around that time is when they'll start replacing actors and we will have already seen a ton of "epic" comic book movies that it would be easy to screw up in a "Phase IV" if not handled correctly.

As for the second part that is just ridiculous I don't even understand how you could make such an ignorant statement, I mean Batman is how many generations old? And what Iron Man fan will be over 30? Only the adults who watched Iron Man 1 as adults. Superheroes are as hot of a property as they've ever been and they've been around for nearly 100 years, they aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

but I guess you can't take criticism? You try to imply he's a fanboy but the only fanboy I'm seeing here is you. He didn't even bash Marvel in his post.

[plastroncafe]

DC excels at animated movies, but...they haven't put out a good, solid, live action flick since Burton's Batman.

I want to like their stuff, but...every time I give their books and movies another shot, I find myself spending more time counting the bodies that hit the floor, or wondering how long the protagonist is going to deal with his Daddy Issues.

Poor Ryan Reynolds, he really REALLY wanted Green Lantern to be a good movie, but alas it was not to be.

Which isn't to say that Marvel's movies haven't also been a wet hot mess at times.

What'll make or break the upcoming films is whether or not the Big Wigs actually let the directors do their thing without a lot of intervention via committee. The news coming out of Ant Man doesn't give me a whole lot of hope. Half of the reason I wanted to see it was Paul Rudd, and the other half was Edgar Wright, but...now he's off the project.

So...we'll see. But I'm way more hopeful for these movies than I am to see what DC does to Wonder Woman.

It's not just this thread, man. Every Marvel movie thread he poo-poos.

Agreed. I love animated DC so damn much.

Antman was GOING to be the best Marvel movie, because Edgar Wright can only produce brilliance. I was devastated when he left it.

[joefsas]

So pumped for this

[Sumac]

I think Marvel offers more diverse lineup with their movies.

If only any other DC property were as consistently as amazing as the DCAU. Oh the money I would throw at them, that they would then assume was coming from a dude and STILL not cater to my demographic.

(Still bitter about the cancellation of Young Justice and GL: The Animated Series)

I was so excited to see for Antman what was done for Cap and Thor.
And now...like ashes. Boo.

[ToTheNines]

Not so pumped for Cap 3. I feel like the creative team of the last movie had set up a cool story for the end of the trilogy but the studio is more interested in making Avengers 2.5. Can't imagine how the Bucky thing is going to not feel rushed amongst Cap v Iron Man. Also means Mackie isn't gonna have a big role, so that sucks too.

Dr. Strange... whatever. I know very little about his source material. I'll let them surprise me. I'm assuming the plot will involve an infinity stone, or it will end up with him forming/joining The Defenders.

Guardians 2 and Ragnarok should be epic. And I feel like these two would be the perfect 1 2 punch to lead into the big conflict with Thanos, so Black Panther looks really out of place being the third film there.

Then again, I'm biased since I hate Black Panther. His origin is a decent revenge story, but he's pretty much devoid of personality in every episode of Earth's Mightiest Heroes and most comics I've seen him in. Boseman is a really good actor at least.

Also looks a little tricky having Captain Marvel and Inhumans coming out betwixt the two Infinity War movies. I'm sure they have a plan though.

Captain Marvel could be really cool though. Off the top of my head I'm thinking Katherine Heigl for the role of Carol? She kinda looks the part and I've seen her pull off funny as well as serious.

I was just starting my senior year when Iron Man came out. I'll be like 28 when A3 part 2 is out.

Why must you always be such a drama queen?

[CyberCubed]

How is Black Panther going to work anyway? Nobody is going to want to watch a superhero movie sent in Africa (or Wakanda, or whatever his place is called), where a guy simply dresses in an black animal leotard fighting other Africans who try to take over his village.

Black superheroes only work when set in metropolis cities among other supporting actors. That's why Falcon worked in the second Captain America movie, he would never be able to support a move on his own.
