In a special event held by Marvel Studios, president Kevin Feige revealed the studios schedule plans for phase three of its cinematic universe. While most annoucements were expected, there were two surprise announcements - Captain Marvel will feature in Phase three, and the incarnation of the character will be the as-of-yet un-cast Carol Danvers; and the other news was the announcement that Chadwick Boseman (Draft Day, pictured below at the event) will play the much coveted role of Black Panther, along with concept art for the characters costume (also pictured below). Speaking about accepting the role Boseman, whom was present at the event said...
"I'm blessed to be apart of this Marvel Universe, to work with you both, and to make magic together. As you can see, we have a hell of a lot of work to do."
In a Q&A session that followed the event Feige was bombarded by questions from fans about many things in the MCU and regarding the many rumors circulating the net; in summary, the important answers were...
- Benedict Cumberbatchs casting as Doctor Strange not yet confirmed
- No confirmation on Spider-Man joining the MCU, yet
- Hints at Inhuman easter eggs already in the MCU
- No current plans for a soo Black Widow movie
- Civil war to concentrate on making heroes answerable, not about secret identities
Heres the logos for the movies announced as making up phase 3 of the MCU, each with their dates - and yes the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (as yet no subtitle) is the official one released by Marvel; seems Chris Pratt may have got his hands on it somehow...
