Hey All!

This morning, during a special event at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige revealed the films that will make up Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, featuring a mix of fan-favorite characters and several heroes who will be making their big-screen debuts.

I was thrilled to be a witness to this spectacular cinematic event. I was frankly in a nerd coma for most of the event. The event was filled with both press and fans and the lines of fans stretched around the block.

Robert Downey Jr. (“Iron Man”), Chris Evans (“Captain America”) and Chadwick Boseman (newly announced “Black Panther”) all made special appearances.

They joked about who Chadwick aka Black Panther liked better Iron Man or Captain America.

The next two films to be released by Marvel are AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON on May 1, 2015, and ANT-MAN on July 17, 2015. Marvel revealed the dates and titles of nine additional films through 2019, including upcoming Captain America, Thor, Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy installments, along with films featuring Black Panther – who, Feige announced, will be played by Chadwick Boseman – Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange, and the Inhumans.

9 Total films were announced:

5/1/15 – AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON

7/17/15 – ANT-MAN

5/6/16 – CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR

11/4/16 – DOCTOR STRANGE

5/5/17 – GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 2 (previously dated 7/28/17)

7/28/17 – THOR: RAGNAROK

11/3/17 – BLACK PANTHER

5/4/18 – AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR PART I

7/6/18 – CAPTAIN MARVEL

11/2/18 – INHUMANS

5/3/19 – AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR PART II

And they are all going to be awesome!

Check out this video I took from the event:

And some of the interview with Kevin Fiege:

Ten films have already been released in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, beginning with 2008’s IRON MAN. All 10 films opened at #1 domestically and have collectively grossed over $7.1 billion globally.

Two of these films, MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS and IRON MAN 3, set records as the #1 and #2 domestic openings of all time with $207.4 million and $174.1 million respectively. MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS went on to become the third biggest film of all time worldwide, while Marvel’s IRON MAN 3 ranks as the sixth biggest film ever. They are the two highest grossing Super Hero films of all time.

Earlier this year, Marvel’s CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER, which broke the April opening domestic record with $95 million, earned $714 million worldwide and is the #5 film of 2014. Most recently, Marvel’s GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY crossed $757 million globally after opening with a domestic August record of $94.3 million and setting an October debut record in China, where it has now grossed nearly $90 million. It’s the #1 film of the year domestically and the #3 film worldwide.

Today was an incredible event! It almost felt like Hall H at San Diego Comic Con. It was that awesome! I felt like I was witnessing nerd history. I now know where I’ll be leading up to 2019! At the end of the event we were also given this awesome poster featuring the preview image of the awesome “Black Panther.”
