Following up on DC's recent fleshing out of their slate of films, Marvel has further detailed their coming entries, adding both some new heroes to the MCU as well as giving titles for some of the sequels.<\/p>\n

2015
– Avengers: Age of Ultron<\/i>
– Ant-Man<\/i>
2016
– Captain America: Civil War<\/i>
– Doctor Strange<\/i>
2017
– Guardians of the Galaxy 2<\/i>
– Thor: Ragnarok<\/i>
– Black Panther<\/i>
2018
– Avengers: Infinity War, Part 1<\/i>
– Captain Marvel<\/i>
– Inhumans<\/i>
2019
– Avengers: Infinity War, Part 2<\/i><\/p>\n

It's good to see Black Panther joining the MCU, and I will be shocked if Captain Marvel isn't the Carol Danvers version (which isn't to say that Mar-Vell might not show up in an earlier installment). That the Avenger (and both GotG and Captain Marvel) are tied into the Infinity War is a welcome non-surprise. And, huzzah, the MCU Thor will get its own version of Ragnarok (with multiple comic book selections to meld from).<\/p>\n

The solo adventures of Tony Stark appear to be over — which is okay, because he's had a good arc (so to speak) in his three movies. And the Big Government Conspiracy Fest of the Civil War will be a very neat follow-on to the Winter Soldier. (Presumably Tony Stark will play some role in that one, too.)<\/p>\n

(Utter speculation here: Ultron is Tony's fault\/creation. That drives him to join forces with the government (if not forcibly drafted) to put forth the registration scheme that turns into the Civil War.)<\/p>\n

Ant-Man is, presumably, due to join a rejiggered Avengers somewhere down the road. Not sure if or where Doctor Strange will fit into the broader scheme of things, but I look forward to finding out.<\/p>\n

Of course, there's nothing to say that a few flops might not radically change, if not truncate, this series, but overall I'm pretty jazzed by what's here.<\/p>\n
