Marvel's Announcement

Hey guys.

As I'm sure many of you are aware now Marvel has released a flurry of new information about their upcoming film projects and what heroes are next to receive the big screen treatment and lets be honest with ourselves. Its fucking amazing. So sit back and bget ready for some nerdgasms.

My face seeing the announcement

Marvel have clearly had a game plan since day 1 with their movie franchises and that plan seems to be going strong to this day. Ever since Iron Man was released in 2008 Marvel has been gradually building a universe where all of the fan favourites can get big films and not have to be bent over a pinball table to please studio executives.

Marvel started out building slowly but surely to the Avengers which was an accomplishment almost every studio before Marvel had thought impossible to do right (The reason we have not had crossovers between Fox franchises or a Justice League movie)

But after the success of Avengers many doubted if Marvel could keep up this winning streak. Every film being awesome in their own right. Every character getting a story that brings out their unique personality that only adds to the enormity of what it means for an Avengers film. Marvel has captured lightning in a bottle time and time again with their films and with the new line up for the next few years its hard to see fault in their plan.

On that note i think its time to show the next phase of Marvel films. 

Phase 3

So. What does this mean for the characters we know and does it show any hints as to what marvel plan to do with their franchises.

Now there are many familiar names there and some name that have you scratching your head. Don't worry Marvel will make you very familiar with them soon enough through Disneys many channels of promotion. Also i think it needs to be mentioned that whoever handles the casting for Marvel deserves a massive pay rise after nailing every character to an actor that can portray the shit out them and give it their all *cough Benedict Cumberbatch cough cough*

We also got a look at the concept art for Black Panther and it looks perfect.

Now if your a fan of the comics you will no doubt jizzed your pants at 2 of the parts to the picture below. The first being the "Civil War" story, now in the comics this was a huge event where the US government passes the superhero registration act which in essence means heroes must report to the government and act like their own police force with regulations and restrictions on what they can do and for many people to reveal their secret identity. The main drive of the story being two main Avengers pick completely different sides to what you would expect their characters to pick. Billionaire playboy philanthropist Iron Man sides with the government and wants all super powered heroes to sign up where Captain America is opposed to the idea and argues that heroes required secrecy in order to protect aspects of their 'normal' life, such as spouses and children, and to allow them to act in whatever means necessary against threats which the ordinary emergency services couldn't cope with. Now this is a huuuge storyline that is extremely well executed and has a massive aspect to the story which if done in the film would BLOW YOUR FUCKING MIND.

The second picture that would have left your jizz covered room begging for you to stop looking at is the Avengers: Infinity War poster. This is the most ambitious film idea ever in my opinion as it will see everything Marvel has been building come together in a scale that will make DC and Warner Brothers shit their pants with fear. In a nutshell this looks like its Marvels moneyshot. Every character they have shown us in all of their movies will be in this film which means we will see the Guardians Of The Galaxy team up with The Avengers to fight Thanos in space. THAT IS FUCKING HUGE!!

Now its unclear if Marvel will be rebooting their many franchises after this film but it would seem likely considering the actors will be ageing and they would want to start up again with fresher faces that can keep up the roles for longer. This could be interesting because it means that they can use the time old comic book tradition of saying "We aren't changing your favourite characters. This is just an alternate dimension" which is the easiest way to calm every angry Internet nerd who hasn't seen their favourite iteration of a character being portrayed while giving them hope it could happen in the future.

So what do you guys think? Are you excited to see where Marvel will be taking their ever expanding universe? Let me know in the comments below.
