We still haven’t had the official news from Marvel Studios
as to what their two remaining mystery films, for Phase 2, are; but the hints at
a ‘Guardians of The Galaxy’ movie have been coming. From Thanos at the end of
The Avengers (and just appeared in the new Avengers Assemble comic, to deal with Thanos no less); to Studio head, Kevin Fiege, commenting on the difficulties of
convincing people that a film with a talking, alien Racoon, a sentient, ambulatory, Tree and other ‘weirdos’ could work.
Kenneth Branagh’s, pleasingly
successful, Thor was the risky door opener for the MCU; to aliens and the
infinite ‘Cosmic’ side of Marvel that they are so famous for in the comic book
world, but prior to Thor and The Avengers, not necessarily so known for in the ‘wider
world’. You cannot deny Marvel Studios are on a roll; even their only "failure", The Incredible Hulk" did what it needed to do and helped putting the Hulk in the Avengers a viable option. Almost everyone agrees Hulk was a big smash (sorry) in that film and calls persist for the character to get a new film.
Phase One...
(Update: This has since been run in both Variety & The Hollywood Reporter, so it seems to be correct.)
So because of the signs I’ve decided to run this even though t isn’t a confirmed story. Latino Review are convinced that this is the film to fill Marvel Studios' summer 2014 slot (Captain America 2 is due on the 4th of April 2014, so Guardians should be out on the 27th of June 2014. However I believe Marvel still hold the 16th of May as well.). So that’s Iron Man 3, Thor 2 in 2013; Captain America 2 & Guardians of The Galaxy in 2014 and what will end phase 2 (other than The Avengers 2). The Assumption has been that it is just going to be The Avengers 2 in 2015, but I think there may yet be 2 MCU films in 2015, with Black Panther, Ant Man and The Incredible Hulk all in with a shout. Edgar Wright, director of Hot Fuzz, Shaun of The Dead and Scott Pilgrim, has in fact recently finished shooting a Test Reel for his Ant-Man film.
