Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 3 (Movie Lineup Through 2019)

[Edward J Grug III]

I am a bit surprised I dont see Spider-Man on that list anywhere.

I think that's just because it's technically still a Sony property?

That is true, but it is still going to be part of the MCU continuity. The articles I see show it. http://www.slashfilm.com/marvel-movie-plans/

I wonder how many of the untitleds are sequels?

Marvel need to launch their horror franchises so that they can put out more movies per year, but space out the super hero films.

Werewolf By Night, Simon Garth (Tales of the Zombie), Satana, Man-Thing, N'Kantu the Living Mummy, Manphibian. (I assume they don't have access to Morbius unless they cut a deal with Sony, but they are on good terms with them, so maybe) They can tie them together with a Legion of Monsters movie.

All of these can tie nicely in with relanched Blade films and Ghost Rider (who they have the rights back for) as well.

Dr Strange would cross over nicely too.

And they should do it before Universal get their train-wreck of a universe launched properly.

I'd be up for monsters, but I think they'd do better in like a Marvel/Netflix format, since most are 'smaller' stories.  Maybe Marvel/Amazon, since Marvel/Netflix is already pretty well tapped out with the multiple series they are producing, particularly since some - like Daredevil - are getting second seasons in addition to the initial seasons of their other joint co-productions.

When I watched the Blus of Agents of SHIELD season 1, it was funny in a mention by Agent Hill in a phone call talking about things packed away along with Blonsky, saying something to the effect of, "a 'Man-Thing', I mean really, what is that?!"   So they've clearly already established they are part of this filmic universe, some already existing.

Yeah, I remember that line very clearly. Because I was so pissed that when all of the things were released after the events of Captain America 2, that THE ABOMINATION wasn't on the top of their priority list! It really shows the hindrance of their TV show budget.

[Edward J Grug III]

Yeah, I do like the idea of a Netflix series, but the budget impact might hurt these franchises that need heavy special effects? I'm thinking a larger budget than a TV series, but much smaller than a regular MCU movie.

That would likely lead to a higher return for them too.

And have them tap directors who might work in horror movies in that range - Neill Marshal on Werewolf by Night, for example.

Actually, a clever way to do a TV series might be as an anthology show, spotlighting different character each week... Hmmm.

(They also referenced Hell Cow on Agents of SHIELD!)

Well, also that's a character owned by another company, don't forget. Hulk is at Universal still.

True. Although I am actually surprised they still have the rights since as far as I know, they aren't going to make another Hulk movie any time soon. It would be great if one of the unnamed spots was for a Hulk movie. I still want to see Tim Blake Nelson back as The Leader.
Speaking of which, presumably they were planning on making Hulk sequels originally. So I wonder how they would have been included in the overall storyline leading up to the Avengers.

[Edward J Grug III]

I'll wager Universal can sit back an make money risk free at the moment having Marvel have to pay them to use The Hulk, so they are probably happy to allow that, given that two Hulk films have flopped already.

I wonder what the terms of the contract are though. Do they need to use him by a certain date? That might force a Hulk sequel sooner than either studio wants one...

Or maybe the Avengers movies count towards it? Who knows.

I just hope whoever's making Thor: Ragnarok has something a bit more ambitious in mind than the Dark World. I was really unimpressed with that movie.

Me too. The villain was as generic as can be. And the "evil space Kool-Aid" was just embarrasing.

Particularly when they are 'Infinity STONES', not 'Infinity Goo'.

[Edward J Grug III]

I am a huge fan of the guy they are trying to get, but I have a hard time marrying him up with a Thor movie, and even more so for Thor: Ragnarok.

But, hey, the Russo Bros were sit com directors before Captain America: Winter Soldier.

And they are amazing. What they did on Arrested Development was amazing.

[Edward J Grug III]

Marvel have done an amazing job of getting directors I would have never picked in a million years and having them deliver great films.
