So there I was, sitting in the middle of my History of International Relations lecture when I decided to check twitter. Turns out that Marvel Studios is trying to give me a heart attack this week, what with the leaked the Age of Ultron trailer, rumors about Benedict Cumberbatch as being cast as Doctor Strange, the new clip that's to follow Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. tonight, and then THIS. started today at 11 am PST (2 pm EST) and Marvel unveiled their plan of action for the next five years with a total of NINE whopping movies.

However, biggest news? Chadwick Boseman has been cast as T'Challa, better known as Black Panther, and Captain Marvel is going to happen with Carol Danvers!

So here goes! Phase Three is as follows (article here):

Captain America: Civil War, coming May 6, 2016

Starring Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. No news as of what's to happen within the movie, but we do know that it'll revolve around government control of superhero vigilantism rather than having to register their identities, given the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. This movie will start off Phase 3 rather than Ant-Man, which will be concluding Phase 2 instead.

Doctor Strange, coming November 4, 2016

No casting has been confirmed so far. Sorry Benedict fans!

Guardians of the Galaxy 2, coming May 5, 2017

Nothing has been confirmed as of yet.

Thor: Ragnarok, coming July 28, 2017

So that title that was leaked this summer? Actually real! Who'd have guessed?

Black Panther, coming November 3, 2017

Starring Chadwick Boseman, first leading black superhero in the Marvel franchise! There are some rumors that Black Panther might even appear in A:AOU and/or CA:CW, too.

Avengers: Infinity War, Part 1, coming May 4, 2018

What's this about Thanos and an Infinity Gauntlet, I hear?

Captain Marvel, coming July 6, 2018

Featuring Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel!

Inhumans, coming November 2, 2018

No information on this one just yet.

Avengers: Infinity War, Part 2, coming May 3, 2019

The conclusion of Infinity War, perhaps influenced by the addition of Captain Marvel and Inhumans.

So, let's hear it. Excited for Black Panther and Captain Marvel? Disappointed about Civil War and no Black Widow movie? Overwhelmed by the fact that this is going to be the next five years of your life? You know I am!

(I don't know too much about the comics myself, but if you have relevant information concerning possible plot lines, I'll add them here.)
