I loved Ant-Man. While I don't know much of the character, I thought it was great. And will be epic to see Wasp and Ant-Man together. Wonder if we get Giant-Man or Goliath as well.

 

[RIDDICK]

... will lead to a couple of other films shifting their dates, with "Black Panther" moving up to February.

Dunno how I feel about this...

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

Didn't know Black Panther moved up. I had assumed they got pushed back. Captain Marvel got pushed another 4 months.

 

[karamazov80]

Awesome. Ant-Man was fun.

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

I'm interested in the line up though.


We have Black Panther, Infinity War Pt.1, and Ant-Man 2 in 2018. Then we have Captain Marvel, Infinity War Pt. 2, and Inhumans in 2019. Wonder what kind of Avenger teams we will get.


The 3 announced films also have me wondering. I feel Spider-Man 2 would have to be one for sure.

I guess this means Ant Man doesn't die in CW

 

[karamazov80]

Ant-Man isn't Scott Lang. Ant-Man is a symbol, of hope and freedom for all mankind!

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

Ant-Man isn't Scott Lang. Ant-Man is a symbol, of hope and freedom for all mankind!

Nah, Snyder already took that one.


I feel they'd stick with Lang. Don't see Stature coming any time soon.


Actually, I might be just delusional [98% sure it is] but a Young Avengers would be kind of cool.

Not unless he's vulnerable to quips and jokes.

A Young Avengers as well as a Runaways movie would be ideal!

 

[MegaPrime33]

Not sure why everyone seems so excited by this. Didn't you see it coming?

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

The only thing is that if that was the case, Spidey would probably be one, or not. NOt sure how it'd set up. Would be cool though.

I suppose so. I found it weird that every MCU film has had a sequel except for TIH, but also consider that Captain Marvel and Black Panther had only one film. Infinity war kind of seemed like the end, and we'd get some other stuff from now on.

Basically, seeing what has been confirmed had felt like it was set in stone for me. I suppose when we got the announcement for a Spidey film, one could have predicted this. Or we could have assumed Wasp or Ant-Man would continue appearances in Avenger films.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Bring it

 

[karamazov80]

I assumed that if something wasn't on Marvel's schedule it wasn't in the plans at all. And it does surprise me that Marvel Studios would give Ant-Man a sequel before giving Hulk a sequel. But it's good to know that these apparent stand-alones (including Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and Doc Strange) can get a sequel if the first film does decently.

a Runaways movie would be ideal!

. . .not a bad movie actually.

Make it happen, Marvel.

Spidey being a Young Avenger...that's a pretty damn interesting point. I don't know if they're gonna make him age like the rest of the MCU where it's in real time. If Peter is Gina be 15 in Civil War then he'd be 17 by his own film and 19 when Infinity War comes out. Maybe even already a full fledged Avenger.

I honestly never saw Infinity War as the "end game" yeah it's a big ass event, but I think and I also think that Marvel is just literally thinking comic book logic and no matter how big Infinity War is, the universe will just keep going. I'm sure people thought Infinity Gauntlet was the biggest thing ever in the early 90's but here we are, the comics just kept going and we kept getting more amazing stories and I really hope and think that the movies are taking the same route as the comics and will just keep going. Keep the continuity going! I'd love that.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Groovy! Ant-Man was pretty awesome in my book.

 

[nexus]

Looking forward to this. Both characters. New costumes. And maybe Giant Man.
