BP vs. The Mummy?

I suppose, though Marvel has more to gain than other studios when launching new franchises. One big character doesn't just boost the respective franchise, it boosts the whole MCU. That means they have a bigger incentive to try and launch new stars, rather than just milking what's proven.

It's strangely landing on black history month. Has to just be a coincidence.Happy to see them commit to an Ant-Man sequel. I see they've also decided to move Black Panther up so people won't have to wait until after Infinity War Pt1 to see him again post-Civil War. Not sure about Feb date though. Seems.... odd for a blockbuster? Maybe they're not making a blockbuster after all, and it'll be a 50 million dollar drama about T'Challa having to deal with diplomatic shit!
One of those "untitled" films is probably a holding date for Spider-man 2.
Damn last time I paid attention it was around 450 million. Did it release in China yet?
That's a lot better than I thought. Although I knew it was profitable so a sequel was likely anyway.

Deadpools landing in a February, although that has Ryan Reynolds

I can't help but think now that one of the unannounced movies will be Lady Thor or Ms. Marvel.
Another sidekick - pathetic beyond words. Big shame on Marvel Studios. If they announced five movies with female leads right now it would still be pathetic beyond words. They're so far behind it's not funny.

Sony will probably be mentioned before Marvel in all of the marketing stuff but what Sony wants is for the Spider-Man movies to appear as if there's nothing different between them and any other MCU film on Marvel's lineup. Pretty much the entire basis of the deal was to let Feige take the wheel on the franchise and for Spider-Man to get the kind of faith put into it as people put into Iron Man, GOTG or Avengers.
My bad it is 405. But my point still stands

At least they moved up Black Panther.
On a personal level, I just want to say I hate that both Marvel and DC use the time AROUND NYCC to make these type of announcements, but can't be arsed to do it at the actual show!
Last year, just two days AFTER DC announces their entire slate, now Marvel does this day one...
ARGH!

I thought Sony got to make those?
That's also a pretty low budget film with a R rating. Not a blockbuster!
Tell that to Pacific Rim.
Eh? Oscar contenders aren't released in Feb. That's when studios usually dump movies they typically want you to forget. They release them at the end of the year typically since that is the cut off time frame for an Oscar nomination. A movie release din Feb is usually long forgotten by the time Oscar season rolls around.They want Black Panther to be in contention for Best Picture at the Academy Awards
Would you rather wait for the movie or do you prefer to be triggered right away without knowing anything? Because right now you sound really unreasonable.
They haven't revealed what the movie is about, and it could actually be funny to see Wasp overshadow Ant-Man, in so many ways.
It's pathetic. Remember some of the excuses and statements in the past years?

I'm sure there've been more since then.

It's almost like Hollywood sees greater ROI in sequels over untested original IP. Weird.
Yeah ironically enough despite a lot of anti-hype it's one of the highest rated MCU movies and is only behind Iron Man, The Avengers, Cap 2 and Guardians. Ant-Man ended up surprisingly good and I'd say it's one of the MCU's better movies.
Spider-Man 2 is def. one of the 2020 titles. 2 years after a solo movie is little too soon for a sequel, especially since 2019 is going to be the Avengers 3 finale and Inhumans.

Oh god please for Ms. Marvel
Parallax
best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
Or they could build off of what they have instead of trying to retread failed plans
I wasn't hyped for it at all and have yet to see it.
I thought the trailer was good though.

I think ms.Marvel will probably get a Netflix or abc series.
But we need the captain Marvel movie first
Love the title. I like that Hope isn't going to be the typical Marvel love interest. It's about damn time.
It sucks to see Captain Marvel get pushed back again, but there hasn't been much traction in the project - they're not in a hurry to get casting going to begin with. Might as well let it brew a little longer.

Marvel really doesn't have a lot of female characters that are obvious candidates for a solo film. Doesn't mean they couldn't dig deeper, but sexism is only part of the problem.

Are you high? There was no possibility at all Wasp would be getting her own movie. Ant Man getting a sequel period is just shy of a miracle, and wasp getting a co-starring role in the movie (wasp was not a sidekick in AM1) Is a good thing, not a grand conspiracy to keep women down.
GTFO of here with this.

Black Panther in Feb?! Man Fox News is gonna spazz. Gonna tell viewers that "race war" is kicking off in 2018
Selma came out in January so there's that.
It came out December 2014, that is why it was able to be a contender for the oscars that year.
If it came out Jan 2015 it wouldn't be able to be a contender for nominations till the next Oscars that have yet to happen.
Well November has been a prime month for female lead movies for some time now. See Hunger Games and Twilight. The month itself is about as big as summer months anyway, and they have done well there before with Dark World. So the release date on that one makes perfect sense. I imagine there is good market research on that month in relation to female audiences. The February release date on BP is a bit more weird though. That is typically a smaller month. They may be trying to capitalize on Black history month, and there have been some successful big openings there in recent years( 50 shades and Lego for example.)
Edit
Disregard me. Just realized I misread and though captain Marvel was coming in November.

Yeah I believe Oscar bait is usually Nov onwards. Ride dat hype.
Puts it in Black History Month, which seems appropriate.

I'm still wondering if the movies will be fairly stand alone or if they will really tied closely with Infinity War movies. for example Ant-Man 2 after Infinity War 1, will it be another stand alone comedy movie ignoring Infinity War, or if Infinity War event will affect Ant-Man movie so the tone will be more darker since I'm pretty sure everyone expect Infinity War 1 to have some downer ending.

The main reason Pacific Rim 2 got canned, was so Universal and Legendary could pursue their King Kong/Godzilla movie.

Wasp is my favorite Marvel character, fuck yes!
I believe the rule is a film has to have a public screening in both NYC and LA by Dec 31st of they calendar year to be eligible for the next years Oscars.
Which is why so many are in the Nov/Dec time frame. End of the cut off and will be freshest in the voters minds.
