I'm sure his origin will be covered, just not for the first 45 minutes of the movie.
Marvel reportedly done with origin films, old Dr. Strange script scrapped and more

Can Adam Warlock be interesting enough for an entire film? Sort of thought he'd just pop in on the other Cosmic movies

He's getting a 13 episode (at least) TV series...
Soul Gem? Mayve a movie where he investigates Thanos' past? Church of Truth? Magus?
Lots of possibilities
In that sense does anyone else think Thanos needs his own movie before facing of the Avengers? We need more fleshed out villians in the MCU and Thanos can have an awesome solo film, his chiildhood, his rising to the mad titan and stuff would make a cool film

Bucky Barnes Cap for sure.
It's not a very complicated one, they could easily tell it through a couple of flashbacks.

good. origin films suck ass. they're predictable, boring and do little in showcasing the breadth of the characters relating to the protagonist.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
I'm ok with them retiring Thor and Cap after their 3rd movies (and final appearances in Avengers 3 I assume). Chris Evans is my favorite actor and Hemsworth is pretty high up there too so I have no interest in the MCU once they leave and both actors are kind of over it at this point anyways.
Audiences will prob be burned out by these films by 2018 anyways and without Evans, Hemsworth and Downey to draw them in I can't see the success of these movies continuing forever.

Not saying sucess is perpetual, but the box office figures for GotG say otherwise.

Just replace him with a reformed Loki. Only reason I watched Dark World.

I'm a little tired of Loki. Would prefer BRB take Thor's place.

I'd be willing to watch Captain America 9 if they were willing to make it, i don't want them to stop at Captain America 3 
It would probably be more accurate to say the Hulk has the Bill BIxby/Lou Ferrigno TV series. Ang Lee's film is more or less apocryphal at this point. The Hulk has been a major presence in pop culture for a very long time now. I support Marvel's decision to limit origin stories, if this is true. Minimal backstory is all that's needed for the vast majority of heroes. Spending 45 minutes on Strange's origin would not be particularly interesting, or a good use of screen time considering the point in the MCU story his movie will likely be released in.

Sebastian Stan is contracted for 7 more films. The Captain America series will continue long past 3, even if Chris Evans decides not to.

Agreed. Dedicating five minutes of the film to explain his story briefly isn't a crime, especially since I'm pretty sure most people don't know the character.

Especially since they will be introducing magic (which even Thor skipped over)

The math doesn't add up to Captain America 3 hitting a billion dollars.

If a movie only spends five minutes on his origin, it's not an origin story movie. They won't completely ignore origins, they just won't focus on them for an entire movie.
Do it like Blade. Sprinkle the origin throughout the story, but don't make the audience wait for the superhero stuff.
This is similar to GotG [some vague character background spoilers.
They spend maybe 10 minutes on Star Lord's life as a kid and backstory info other characters feed the audience later in the film but with those 10 minutes you know everything there is to know about him. Same thing for Drax and Rocket. Audiences don't need to see to see the origin and are willing to roll with the characters having whatever power as long as their origin gets a quick mention.

I really like origin stories when done well (Batman Begins, Iron Man) so it's a shame that Captain Marvel won't be able to potentially get one.

No origin story for Strange makes a lot of sense, honestly. Introduce him at the height of his powers, almost as a terrifying, elemental force, and then humanise him over the course of the movie.
If this is true, I predict we'll get some audience insert character to introduce us to the world and serve as the protagonist until we get to know Strange a little.

Cap 2 implies he's already a significant person of interest by the time that film starts, so this is pretty likely.
Why? Iron Man went from $620M to $1210M in one sequel. Cap needs to increase another $290M.
I like the idea of ending the Cap and Thor series. It will also be interesting to see how Disney manages their cosmic and magical franchises like Guardians and Dr. Strange considering the Star Wars sequel trilogy and spinoffs around the corner.
For Dr. Strange you really don't need much of an origin story, and I wonder if Mandarin will be teased at again as well.

Nah, that'll be in Black Panther. Because I actually want to see Everett K. Ross on screen too.
It was basically a Joker origins story though
I think Blade is a better example, because any Batman movie needs an origin story like a fish needs sand.

Yeah, audience insert character makes a lot of sense, as annoying as they can be. As far as his origin, I would be cool with the first movie touching on it throughout, with the sequel really fleshing it out. The formula has worked before, and I expect one marvel property at least will do it that way.
I'm not sure why we're spoiler marking
Civil War
I agree and I disagree.
On one hand, the surgeon thing grounds the character. On the other hand, GotG 2 is going to be a million times better than the second one now that the film won't be weighed down by all of the introduction stuff.

I am tired of origin stories movies
I want more Captain America: Winter Soldier and Punisher Warzone type movies and less Amazing Spider-man 1 and Captain America 1 movies
ASM1's reboot origin story was worse and longer than Raimi's SM origin story

So... after the cameo should we have a Carol movie ? =D
A Dr Strange movie that is not an origin story will feel ... WEIRD
How do you explain all the magic stuff ?
