Marvel’s superhero movie universe isn’t slowing down any time soon, and they’ve plotted out their schedule all the way through 2019. The dates add five new, unannounced movies to their plans for the next five years, so get ready for rampant speculation about what they might be. (Judging by James Gunn’s comments, maybe a Guardians of the Galaxy sequel?)
Here’s the full schedule, including the movies we already know about along with the new ones:
2015
May 1: The Avengers: Age of Ultron
July 17: Ant-Man
2016
May 6: Captain America 3
July 8: (Possibly the already announced Doctor Strange)
2017
May 5: Untitled
July 27: Untitled
November 3: Untitled
2018
July 6: Untitled
November 2: Untitled
2019
May 3: Untitled
And yes, James Gunn is already talking about a Guardians of the Galaxy sequel, telling ScreenRant what we all pretty much knew: “I’m actually in a somewhat weird position because if the movie does well, the I’m gonna make the sequel. And if it does okay then, well, I’ve already been offered other movies but I can only do those other movies if I don’t do the sequel, so it’s a weird situation.”
So, if we all go see Guardians of the Galaxy, it’s pretty likely the sequel will take one of these dates. There’s also the possibility that one of them is a standalone Hulk movie. Maybe the last one is Avengers 3, which will cause a superhero critical mass, and the entire medium of film will implode and end movies forever? And maybe, just maybe, one (or more) of these dates will feature one of Marvel’s female characters? Black Widow, Captain Marvel, perhaps even the new Thor?
