This Week in Comics – October 29th

Marvel’s Phase 3 Unleashed!

     So yesterday in L.A. Marvel Studios revealed their scheduled movies for the next 5 years, commonly referred to as Phase 3.  Some films like Doctor Strange, Thor: Ragnarok and Guardians of the Galaxy 2 aren't huge surprises, but a few are surprising and/or about-dang-time titles.  After rumors of the 3rd Avengers movie being themed around the Civil War comic storyline we've learned that it’s actually Captain America who gets the Civil War treatment and Avengers 3 & 4 (yes it’s getting split) will follow the Infinity War story.

The other exciting movie slated for the future is Captain Marvel featuring the Carol Danvers version of the character.  In the about-dang-time part of this news story was that Black Panther has been slated for November 3rd, 2017 and has Chadwick Boseman cast as the titular character.  Here’s the link for everything for phase 3!

By the Vishanti!

     Spinning off of the above entry, we more or less may have a definitive casting for the Master of the Mystic Arts, a.k.a. Doctor Strange.  It appears that Star Trek: Into Darkness and The Hobbit villain Benedict Cumberbatch is in final talks to take up the role of Sorcerer Supreme.  Based on the couple of episodes of Sherlock that I've seen, he can easily pull of the aloofness of the good doctor.  Hopefully we will get to see him in the costume soon! View the news here.

Stay Classy Denizens!
