Two
weeks ago, Warner Bros. revealed their full slate of DC films until 2020. Now,
and not to be left behind, Marvel has decided to the same.
Just moments ago Marvel's Studios President, Kevin
Feige announced that Thor 3, now Thor: Ragnarok, will see the return of Loki
(Tom Hiddleston), but also that this film is "very
important movie for us in Phase 3. We plan on taking Thor to another level. It
picks up where we leave Thor in Avengers: Age of Ultron and impacts
everything that comes after."
One of the surprises of the afternoon was the
announcement of Inhumans, which Feige promises will "introduce dozens of
characters into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We really do believe the
Inhumans can be a franchise or a series of franchise unto themselves. They have
dozens of powers and an amazing social structure. With our 20th movie in the
Marvel Cinematic Universe, we wanted to continue to refine what that universe
is about."
Feige also confirmed what many of us already
suspected, that a Captain Marvel movie was on the way.
"This Captain Marvel’s name is Carol Danvers," he said. "This film has been in
the works almost as long as Doctor Strange or Guardians of the
Galaxy before it came out, and one of the key things was figuring out what
we wanted to do with it. Her adventures are very earthbound, but her powers are
based in the cosmic realm."
The conversation then went to Feige's passion project,
Doctor Strange.
"It takes a while to work on these movies before
they're ready to come to you in theaters," said Feige. "Doctor Stephen
Strange, brilliant neurosurgeon, bit of an arrogant fellow who gets in a car
accident and ruins what he thinks are the tools of his trade: his hands. In the
Marvel Cinematic Universe version of the supernatural, that involves everything
from quantum mechanics to string theory. The idea of this film is to open up a
whole new corner of the cinematic universe. We want to enter, through Strange,
the world of parallel dimensions."
Finally, Feige also revealed, "Black Panther and all of
Wakanda is one of the most interesting characters in Marvel history. Something
I already showed you today contains an Easter egg that leads directly
into Black Panther. He’s a bit of a prince, he may even become a bit
of a king, but it’s all about how this isolationist country meets the world. Maybe it goes well, maybe it doesn’t."
