We might only be two-fifths of the way through Phase Two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but that hasn’t stopped speculation as to the studio’s third wave of movies, which is due to get underway after The Avengers: Age of Ultron in 2015. So far, all we know is that Phase Three will get underway in July 2015 with Edgar Wright’s Ant-Man, followed by three as-yet-unrevealed movies set to hit in 2016 and 2017. Well, speaking to Movie Web during a promotional interview for Thor: The Dark World, Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige has touched upon Phase Three, teasing the introduction of new characters to the MCU as well as revisiting some old favourites…
“Doctor Strange is definitely on there… We are developing it now and some of those other titles. I’d love to see an equal number of new story lines with existing characters, and brand new ones. Obviously we have Captain America: The Winter Soldier coming out… and then we have Guardians of the Galaxy, which is a whole new one… We plan on doing movies that people enjoy enough that they want to see another one, right… that’s the goal. And like I was saying, we have The Avengers: Age of Ultron, but then we have Ant-Man. So I like that becoming sort of the balance… with existing characters, and then new characters. And then as we go into Phase Three, certainly as you know from the comics, there are plenty of story lines for all of these characters that we can choose from. But I think someone, like a Doctor Strange, would be great to see, I just want to make sure we have a good story first. But it won’t be until middle of next year until we announce officially what the next stories will be.”
