Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has dropped some new information about the Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 3 movies; namely Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Thor: Ragnarok and the new un-named Spider-Man movie. Details inside.
All three of these movies are slated to release in 2017.
First up is Thor: Ragnarok. This film is going to be more about the end of Asgard; “It’s going to be, perhaps, as totally different from the two prior Thor movies as Winter Soldier was from the first Captain America. We want to take it to new places, we’ve got new characters that will show how big we’re swinging on this. And we have a Hulk.”
Feige also says that they have new characters to show off for the flick and most of the action will be taking place outside of Earth.
Next up is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, with news of a roster change for the sequel.
“There’ve been many different incarnations of the Guardians over the years in the comics and we’ll catch a glimpse of additions over the course of the movie,” Feige said.
As for the villain, “I wouldn’t look too hard in that movie for Thanos. The next time we see Thanos he will not be messing around. It will be, ‘Oh, that’s why they’ve been teasing this villain for five years!”
Finally, Spider-Man is going to be a smaller movie than Marvel fans anticipated compared to the other Phase 3 movies. However, Feige says that scale is just relative:’
“It’s going to be as big and spectacular a Spider-Man film as has ever been made. But it’s a Peter Parker story and has more opportunity to be focused on the story of a 15-year-old kid going to high school.”
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 is slated to hit cinemas 5 May, while the yet-untitled Spider-Man film is coming 28 July with Thor: Ragnarok rumbling in 3 November 2017.
