Marvel Press Announcement

 Today Marvel announced their Phase 3 lineup of films at a mystery press event! So the films announced are as follows:
Captain America: Civil War (May 6, 2016)- The lineup begins with Captain America Civil War. It will be released on May 6, 2016. Robert Downey Jr. was confirmed to reprise his role as Iron Man and the film will be based on an important comic book called Civil War that pits Iron Man against Captain America. Black Panther was also confirmed to appear in the film in some capacity. Chris Evans will reprise his role as Captain America.
Doctor Strange (November 4, 2016)- Doctor Strange was officially given a release date of November 4, 2016 even though it was highly speculated to be released in 2016. Marvel didn't announce who the Sorcerer Supreme would be played by but latest rumors suggest Benedict Cumberbatch is in negotiations for the role. but there have been rumors that Marvel is looking at several actors for the role so I'm unsure how credible that report is.
Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (May 5, 2017)- The release date of Guardians of the Galaxy 2 was moved to May 5, 2017 from the July release date given at San Diego Comic Con, probably due to the massive success of the film.
Thor: Ragnarok (July 28, 2017)- Thor 3 was given an official title and release date. It will be called Thor: Ragnarok and will be released on July 28, 2017. Chris Hemsworth will return and I'm sure Tom Hiddleston and Anthony Hopkins will as well.
Black Panther (November 3, 2017)- Black Panther is now officially confirmed for a November 3, 2017 release date after a rumor that it would be coming after the Age of Ultron trailer last week that did seem to have a Black Panther easter egg in it. It will be the first African American led superhero film. There is concept art for what Black Panther below.

Captain Marvel (July 6, 2018)- Captain Marvel will be released on July 6, 2018 after the first part of Avengers Infinity Wars.
Inhumans (November 2, 2018)- Inhumans will be released on November 2, 2018. It was probably greenlit because of Guardians of the galaxy's success of launching a comic book franchise that isn't well known.
Avengers Infinity War: Part One and Two ( May 2018 and May 2019)- Avengers 3 was confirmed to be split into two films and will be called Infinity War. I assume it will bring all of the Marvel characters together to defeat Thanos. A image was shown of Thanos wearing the Infinity Gauntlet with all of the Infinity gems in his possession.
