Wow, Marvel really knows how to make an announcement. Get out your calendars:
May 6, 2016: Captain America: Civil War
Nov. 4, 2016: Doctor Strange
May 5, 2017: Guardians of the Galaxy 2
July 28, 2017: Thor: Ragnarok
Nov. 3, 2017: Black Panther
May 4, 2018: Avengers: Infinity War – Part I
July 6, 2018: Captain Marvel
Nov. 2, 2018: Inhumans
May 3, 2019: Avengers: Infinity War – Part II
And here’s what makes it extra cool. Captain Marvel will be the first in the series about a female superhero and Black Panther will be the first starring a person of color. I was really happy to hear that Chadwick Boseman, who has previously played Jackie Robinson (“42”) and James Brown (“Get on Up”) has been cast as the Black Panther.

The NSA snooping on cell phones. Bradley Manning on trial. The people behind a 40-year-old robbery of FBI files that revealed extensive abuses finally coming forward. Target getting hit by hackers who steal thousands of credit card numbers. There is no more vital or complex issue in today’s world than the balance between privacy and security. And there is no individual closer to the heart of that story than Julian Assange, currently hiding out from international law enforcement in the Ecuadorian embassy in London. In last year’s film “The Fifth Estate,” Benedict Cumberbatch plays the enigmatic Australian uber-hacker. And I have a copy of the DVD to give away.
If you’d like to enter, send me an email at moviemom@moviemom.com with “Assange” in the subject line and tell me a government secret that you were glad to see made public. Don’t forget your address! (US addresses only.) I’ll pick a winner at random on January 21.
