Big News From Marvel: Black Panther, Dr. Strange, and Much, Much, MUCH More

Posted on October 28, 2014 at 6:46 pm

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. For more details about these characters and the gleanings from the titles by the fanboys and fangirls, check out #MarvelEvent tweets.

Trailer: The Avengers: Age of Ultron

I’m very excited about the next Avengers movie, coming out next spring, and it’s a great trailer with the bleak images, random ballerinas, and creepy re-do of the classic song from “Pinocchio” (Disney loves to dip into its own archive, as it did with the “Peter Pan” songs in “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad Day”). But is it just me or does it look like they’re fighting a Transformer?

What! No Female Superhero Movies?

Posted on March 18, 2014 at 3:58 pm

On top of the distressing news that Halle Berry’s Storm character in the new X-Men movie has been cut down to one scene — possibly just one line — and Anna Pacquin’s Rogue removed entirely, comes some more bad news. According to CinemaBlend, Marvel’s Kevin Feige has announced that there are no plans to make a female superhero movie.

Marvel has either released, or officially announced, thirteen movies. That includes a trilogy for Iron Man and Captain America and two Thor films, and none of these films have focused on lead females at all. The Avengers counts one female among the core group, as does Guardians Of The Galaxy.

Hey, Kevin, “Gravity” and “The Hunger Games” did pretty well last year. There is a big audience for women-led action movies, and there are a lot of actresses in Hollywood who are ready for those roles. I’m pretty sure you can find some story in the Marvel multiverses that would pass the Bechdel test.
