Marvel is holding a press/fan event at Disney’s flagship theater on Hollywood Blvd today. Here’s the theater which is directly across the street from the locations where the Oscars are held each year.
What we already knew about Marvel’s plans was that Avengers: Age of Ultron was coming next May followed by Ant-Man on July 17th. Marvel had already claimed release dates through 2019 for the remainder of its phase 3 films but, until today, no one knew what those films would. Via Twitter, here is what Marvel is revealing today.
Here are Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans at the event announcing the film.
They were joined on stage by Chadwick Boseman, star of the Jackie Robinson movie 42, who will become Marvel’s Black Panther.
The event ended about half an hour ago. For someone like me who grew up reading all of these comics, Christmas came early this year. Needless to say, I’m not alone.
