Albeit a tad mysterious with the titles, Marvel has unveiled the release dates of their upcoming movies.
July 28 and November 3, 2017; July 6 and November 2, 2018; and May 3, 2019. Expect to hear more about the five films at Comic Con next weekend.
However, we do know these titles/releases:
- AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON – May 1, 2015
- ANT-MAN – July 31, 2015
- CAPTAIN AMERICA 3 – May 6, 2016
Added to the superhero dance mix is DC Comics/Entertainment. According to Variety, Warner Bros Pictures is still planning to release BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE on May 6, 2016 as well.
DOCTOR STRANGE (Scott Derrickson directing) is coming to the Marvel cinematic universe on July 8, 2016.
Empire Online recently asked Marvel’s Kevin Fiege about Strange.
Does the choice of Scott Derrickson, who’s best known for horror, as director for Doctor Strange indicate where the film is going?
I would say you can certainly look at the past work of the filmmakers we hire as a bit of an indication for the tone of the movie, but not necessary everything. The Russos, who are well known for their sitcoms, there is nothing sitcom about The Winter Soldier! No, I wouldn’t say just because he has only done horror movies means that Doctor Strange is going to be a horror movie. It means he is a talented filmmaker who we think could add something unique and very fresh to the particular franchise. But there could be scary moments. There are scary moments in all our movies! There are some scary people that Strange has to deal with, I will say.
Lest we forget, STAR WARS: EPISODE VII will hit theaters December 18, 2015.

From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team—the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe.
To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits—Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand—with the galaxy’s fate in the balance.
Hollywood Records and Marvel are set to release three albums from Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy on July 29, 2014. Check out how you can order all 3 here.
