It's been ten years in the making and it has taken 18 films to reach the pinnacle of what will be the biggest game-changer in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After only showing up briefly throughout the films (Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, & Avengers: Age of Ultron), Thanos has taken center stage with the Black Order as they reign chaos in Avengers: Infinity War. I will be giving a brief non-spoiler review, and then diving in to go over some of the best (and very spoiler-filled) moments.
Ever since they announced that the film was being pushed up a week to April 27th, we all have been asking the same question; Is there going to be a second trailer? We are a little over a month away and all we have is that one teaser trailer three months ago.
After 10 years, 18 films, and over 30 characters introduced among the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we have finally reached the film that everyone was talking about since we first saw Thanos in the end credit scene of the first Avenger film; Avengers: Infinity War teaser trailer. If you have not seen it yet, here it is:
Due to there being so many rumors about the upcoming slate of comic book movies, I thought a little cheat sheet on the site might be a good idea. I'll update and keep track of all the dates and details for each upcoming movie on both Marvel and DC's side of things.

Although "Captain America: Civil War" was the beginning of Marvel's third phase, the introduction of the Sorcerer Supreme is the REAL beginning. Being that this was the first story of a new character since Ant-Man back in 2015 (I'm not including Black Panther and Spider-Man because those were cameos), it really needed to push the boundaries to keep us intrigued. I know it got a lot of hype overseas and I did a pretty god job staying away from early reviews so that I wouldn't be spoiled, at least up until 2 hours before seeing it...thanks internet. This movie is the quintessential setup of the new line up of heroes which include Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and to a certain extent, Wasp. Would this movie live up to the hype of the rest of the franchise? Overall, there has yet to be a genuine flop, but over the last couple of years, I personally kept waiting for that shoe to drop, mainly when they first announced "Guardians of the Galaxy" and then later on with the announcement of "Ant-Man". I had the pleasure of not only seeing it on opening night, BUT was also able to see in the Regal's 4DX theater.
Saturday is always a monster day for Geek news coming out of SDCC. Hall H is the place to be for breaking news about upcoming movies, casting news, and brand new trailers. We already saw what WB and DC unveiled, not to be outdone, Marvel stepped up and knocked it out of the park again (can't get enough baseball cliches).
Jimmy Kimmel's streak of getting the best in breaking geek related trailers continues. Tonight, during his Marvel Week, with Benedict Cumberbatch as his guest, he debuted the first official teaser for the upcoming entry into Marvel's Phase Three, Doctor Strange.
This morning EW gave us all our first look at Benedict Cumberbatch as Marvel's Sorcerer Supreme Doctor Strange. The new photos shows Cumberbatch in costume and some new concept art as well.
News broke today that Marvel has finally chosen the Sorcerer Supreme. Varietyreports that Benedict Cumberbatch has been cast as Doctor Strange for his upcoming solo film directed by Scott Derrickson with the script written by Jon Spaihts.
Marvel Studios held an event today to announce some big and surprising things. Kevin Feige would come onto the stage and tell us a LOT of things were to come in our near future
Earlier today Marvel announced a large Civil War event to take place in the Marvel Comic Book Universe in 2015, now Variety is reporting that we'll see some Civil War action taking place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as well. Robert Downey Jr. is in talks to join Chris Evans in 'Captain America 3' which will be directed by the Russo Brothers and is set for a May 6th 2016 release. The third film in the Cap series is set to follow 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' (May 1st 2015) and 'Ant-Man' (July 17th 2015.)
Earlier this week Marvel announced that Thor would be changed into a female character with a new series this Fall. Marvel wasn't done. Last night it was announced that Steve Rogers would be passing on the shield, but not to the Winter Soldier. Taking over for Rogers as Captain America will be Sam Wilson aka The Falcon.
Well, even though Marvel has lost their 'Ant-Man' director, its found their 'Doctor Strange' director. Scott Derrickson has been chosen to direct the adaptation to the large screen, ushering Marvel fans into the realm of the supernatural. Sure we've had aliens, and Gods and such, but Doctor Strange is a bit different and promises to bring something new to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He got name dropped in 'Captain America: Winter Soldier' and now we have solid confirmation of his very own stand alone film.
