Kevin Feige Gives Details on GUARDIANS 2, THOR: RAGNAROK, and The New SPIDER-MAN
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has provided a few updates about upcoming MCU Phase 3 movies to Empire Magazine, and though that feature isn't online yet, CBM managed to track down the exact quotations of the interview. They talk about the three Marvel Studios movies that will be released in 2017, so let's go through them one by one:
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Looks like the roster for the team is going to change in the sequel. “There've been many different incarnations of the Guardians over the years in the comics and we'll catch a glimpse of additions over the course of the movie,” Feige said. As for the villain, “I wouldn't look too hard in that movie for Thanos. The next time we see Thanos he will not be messing around. It will be, 'Oh, that's why they've been teasing this villain for five years!”
Thor: Ragnarok
Apparently this film will be about more than just the end of the Asgardian world. “I don't think people will read into that title alone [regarding] what the movie's going to be,” he said. “It's going to be, perhaps, as totally different from the two prior Thor movies as Winter Soldier was from the first Captain America. We want to take it to new places, we've got new characters that will show how big we're swinging on this. And we have a Hulk." As for where it takes place, Feige confirms that most of the action will be seen "within the cosmos primarily which is to say, frankly, very little Earth.”
Spider-Man
It sounds like this new solo film is going to be a smaller movie than Marvel Studios fans can expect in other Phase 3 features, but Feige explained that a “smaller scale is all relative. It's going to be as big and spectacular a Spider-Man film as has ever been made. But it's a Peter Parker story and has more opportunity to be focused on the story of a 15-year-old kid going to high school.”
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 arrives on May 5th, 2017, the untitled solo Spider-Man film arrives on July 28th, 2017, and Thor: Ragnarok hits on November 3rd, 2017.
