Something about that suggestion feels a bit... too obvious? Like an extension of his role in Avatar, in a way? That said, he's a great villain actor. =)Did I kill this thread again? Ugh.
What do you guys think of Stephen Lang for Klaw?

Maybe. With Doctor Strange and Ant-Man, you open up the MCU to two unique corners of the universe--the world of magic and possibly the Microverse. Also, in response to MessiahDecoy, be sure not to limit the vision of the MCU as Avengers-only. Sure, the culmination of Phase III could be an Avengers sequel, but if they open up the MCU enough, we could see Phase III culminate to an even bigger storyline, beyond just the Avengers.maybe because Doctor Strange fits better into their Phase III plans similar to how GOTG fits with Phase II better than a BP film would
That's your opinion, but it might not be the direction Marvel is choosing to go. I actually think they're doing both simultaneously. They are planning an Ant-Man movie ("introducing an important new Avengers member," as you said) as well as planning a Doctor Strange movie (expanding the territory of the MCU). And again, let's not complain about Black Panther's exclusion until Phase 3 officially excludes him.Why not wait till phase 4 to expand to other parts of Marvel Universe?
Building up towards Avengers 3 should be the highest priority which means introducing important new Avenger members like the Black Panther and Ant Man.
Also I hate when people say BP doesn't add anything to the team.
He's the only Avenger who shares all the attributes of the main members.
Captain Americas combat skill
Thor's regal legacy
Iron Man's genius
Hulk's raw, primal intensity
This makes him one the most flexible members. You can't box him in.

It's important to note that while each phase does culminate with a big team-up or big event movie, Marvel is trying to make each individual film in each phase unique and compelling all on their own. Iron Man 3 will probably be as tied to Avengers 2 as the first Iron Man movie was to the Avengers--easter eggs and a teaser after the credits.The rest of the first Iron Man movie (95% of it) wasn't about building up towards the Avengers--it was about Tony Stark's journey. A Doctor Strange movie can be the same way, even if Phase 3 culminates in Avengers 3.
Also, I disagree that they should wait until phase 4 to expand to other parts of the Marvel Universe. You don't want the audience to think your whole cinematic universe is focused on and directly related to only 6 or 7 superheroes.
How does Dr Strange get put ahead Black Panther?
Strange isn't even an essential member of the Avengers like BP is.
