I don't understand how you would reach this conclusion re: Black Panther. IMO the movie that has the biggest risk is Ant-Man. He doesn't have a good origin, and his greatest claim to fame in the Marvel Universe is his creation of Ultron, even though he was one of the founders of Avengers. I don't understand why Marvel Studios would waste a slot in Phase III for Ant-Man, quite frankly.
Ant-Man was supposed to be the first Marvel studios movie. Ant-Man wasn't made yet because of Edgar not Marvel. Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish wrote a draft for the character back when the rights were at another studio and when they went back to to Marvel they were the first to approach Marvel about making a movie. Kevin Feige has always said they will make Ant-Man when Edgars ready and find a slot for him. Feige was willing to breaking Marvels two movie a year policy for Ant-Man.
Black Panther not getting a movie yet hasn't got anything to do with Ant-Man.
Ant-Man is going to be a big action movie based of multiple Ant-Man's mythology as well as original stuff Wright and Cronish has have come up with. Comic backgrounds don't matter that much to general audiences. What matters is if the movie looks good. No one cared about Blade comics but they made a couple of good movies that found a fanbase.
I'm sure Black Panther is coming soon. I would rather wait for Marvel to come up with a great Black Panther movie than just shove out some weak bad panther movie because fans aren't willing to wait a little while. We had to wait for Iron Man, Thor and an Avengers movie and they turned out pretty good in my opinion.
