MCU Phase 3: Have it your way - Part 1

How I'd like Phase III to go down:

2015
Ant-Man - July

2016
Cap 3 - April
Guardians 2 - July
Thor 3 - November

2017
Doctor Strange - May
Black Panther - July

2018
Avengers 3 - May

I really want them to squeeze Black Panther and GOTG 2 into Phase 3, but it seems unlikely at this point.

I really want them to squeeze Black Panther and GOTG 2 into Phase 3, but it seems unlikely at this point.
I like your list; I would love all of those movies to be in Phase 3. But just a critique: I wouldn't order them that way. I would have one of the non-sequels in 2016 and one or two sequels in 2017, just to balance things out. Plus I would want a movie that leads into Avengers 3 to release the year before 2018, much like Winter Soldier does for A:AOU. But who knows? Maybe Doctor Strange and/or Black Panther would be great lead-ins for Avengers 3.
 
With Captain America 3 confirmed, I'd like to think that means three spots are left(one in 2016, two in 2017.) My guess is if GOTG is sucessful it''l get a sequel and I fully expect a Thor sequel. The last film I think would be Dr. Strange, but then again they might throw a curveball and have a Hulk sequel or Black Panther.
 
If they do increase to 3 films a year perhaps we could get 7 films in phase 3, (ph1 was 6, ph2 just 5). Although 6 seems the most likely, I could see 7 films as ph3 if both 2016 and 2017 are 3 films each, plus Ant-man in 2015 equals 7. How I could see that/what I would like to see,

2015
Ant Man

2016
Cap 3
Doctor Strange
Thor 3

2017
GOTG2/and or Ms. Marvel
Avengers 3
Black Panther

for the 2017 films you could shuffle around Black Panther and the GOTG sequel which I think could be more of a Ms. Marvel spinoff/standalone film but still most closely/tied and set in the GOTG niche of the MCU, expanding that part of the universe/story. Either way which ever one comes first would depend on how and/or where they intend to take the story leading into and out of Avengers 3. That would be my ideal phase 3.

Although perhaps looking at it again, maybe what ever film is post Avengers 3, would possibly be phase 4 already. The only ones I can see as possibly certain right now for phase 4 might be Iron man 4 and Avengers 4 with possibly a Dr. Strange sequel. And of course hopefully we'll get an Inhumans film at this point. Possibly also a Hulk sequel perhaps and maybe some team-up flicks based on some of the traditional double-billings from the comics i.e Cap/Iron Man Tales of Suspense, maybe a Nick Fury/Dr. Strange Strange Tales, perhaps finally the Black Widow/Hawkeye Budapest prequel, maybe a Thor/Namor crossover? I'd like to see a Cap 4 too if possible although he could the Iron Man of phase 4 and return for phase 5. Hopefully the franchise will still be going strong.

Probably phase 4/5 is where I would expect to start seeing possible re-castings of the Major players or transitions in continuity/possible "reboots", although I'd like to see them take this version, at the very least continuity/timeline as far as they can and see how developed it can become.
 
With Captain America 3 confirmed, I'd like to think that means three spots are left(one in 2016, two in 2017.) My guess is if GOTG is sucessful it''l get a sequel and I fully expect a Thor sequel.

I'm going for Black Panther, though personally I rrrrrreally want to see Hulk sequels :)

Here's what I think we've got to come now up to Avengers 3...

I'd like to see 3 films a year, something like this...

2016: Cap 3, Dr. Strange, TIH2
2017: Thor 3, Black Panther, GOTG2 (intro Ms. Marvel, set up Thanos/Infinity Gauntlet)
2018: Avengers 3: Infinity Gauntlet
 
I'm hopging they go to 3 films a year by 2017 and phase 3 is:

2015 - Ant-Man
2016 - Captain America 3, Dr. Strange
2017 - Thor 3, Hulk 2, Guardians of the Galaxy 2
2018 - Avengers 3

It'd be awesome to add a 3rd 2016 film, but not sure they will be ready to do that by 2016. Unless they want to place Thor 3 in Nov 2016 or something.
 
If we get 3 a year I'd be down for something like this
Phase 3

2015- Antman
2016 - CA3, Dr. Strange, Thor3
2017- TIH 2, Black Panther, GotG2
2018- Avengers 3

Wow I would love that lineup!

Awesome choices! I think we won't see Thor 3 'till 2017 though :(
 
Thats probably true, I put Thor in 2016 just to move it closer and put some space between the GotG movies.

I can't see them going through three phases without a female-led superhero movie.

Other than Black Widow, none of the female heroes seem to be much of a priority. The big 3 non-sequel properties Feige keeps coming back to are Doctor Strange, Black Panther and The Inhumans.

Until they do...watch.

Everyone was shocked when GoTG was announced, but Feige hinted it several times. The big 3 non-sequels he keeps hinting at are Doctor Strange, Black Panther and The Inhumans. All three of those will happen before Ms. Marvel imo.

But he's also talked about making a female-led film.
 
Why don't they just expand his contract given that he is the most popular character?
 
Anyway, what I would want between Avengers 2 and Avengers 3, knowing very little about the universe:

Cap 3
Some female-led movie, maybe send Scarlet Witch to investigate Ms. Marvel
Doctor Strange
Black Panther
 
Why don't they just expand his contract given that he is the most popular character?

He may not be interested in adding onto his contract. He's made several statements about his age coming into play sooner rather than later.
 
Ant-Man
Thor 3
Black Panther
Doctor Strange
Captain America 3
Guardians of the Galaxy 2
Avengers 3

I would have...

Year 1. Captain marvel and iron man
Year 2. Loki: blood brothers and black panther
Year 3. Captain America: the assassination and doctor strange
Year 4 avengers dissassembled
 
Why do people keep wanting to make movie versions of terrible and thematically incompatible comic book story arcs?
