GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 - MAY 5, 2023
Yes, the journey to making Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has certainly been a rocky one. James Gunn's firing from the project in 2018 was met with significant backlash from fans and some of the cast, including Chris Pratt and Zoe Saldana. However, in March 2019, Disney reinstated Gunn as the director of the film following an outpouring of support for him.
Since then, Gunn has been working on other projects, including the upcoming DC film The Suicide Squad, which he wrote and directed. But he has also been developing the script for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which he has said will be the final installment in the trilogy.
THE MARVELS - NOVEMBER 10, 2023
Given that Captain Marvel was Marvel Studios' first billion dollar hit in 2019, Captain Marvel 2 has long been predictable as a future project for the franchise. But similar to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the company didn't rush its development. While it probably wouldn't have surprised anybody to see Brie Larson's Carol Danvers showing up again as the star of one of the first Phase 4 movies, she'll be back in Phase 5 for an awesome team-up story.
Following some shuffling in the schedule, it has been confirmed that The Marvels will be the third Marvel Cinematic Universe release of 2023, and at the helm of the project is Nia DaCosta, fresh off her excellent Candyman sequel. Teyonah Parris is returning as Monica Rambeau following her introduction on the Disney+ series WandaVision, and she will be joined in the cast by Iman Vellani, the star of Disney+'s Ms. Marvel series.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: NEW WORLD ORDER - MAY 3, 2024
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has a new Captain America, and soon he will be at the center of his very own movie. Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) first bequeathed his star-spangled shield to Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) at the end of Avengers: Endgame, but it was only through the course of events that play out in the Disney+ series The Falcon And The Winter Soldier that Sam has finally come to terms with taking on the mantle. Wearing a whole new Vibranium costume that still allows him to fly, his next adventure will see him soaring into theaters in Captain America: New World Order.
THUNDERBOLTS - JULY 26, 2024
The development of a Thunderbolts movie. It was reported in June 2022 that the project is in the works, and the production has already made two key hires: Eric Pearson, screenwriter behind Black Widow and Thor: Ragnarok is penning the script, and Robot & Frank's Jake Schreier is in the director's chair.
The roster for Thunderbolts was confirmed at D23 Expo 2022, and it will include Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), John Walker/U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell), Antonia Dreykov/Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko), Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian (David Harbour), and Ava Starr/Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen). Julia Louis-Dreyfus will be back as Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine and Harrison Ford will reprise the role of Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross after Captain America: New World Order.
About the Creator
Peanuts and Crackerjack
Bottom of the ninth inning. The game is tied with two outs, two strikes and a man on second. I tap the bat on home plate. The rigid vibrations it creates reminds my aching digits that this isn't over. The practice swing only adds to the heft of mental burnout... Man on second, willing to chance it. Pitcher eyes him but doesn't give in to the dangerous bluff. I kick up dust, readying the peculiar stance I've had since the days of little league. The bat lays stiff upon my cramping shoulder. Pain has no reason to be acknowledged; it's a fleeting afterthought. The sun sits passed high noon, but the stadium lights are on anyway. They trick my brain into believing they are the cause of this sweltering heat. Sporadic clouds are motionless, they too, don't want to miss this exhilarating predicament. Anticipating the next pitch, intensifying roars from the crowd rumble the stadium... Behind me, the crafty catcher adjusts his stance and spits to the dry dirt. Behind him, the staunch umpire doesn't flinch or even blink; he knows how important his call will be. The pitcher winds up, his grip tells me its gonna curve. The release is fierce! Beads of sweat from his hair and face disperse in every direction as the force of his might is unfailing. My left leg lifts—an instinctual move that will increase the power of my swing. It's all down to my two, bloodshot eyes. They lock onto the speeding, white dot as it instantly becomes the target I intend to destroy. The swing is late, but I manage a solid tip. The ball is taking a fast bounce toward the pitcher who is recovering from the almighty throw! Man on second leaves in a desperate rush! I fling the bat to the side with a sense of urgency and make a mad sprint to the only destination I have—first base. Three defenders race inward to be the first to retrieve the skidding ball. Man is almost on third! I watch the open glove of my adversary, wondering if I’ve done enough to win this race. I switch my attention to his eyes, looking for a clue, some kind of reaction that tells me the ball is in the air and heading his way. All I see is frustration. The deafening roar of the crowd spikes! Something happens that I can’t see! My opponent abandons his post right as my left stride touches the bag. I waste no time turning my head to see the pitcher laying on his stomach, pounding the mound with an open glove. He misses the opportunity to out me and the ball has quickly bounced past him. Excitement grows! This isn’t over yet... It's become an imperative fight to tag out the runner heading homeward. The catcher falls to his knees in obvious despair as he watches my teammate make the run of his life. He knows it’s going to be close when he sees the shortstop fumble the ball a second too long. I jump up and down with no plans on leaving first base. All my chips are on the speed and agility of the active runner. His cleats dig into the dirt, trailing a dust-filled cyclone from the rapid and strenuous strides. With a thrusting dive and an outstretched arm, he lands on his chest to begin the crucial slide to home plate. The shortstop fires the ball to the catcher! It immediately begins closing the gap! Nail-biting doesn't begin to describe the anxious vibe permeating the stadium. The bench begins to celebrate even before he reaches the plate. Forty thousand cheering fans reach maximum crescendo, filling the air with a glorious sound. Everyone knows how this story will end… My teammate is met by the entire bench as his fingers inch across home plate, instantly followed by the unmistakable motion of the catcher's glove attempting to tag him out—its milliseconds too late. The ump swings his arms outward, officially calling him safe.
