The Marvel machine is moving ahead at full strength. They have continued to promote their upcoming 2015 movies, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Ant-Man. They are also exploring the life of Peggy Carter in Agent Carter and have started promoting their next new adventure in Hell's Kitchen with Daredevil. This week also gave us news on new suits for War Machine and Falcon, updates/speculation on Marvel's Phase 3 and Spider-Man plans, confirmation on an Avenger appearing in Captain America: Civil War and how that movie will be "Avengers 3.8!"
Age of Ultron Trailer 2
Marvel debuted the second trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron during the College Football National Championship Game. It featured lots of new scenes, including the Hulk vs Hulkbuster fight. If you haven't seen the trailer, or just want to see it again, you can watch it here along with an analysis of the new footage.
Agent Carter EP 3
The life of Peggy Carter after the death of Captain America is continuing to be explored. This week episode 3 of Agent Carter debuted and maintained the good elements from the premiere. Check out our full review of EP 3.
Daredevil Law Office
Last week we got a release date and moving poster for the first exclusive Marvel show on Netflix in Daredevil. Now, Marvel has given us a small glimpse of the day job of Matthew Murdock. Hopefully this means that an actual trailer is on the horizon, especially considering we are less than 3 months away from its release.
War Machine and Falcon Getting New Looks
We have known for quite some time that Rhodey (Don Cheadle) would be in Avengers: Age of Ultron, but his role a mystery. It appears that he will have a decent amount of screen time and that he is ditching the Iron Patriot armor in favor of Mark 2 of the War Machine armor. The image above shows the new armor that Rhodey may wear this summer. He is not the only one getting some new gear. This week Anthony Mackie told Hollywood Chicago that there will be a new Falcon suit in Captain America: Civil War. "The new falcon suit is gonna be much better than the old Falcon suit; gotta rebuild," he said.
Updates on Phase 3 and Spider-Man
Marvel will finish Phase 2 of their cinematic universe this year but everyone's eyes and thoughts are on Phase 3. Dave Gonzalez of Latino-Review has laid out what he has gathered on Marvel's Phase 3 plans. I'm going to give the short version below but you can check it all out here. Obviously, if this information is true, it could be major SPOILERS for all Phase 3 movies. To avoid SPOILERS, skip this section starting now.......... Still with me? Okay. Avengers: Age of Ultron will end with two separate Avengers teams led by Captain America and Iron Man respectively, while Banner may still be launched into space. Captain America: Civil War will focus on the revelation that Bucky killed Stark's parents. It will end like the comics with Crossbones killing Cap. Doctor Strange may end with Strange becoming the new leader of Cap's Avenger team. Thor: Ragnarok will end with the imprisonment of Thor, though where that will be is a mystery. Black Panther may focus on gathering heroes together to form a new Avengers team, probably a combination of the teams. As for Avengers: Infinity War Part 1, there will be no Thor, Stark, Banner, or Cap but it will introduce SPIDER-MAN! According to their sources, the deal is basically done between Sony and Marvel. The "New Avengers" will be featured in Part 1 so that the original Avengers team can all return in Part 2.
Ant-Man Website
Marvel has launched their website for Ant-Man that features photos, trailers, and more info. Check it out at http://marvel.com/antman.
Black Widow Confirmed for Civil War
The Russo brothers are coming back to direct Captain America: Civil War. Now they have revealed that Scarlett Johansson will indeed reprise her role as Black Widow in the film. This means that she will not die in Avengers: Age of Ultron as some have speculated.
Civil War is "Avengers 3.8"
Anthony Mackie has been talking to the press a lot recently promoting an upcoming film of his. During an interview with WTTG Fox 5, Mackie called Captain America: Civil War "Avengers 3.8." After learning that Widow will return along, the movie will now feature Iron Man, Captain America, Falcon, Black Panther, and Black Widow. If it really is Avengers 3.8, expect many more announcements of heroes, such as Hawkeye, Ant-Man, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Vision, etc., appearing.
Old Friends Appearing in Agent Carter EP 5
In Captain America: The First Avenger, the Howling Commandos became fan favorite characters. With Agent Carter, Marvel has a way to bring some of those familiar faces back. They announced this week that Dum Dum Dugan and the rest of the Howling Commandos will return in EP 5 of Agent Carter, "The Iron Ceiling."
