It's likely going to be delayed for a few weeks while they have some room to breathe with all the contracts going on.
I could see them starting production well after AoU shatters box office records.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Don't know how much of a difference it would make, but I'm glad this isn't Iron Man 4. Seems like they're hitting the nail on the head.

They really have nailed the character development across these films for Cap and Iron Man, even if it is in slightly broad strokes.
They're both going to be incredibly different characters to the ones in First Avenger and IM1 by the time Civil War comes out.

Not liking what I'm reading about cap3. Civil war storyline, to me, sounds really stupid. I don't the want superheroes fighting with each other.

The sad thing is that there's like 20 super brings in the world right now. So it wouldn't had to scale of Civil War.

I REALLY want to see superheroes fight each other. Those were my favorite parts of Anvengers 1. They need to make sure it happens for the right reasons but I have confidence in them.

Avengers was about 45% the heroes fighting each other. And it wont be like the comics.

I guess I just like seeing them all team up and kicking butt. Lol It was cool in Avengers 1 when they first met and they were fighting but, I thought since they learned how to work together they wouldn't be fighting with each other anymore, well besides the hulk going crazy now and then. Lol
Superheroes fighting each other before they take on the bad guys is pretty much a Marvel trope.

The problem I have with Civil War, and having the heroes fight one another, is that it kind of feels like they're skipping over everyone actually being friends and getting along.
About 75% of the first Avengers movie is everyone arguing all the time and not getting along. Then you've got Age of Ultron which, from the trailers and various plot details, sounds like is going to have a large portion of it dedicated to in-fighting amongst the team and Tony fucking up hard in creating Ultron. And now Civil War.
I guess it would just be nice to have a film where the heroes are actually bros.

I think if they were two regular people, Tony and Steve probably would be bros. It's just their ideologies and the position they're in makes that impossible.

Tony needs someone like Steve on his life. A good role model.
I disagree. There are friends within the group but they don't get along as a whole all the time. Captain America has Black Widow, Iron Man has Banner, and Thor is a little left out as far as close Avengers go but he also doesn't really deal with the others too much.

yeah...thats gonna make a billion dollars.
Seriously Captain America Iron Man alone already assured this being a hit but adding Black Panther and the hype of Spider-Man showing up? I wouldn't be surprised if this movie did Avenger numbers.

If this thing *only* does Avengers numbers it's gonna be a disappointment.
1.6-1.8 Billion.
I'm calling it.
Speaking of which, I think I'll lose it if they have a poster with all 4 of them.

Avengers was $1.5 billion. If Civil War did Avengers numbers, that would be incredible.
Idk I'm expecting something like 800 mil- 1.4 billion.
Since Iron Man is in this, I dont think that at least Iron Man 3 boxoffice numbers are to far fetched.

I realize that, yes.
But really come on now.
Spider-Man, Black Panther, Iron Man, AND Cap in the same film, filled with glorious action scenes, and it's essentially Avenges 2.5?
The writing is on the wall for this to be a monster hit
If the movie is genuinely fantastic? There's no telling where it can't end when all is said and done.
I'm honestly more excited for this movie atm than Avengers 2 lol I can't wait to see the Russo's pull this off.

I think it'll make a lot of money, but I don't think Civil War "only" doing Avengers numbers will be seen as a disappointment.
That's such an odd prediction if the hype of Civil War and Spider-man is anything to go by people are ravenous for more Marvel movies.
We've been hearing that for like a decade now.
The MCU has been going on for 7 years now with multiple movies released each year and just now people are going to get fatigued? I guess if AoU sucks then yeah, I can see it, but momentum doesn't look to be slowing down any - especially considering what GotG just managed to do.
Have you seen the hype behind Phase 3?

One good Ant-Man trailer and the hype meter will blow up again. Nothing stops this train.jpg
I'm fatigued that you're fatigued about people talking about CBM fatigue.
/Marvel Spidey, Black Superhero and 2 superheroine films are coming and of course, JLA and Infinity War.
Obviously what we need is a new TV show similar to Dexter's Lab's Justice Friends. With Marvel Characters.

Spiderman. RDJ Iron Man. And Cap. Respectfully as possible, you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about man.
One post-credits scene with a teen getting bit by a radioactive spider and it won't even matter how Ant-Man turns out.
Brand Fatigue won't really set in until Marvel releases a couple of duds. With the amount of money invested going forward I don't think they will let it happen. What I do see as an issue, is if they'll bother making more movies once infinity war is finished.
As this is a Civil War thread - I'll admit to being uncertain about how effective a film it can be. The comic version was told over the course of a year with dozens of comics included. How many more characters will really be around in the Marvel cinematic universe by then and how many of those will be fighting for screen time ?
Avengers 2 - Probably a sure thing at this point. Status Quo will be maintained. Box office prediction - 1 Billion + (70% from overseas)
Ant Man - A guilty pleasure spin-off, will neither tarnish nor excel the brand. Box office prediction - 350 million (50/50 split WW/NA)
Cap 3 Civil War - Uncertainty , if it's actually really good I suspect it will be on par with Cap 2's gross. 600 million + (60% overseas)
Dr Strange - A smaller film , the character isn't as well known and in the sea of competition I suspect it will get lost. Probably a safe failure though, if they lose a bit on this one it won't effect the larger whole. 250 million (50/50 split)
Guardians of the Galaxy 2 - I see great things here, guardians 1 was basically a nicely built fan version of star wars and I suspect the sequel will continue that trend. People really liked the first one and I think the second one will outdo it. It's lack of "super heroes" will save it from any kind of stagnation. 700 million + (60% overseas)
NEW spiderman film - this is going to get 2 years of promotion , not to mention the possible appearance in Civil War and I think it will be the biggest spiderman has ever been. 1 billion (65% overseas)
Thor 3 - I can see it maintaining the quality of the other 2 thor films, nothing more. 500 million (60% worldwide)
Black Panther and Captain Marvel - of anything that's been announced I'd be most worried about these getting cancelled. Word on the street is that , thanks to spiderman a handful of the newer properties got pushed back. Right now Avengers 3 is due out before either of these films but you'd think marvel would want to introduce these characters more formally to include them in the infinity war wouldn't you ? If they do make it out I'm thinking 300-400 million each worldwide.
Avengers Infinity war parts 1/2 - This one is a pretty safe bet, it will be made no matter what. The scope of who ends up being included in it is what could change. I'm thinking it will earn 2 billion world wide (between both films)
Finaly, The inhumans - this may be saved for post avengers 3 has a way to reboot the marvel universe. Or, much like black panther and captain marvel it could end up in limbo. If anything, since black panther is due to appear in civil war , perhaps his movie should still come out and captain marvel get's a delay until post avengers 3.
This way, marvel could make a NEW avengers with a different cast. Maybe toss out a she hulk film ?

Yeah, no.
It's not like they cast Will Wheaton in this or something.
Well they are more than a month apart in terms of release date. Don't see it making any difference tbh.
I can see them dropping Captain America from the title in the overseas areas like they have done in some areas before. I think it will do a billion easily, probably more.
I doubt either of the two will get canned. They'll likely plant the seeds around now and their release. Plus, people have been clamoring for something different. Strange is the interesting one but it'll likely involve a Gem so it'll be a key film leading to Infinity. Carol/T'Challa need to be in the MCU because Marvel will need new heroes once Hemsworth/Downey/Evans finish off their contracts.
