'Spider-Man' Sequel to kick off next Marvel story arc!
In 2018, there will be a total of eight movies based on Marvel Comics, released by three different studios. Marvel Studios proper will open Black Panther (2/16/18), Avengers: Infinity War (5/4/18), and Ant-Man and the Wasp (7/6/18); Sony will then have Venom (10/5/18) and their animated Spider-Man (Miles Morales) movie (12/14/18); and then Fox will haveThe New Mutants (4/13/18), Deadpool 2 (6/1/18), and X-Men: Dark Phoenix (11/2/18).
Only the first three will actually be part of the “MCU“, which will expand to include a Mahoosive 22 total movies by 2019. Earlier this week, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige revealed that 2019’s Avengers 4 (5/4/19) (the title of which is still a secret, but I think its Gauntlet) will be the end of a 22-movie arc, and that the sequel to this week’s Spider-Man: Homecoming will be the start of the next arc when it opens two months later on July 3, 2019.
Of course, we can only guess what exactly that means, but some of it is probably related to the expiring contracts of many of the original MCU stars, including Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, and Jeremy Renner, among others, so will be saying goodbye to some of our favourite heroes, but hello to a new phase.
