Ant-Man 2 + Three 2020 Marvel Films! (#120)

Wow, I seriously did not see this coming at all! I only just found out even though I think it was announced a couple hours ago, but Marvel have announced that there will be a sequel to this year's Ant-Man film called 'Ant-Man and the Wasp', as well as three completely new Marvel films coming out in 2020!

These three films haven't been given titles yet, so it's unknown whether they'll be sequels or completely new entries to the MCU. I'm both surprised and glad to hear that there's going to be an Ant-Man 2; I liked the first one but wasn't expecting a sequel since it performed pretty negatively in cinemas. Guess it just goes to show that Marvel don't put sales and money before their fans, since they're going to make another one for the people that enjoyed it! Moi, basically.

I'm not sure if it's been completely specified if these three films will be part of Phase 3 yet (Ant-Man and the Wasp has been confirmed to come out on July 6th, 2018 so it's definitely Phase 3) meaning that they could possibly be the sign of a Phase 4! However, that's not been said for sure yet so for now we can't really say much. If these are Phase 3 though, that means there are going to be FOURTEEN films in Phase 3, compared to just six in Phase 1 and 2. Wow, we have so much to look forward to!

The announcement of Ant-Man 2 means that Captain Marvel will now be releasing on March 8th 2019, while Black Panther will now be releasing on February 16th 2018. Honestly, I have no problem at all with this since we're getting all these great film announcements.

Finally, the three 2020 films will release May 1st, July 10th and November 6th. This is really, really nice. Fans speculate that these films could be Spider-Man MCU's sequel, Guardians of the Galaxy 3, and/or Dr Strange 2. We'll just have to wait and see.
