User blog:Spencerz/Marvel Cinema, 2014?

Marvel has been wowing us lately with it's blockbuster films, the most recent being Captain America: The First Avenger. And they are looking to continue the trend, with Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (Feb. 17), The Avengers (May 4) and The Amazing Spider-Man (July 3) scheduled for next year, and Iron Man 3 (May 3) and Thor 2 (July 26) scheduled for 2013.

But Marvel has kicked off some wild speculation about the movie schedule for 2014. Just days after Sony's announcement the The Amazing Spider-Man 2 would be released May 2, 2014, Marvel and new owner Disney announced that they would be releasing two films, one on May 16, and the other on June 27. But they were tight-lipped about which two films those would be.

One of these two spots is almost guaranteed to go to Captain America 2; with the film's existence already confirmed by its writers and Marvel, and the major success of the first film, I would be shocked if it's not assigned one of these dates.

The second release date is a complete toss-up. Major contenders at the moment include The Incredible Hulk 2, which was green-lit in '08, but moved to the back burner until after The Avengers, Dr. Strange, who's script was recently completed, The Black Panther, who has a script in the making, and Ant-Man, who's third script is supposedly completed. I personally think Dr. Strange or Black Panther will get the spot, but Marvel could shock us all with a wild card.

I'd like to hear opinions of which two movies you think will land the 2014 release dates.
