Marvel Makes Some Phase 2 Announcements

Today Disney and Marvel have announced that both Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World will be released in 3D, I guess no one should be surprised by that news. However the studio did not say that the other Marvel Phase 2 movies would be in 3D. These include Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Ant-Man.

Now in a bit of unexpected related news Marvel Studios have announced a November 6, 2015 release date for Edgar Wright’s Ant-Man. It joins The Avengers 2 (May 1, 2015) as the second film of that year. I bet many will find it odd that Marvel is setting up the film after Avengers 2. Does this mean the Hank Pym could make his debut in Avengers 2 before being spun-off into his own film? Would Ant-Man actually be considered part of Phase 3? And why are they are targeting a late fall release as opposed to the usual summer tent pole release for the film?

The only details about the film known is that Edgar Wright is directing and he co-wrote a script with Joe Cornish that everyone is “really happy with”. He made a test reel for the film that premiered at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con.
