Marvel Studios
Within the past few minutes, Marvel Studios wrapped up their presentation at Comic-Con in San Diego. According to media in attendance, there was quite a bit of footage for Avengers: Age of Ultron shown to go along with the Ant-Man casting news that preceded it. And while there were not any major announcements about future films like Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel or anything into what could be considered Phase 3 of their Marvel Cinematic Universe, they did confirm one project’s release date: Guardians of the Galaxy 2.
In a pre-recorded video announcement from London, director James Gunn and actor Chris Pratt confirmed that Guardians 2 would hit theaters on July 28, 2017. This confirms the rumors from earlier in the week that James Gunn would be back to write and direct the sequel. Even though the first movie hasn’t hit theaters, Marvel and Disney appear to have more than enough confidence to greenlight a sequel. Based on early reviews, Guardians will more than likely have no problem delighting fans as the Marvel train rolls on.
In the mean time, the rumor mill continues to churn for other Marvel projects…
