Marvel has finally dropped the first trailer for what some are dubbing Avengers 2.5. Highlights include our first glimpses of Black Panther, and Iron Man getting his butt handed to him.

The Marvel movies are very formulaic - however, I like the formula. I'll be watching this movie when it comes out.
I wonder how many more movies we are going to see with this crew? (I hope to see a lot more - I think the cast is perfect for the parts)
I was worried this was another Avengers but I'm impressed. It feels like Winter Soldier. The best Marvel movie to date IMO.
Jessica Jones is quickly topping that. Loving this series.
Not many more, if any. Robert Downey has made no secret of the fact that he wants to step away from Tony Stark and Chris Evans has said he wants to get away from acting entirely and direct and Marvel is apparently on board with that. Having Captain America kill Tony Stark in the Civil War would certainly accomplish both those things.
But considering Marvel have been colossal pussies about killing "good" characters off in the movies that might be wishful thinking.

Yeah, Avengers 2.5 sounds appropriate, saw the Black Panther in there (I believe), so they're pimping that movie next. I am curious though, the comic story line on this was basically every Marvel character picking sides, including mutants and what not, but they don't have the rights to everyone, so I guess they roll with what they have.

Omg the bad CGI motion fighting in that trailer. Getting really tired of it and the weirdly unnatural too-quick jumps and rebounds associated with it. Hopefully the story overcomes it and reinstates the suspension of disbelief that is required.

Agreed. I loved seeing Cap and Bucky pound Iron Man in the trailer.They're going to have to seriously pare down the plot line,considering the size and scope of the source material,never really cared for the Civil War arc. It just cemented my dislike for the Tony Stark character,an alcoholic control freak with real ego problems
I don't think there will be very many more. From what I recall there is only the stand alone Thor movie for Thor, then you have Avengers 3 part 2. Everything else is new people. Avengers 3 part 1 is actually going to have all the new people getting their asses kick. Then in part 2 the orginal crew comes back together one last time to save the day and put their differences from Civil War aside.
Actually I'm hoping it's another avengers. IMO CA movies are ranked below Iron man, thor and Avengers.
PhrasingAgreed. I loved seeing Cap and Bucky pound Iron Man in the trailer.
I think peak superhero has been hit. When the movies become a convoluted as the comics or too numerous to reach a finale, they'll lose people and/or people will just binge watch the box set.
We've hit peak superhero and Whedon eventually starts to suck when he get bored and/or runs out of ideas rather than ending on a high note.

The book was WAY better than the movie....
I think we're getting close to that. I love superhero movies, so I've liked some of the bad ones (Superman Returns, Daredevil, Superman 4...). Even though these new Marvel movies are action packed, they aren't going to last forever. The twists, the overall plot, the characters - they are going to get stale. I love them, but I wonder about everyone else. Are they going to remain general audience awesome while still satisfying the nerds? Or are they going to sell out (Michael Bay style) and make an action movie while disappointing the nerds? Or are they going to appease the nerds but alienate the general audience? I'm hoping the first one. But, it's still a long lineup, and I know some people are already getting tired of the same characters and the "Same shit, different day" plotline.
Captain America: Out Of Ideas
The Civil War is the start to Phase 3 which includes in this order...
Captain America: Civil War
Doctor Strange
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Untitled Spider-Man film
Thor: Ragnarok
Black Panther
Avengers: Infinity War Part 1
Ant-Man and the Wasp
Captain Marvel
Avengers: Infinity War Part 2
Inhumans
I wish the trailer weren't so long, gives away too much of the plot and my penis can only get so hard.
Yeah, hopefully you can avoid trailers until next year for the movie, the Avengers 2 movie did that for me with it's sneak preview trailer too with the Hulkbuster armor, the trailer had me going "Awesome!!!!!" in the movie I was like "oh here's where he gets his armor and fights the Hulk" now if I didn't know that was coming I would have been in the movie theaters going "OOOOOH FUCK HULKBUSTER!@!!!!!!" jumping out of my seat taking pictures of the screen with my cell phone, calling people telling them "I JUST SAW HULKBUSTER ARMOR!!!"
ok maybe not that extreme, but it would have made more of an impact.
They just started shooting with Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Strange.I've been waiting for a good Dr. Strange movie for over 40 years now....
I've learned not to get my hopes up.

Getting a little burned out on all these comic book movies. Looks like nothing else can get greenlighted in Hollywood unless it is a sequel or a comic book.
