Im your host Tatiana Carrier with the latest on the battle that ensues for that 2014 release date!
.
Marvel previously announced its upcoming release schedule that included 2013 releases for Iron Man 3 and Thor 2, but also included release dates in 2014 for two as of yet named films. It's looking more and more like Captain America 2 will be sliding into the coveted Summer release slot
of May 16th, but which film will take the April 4th, 2014 release date remains a mystery. Marvel has been so happy with the success of their A list superheroes on the big screen, it's likely they will use that slot to launch a potential franchise of one of their lesser known heroes. One of those Marvel B list superhero could be Doctor Strange, which recently had its script completed by Thomas Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer who penned last year's Conan the Barbarian.
.
For those of you not aware of the story line, Doctor Strange centres around a New York surgeon, who stops running his practice after suffering injuries in a car crash. He then becomes a drifter and heads to the Himalayas, where he meets a healer and discovers that he has a great psychic power to fight against evil. Doctor Strange boasts powers that includes telepathy, teleportation and energy and astral projection.
.
Another possibility to fill that April 4th date could be the much talked about 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' movie. This might be a more realistic possibility as it would potentially feature characters movie audiences are already familiar with, including Samuel Jackson's "Nick Fury", Scarlett Johansson's "Black Widow" and Jeremy Renner's "Hawkeye". Neal McDonnough, who played "Dum Dum Dugan" in Captain America: The First Avenger recently spoke to IMDB Television about a possible Captain America sequel saying, "as soon as Thor has wrapped, they'll do Cap 2. Hopefully right after that, we'll jump into Nick Fury because that's the one I'm looking forward to more than anything." So not only does it look like a S.H.I.E.L.D. movie is possible, it may go into production early next year, easily giving it time to make that April 4th release date.
.
Of course, Marvel could completely change things up and go with one of their other properties, including standalone Black Widow or Hawkeye film or even Ant-Man, The Inhumans or Guardians of the Galaxy. So who do you guys think will win the 2014 release battle and which comic book hero would you rather see on the big screen? Im thinking Sheild, but lets see what you guys think so make sure you sound off below! Thanks so much for watching! We will catch you next time!
I think the 2014 releases are Amazing Spiderman 2 and Captain America 2
