Iron Man to appear in Captain America 3 - (potential spoilers)

Robert Downey Jr. is all but signed up to be in the next Captain America film in 2016.

This seems to fit in with the rumor of a certain story arc that the comics covered a few years ago.






Potential Spoilers ahead -

Marvel v DC Movie Release Dates (Updated August 2014) with a new Batman v. Superman release date!

This is an updated post from last week with the biggest change being DC's heavy hitters Superman and Batman getting out of the way of Captain America 3 - see right -

So many movies coming out from Marvel and DC - lets take a look.  Obviously most of these dates are subject to change, especially movies further out.  I am uncertain of the accuracy of these dates as different web sites list different dates and some of the more official sites don't seem to be updated.

So I called it that DC would move to April or June and they are moving to March. Good call for DC.  This movie needs to be a big movie and it has to be good.

I left the original dates for the DC films but it would appear that the new untitled dates are for Shazam, Wonder Woman, etc.  So the August 2016 date is probably Shazam and June 2017 might be Wonder Woman, staying away from Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Who knows at this point but there are more films in the list and so Cyclops, Aquaman and other possibilities are there.  We could also see Justice League move away from that Marvel title so that could be now set for July 2017.

Marvel is doing everything right and DC has not.  Sure, DC has just come off a monster Batman trilogy, but that is starting to seem like ancient history now.  Marvel is even toying with (or joking about) bringing back one of their massive failures of the past and would no doubt make a success of it now!!!  Marvel will at some point screw up but nobody is thinking it is going to happen in the next few years.

DC has something to prove and they have not gotten to the point where they can boast all these untitled films and expect people to get excited.  They need to give us their Iron Man or Captain America or Avengers version for DC first, then they can talk!

Captain America vs. Batman v.s Superman

Disney is looking to move Captain America 3 away from the May 6, 2016 date as that is when Batman vs. Superman is slated for release. Despite Captain America: The Winter Soldier making loads of money, the studio would probably feel better staying away from that movie.  The head to head battle would certainly be interesting as Cap has gained a huge momentum which may only increase after the next Avengers film scheduled for 2015.

With some concern on what direction DC is going with their franchise, one could see some inherent weaknesses with Batman vs. Superman.  I guess there is no reason to pit the two franchises up against one another. Both will do will and I can't imagine one defeating the other and ruining the other's franchise.
