After Edgar Wright showed test footage of proposed special effects from\u00a0Ant-Man <\/strong>at San Diego Comic Con 2012, the world underwent months of speculation as to whether or not \u00a0<\/strong>might sneak the film in before Avengers 2<\/strong>. Unfortunately, \u00a0Deadline<\/a>‘s\u00a0review of an updated Disney release slate announced today put an end to the guessing. No,\u00a0Ant-Man will not be part of Phase II, it will be the first part of Marvel’s Phase III, with a release date of November 6, 2015, a little over six months after Avengers 2’s\u00a0<\/strong>release date of May 1, 2015.<\/p>\n

Rumor had it<\/a> that production on\u00a0Ant-Man<\/strong>\u00a0would begin after Wright wrapped up\u00a0The World’s End<\/strong>, perhaps as soon as early next year. The release date might put this rumor in doubt, as typically even the most effect heavy films don’t take over two years to make.<\/p>\n

Another thing to consider is that if Marvel sticks to it’s strict two movies per year development plan, this means 2015 is all sewn up with Avengers 2\u00a0<\/strong>and Ant-Man. <\/strong>If we are going to see a Black Panther<\/strong> film, a Hawkeye\/Black Widow<\/strong> spin-off, or a solo Mark Ruffalo Hulk<\/strong> film, the earliest we’d see any of these would be 2016. Probably later, because sequels from existing film franchises will also need to be put into the mix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Those of you who were hoping that Ant-Man would square off against Thanos in Avengers 2 are going to be disappointed. <\/div>\n
