Uhhh, was Doctor Strange actually confirmed to be in writing stages? I thought the director and original writer said what they wanted to do, not that they were doing it.
I mean, i agree it is probably a 2020 film and is quietly being worked on in the background, but what's the source on confirmation

Doctor Strange did modestly well at the box office and seems to be a big part of Infinity War. Unless they're surprising everyone by killing him off in one of these movies, there's no way Strange isn't getting a sequel. It'd be the only MCU movie other than Hulk to not get a sequel, and Hulk is only not getting a sequel because of red tape reasons.
Doctor Strange 2 being written right now is basically common sense.
Black Panther. Homecoming. Civil War. Avengers.
Homecoming vs. Ragnarok feels like it's gonna be really tight.

Right, I'm not disputing that. But (besides Spider-Man) only James Gunn flat out said Guardians 3 is in development right now. I don't think Strange was ever officially announced or mentioned as worked on in a major news website like Widow.
Cargill says the villain isn't Mordo:

Right, but even the article (and more specifically the source) mention they haven't officially been called in yet. That's just what they would like to do.
More awesome art:
holy shit promotional art where the masked characters are actually wearing their masks
how refreshing!
It was also made on about 1/5-1/6 of your average Marvel Studios budget, and I don't think anyone can really say it would have benefited from a nine-figure budget.
I'm not saying they can't make a $170m Black Widow film work, but as a solo character, I've never envisioned her being particularly well-suited to big, pyrotechnic-laden setpieces with vehicles crashing and buildings exploding left and right. Which means I'm still not convinced that a BW solo film will actually happen, at least not necessarily in the form that people might expect.
I keep thinking the Black Widow movie isn't actually a solo film, but the female Avengers ensemble they were talking about last year. Or at the very least, some kind of team up with 1 or 2 other heroes.
Save for new characters, Marvel seems to be steering away from purely solo films.

More awesome art:
Reminds me of that first piece of Guardians concept art.
Time flies.

More Ryan Meinerding art is always a blessing.
I don't know anyone expecting her movie to have any of those things, though.
Everyone pulling for the film to happen just wants a good old spy film.
That it is. Glad to say I know the guy.
We brought him back home for a comic con a couple years back. One of the first comic cons he ever did :)
Was she supposed to do Spider-Man? I assume she's working with Coogler again on Wrong Answer, though I don't know when that starts.
Sites were claiming yesterday that she signed on to Spider-Man.
Exactly.
Not every MCU film needs to be a $170m blockbuster with CGI cities exploding. There's room for a bit of everything.
I'm actually interested for a Widow film. The tone should be similar to Winter Soldier. She is ballsy as fuck and there's a lot of potential in that character. I want her to lead the Secret Avengers. Won't happen but that's my wish.
Pyrotechnic-heavy spectacle pretty much comes with the package when you're working with a $150-200m budget.
If Marvel Studios is willing to make a film with a $30-70m budget, I'd be all for that, but it'd be a pretty drastic change from how they've gone about things up to this point. It's actually possible that this could change, though, especially with the Disney proprietary streaming service opening up a new avenue for mid-budget films from the studio (though as of yet, there's been no word of Marvel or Star Wars films for the platform, just TV series).
Except that at least up to this point, they kinda do. Why do you think Feige et al. were willing to give up the rights to their most popular street-level characters, if not that they have (or had, as of 2013) no interest in making mid-budget films?

That is beautiful. Would post it on my wall and not be embarrassed by it. I'm so amazed at the MCU and how it keeps going and getting better. To go from uncertainty to being able to turn GOTG, Strange and Black Panther into household names is so amazing.
I really hope that one of the 2021 movies is a modern-day Captain Marvel sequel that introduces Kamala Khan as her sidekick, if not a Kamala solo film. It would just be so incredible. It would also lead very well into a Captain Marvel/Ms Marvel/Valkyrie/Black Widow/Scarlet Witch team-up film, if they actually want to do a female Avengers type thing, though I don't know what the plot reason for that would be.
Does anyone else miss the old bulky Iron Man armors? With the weighty and bulky look feel and sound.
At this point, they kinda have, but that doesn't mean that it's set in stone for all future releases.
I mean, that's presumably one of the reasons they never did a BW solo film in the first place. Now that they're exploring the idea, it stands to reason that they may have revised their plan. Especially with the success of Fox stuff like Deadpool and Logan. Properties they'll also be controlling soon.
I honestly think they'd try to do Kamala as a FreeForm series or something, just because that book was INSANELY popular with that target age. It'll also fit in with New Warriors and Cloak & Dagger on the channel. They could even do a Champions crossover with those characters.

You're making an awful lot of assumptions, especially given you've pointed out yourself how some things have changed since the MCU's beginning.
While I loved GotG I wish it was closer to this. Gamora is so far away from her comicbook-self in the movieReminds me of that first piece of Guardians concept art.
Time flies.
I do for sure. I loved when the suits were more practical and had more weight to them. I still think the Avengers Mark 6 or 7 is my favorite.
Yes. And they've just said his absence from the marketing will make sense when we've seen the film. Also, they've cut out somebody's backstory in the final film.
This was an easy Iron Man vote for me and thought it'd be 50-50, then I saw the results. Folks... respect your classics
I can respect Iron Man while still acknowledging that Civil War is tenfold the movie IM is.
