Marvel Studios Announces First Female And Black Solo Superhero Films

Finally Black Panther and Captain Marvel are arriving in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — as well as Inhumans and Avengers: Infinity War . But Hulk and Black Widow are apparently not getting their own stand-alone movies any time soon.

LOS ANGELES — In a splashy media and fan event on Tuesday, Marvel Studios announced several new films to its expanding slate of comic book movies. Studio chief Kevin Feige announced the studio's first black superhero movie, Black Panther, opening Nov. 3, 2017 — and that the title character will be played by Chadwick Boseman (42, Get On Up). In a press conference following the event, Feige also clarified that the character, also know as T'Challa, would be "a big part" of the third Captain America film, Captain America: Civil War — which will also feature Robert Downey Jr., who appeared on stage with Chris Evans and Boseman during the event to a huge ovation from the assembled fans.


Marvel will also debut its first female superhero movie, Captain Marvel, on July 6, 2018 — although the studio made no mention of which actor will play the role, which Feige clarified is Carol Danvers (as several people have worn the mantle of Captain Marvel in the comic books). And Marvel Studios will debut the sci-fi fantasy saga Inhumans on Nov. 2, 2018.


Before bringing Evans, Downey, and Boseman on stage, Feige teased the Civil War plot by screening a scene from Age of Ultron in which Steve Rogers and Tony Stark debate the meaning of security and secrets while chopping wood. It ends with Rogers ripping apart a log of wood with his bare hands, staring down Stark, and saying, "Every time someone tries to win a war before it starts, innocent people die — every time."
