Earlier this week, Marvel announced their schedule through 2019 and it included...well, a lot of dates. So far, there are few titles actually announced, but Marvel president Kevin Feige at least has hinted at what we can expect by revealing that each year, for the next five years, will have one sequel and one original film...

You don't have to wait for Comic-Con to get your first look at Ultron, the big 'Avengers 2' villain! Marvel has released its first look at the new big bad (and his army of Ultron clones) on the cover of Entertainment Weekly.

In news that will probably baffle comic book fans and normal people alike, it was revealed that Thor (yes, the Avenger) is no longer worthy of his title and will be replaced by a woman. Yes, you are allowed to unleash a collective "What?!" right about now.

After 2003's infamous 'Hulk' and 2008's forgettable 'The Incredible Hulk,' audiences simply weren't displaying any kind of affinity for Dr. Bruce Banner and his smash-happy alter ego. But actor Mark Ruffalo and writer/director Joss Whedon finally got it right in 'The Avengers' and now, according to Ruffalo, Marvel is finally considering giving the big guy a third shot at a solo act.

After Edgar Wright left Marvel's 'Ant-Man,' the studio quickly made an offer to Adam McKay ('Anchorman'), hoping the director could help save the project. The two sides entered "advanced negotiations" but shortly thereafter, McKay decided to pass on the film. Marvel was really in a bind at this point, so they reached out to the #2 option on their shortlist, 'We're the Millers' director Rawson Thurber, with an offer. But, late yesterday came word (via The Wrap) that Thurber too has passed on the job.

Marvel's 'Ant-Man' troubles are numerous and widely reported, but one of its other upcoming movies is still on track. The studio's worst kept secret, a 'Doctor Strange' movie, is closing in on Scott Derrickson to helm the Sorcerer Supreme in a solo adventure.

Over the weekend we were distressed to learn that Marvel's Netflix 'Daredevil' series had suffered a setback in losing Drew Goddard as its showrunner, but atop Goddard's replacement with 'Spartacus' showrunner Stephen S. DeKnight, we may at last have some good news. Is 'Boardwalk Empire' star Charlie Cox officially ready to put his horns to work as Matt Murdock for Netflix's 'Daredevil' TV series? Let's find out!

It's time to start getting really excited for 'Guardians of the Galaxy.' While the past two months have brought us superhero movies like 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier,' 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' and 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' (with varying results), we mustn't forget that there's still a big one on the way in Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy' and what better way to remind yourself of this summer's other entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with this fantastic new trailer.

This weekend 'Neighbors' crushed it at the box office as it made nearly fifty million dollars and is on track to make a whole lot more. This success has raised Zac Efron's profile, which means he's now talking to Marvel. Could he be our 'Doctor Strange?'

ABC has become the next in line to divulge their fall 2014 schedules in advance of the Upfront presentation this week, and while the list leaves off any major surprises, Marvel fans would do well to learn that new series 'Agent Carter' will indeed serve as a smaller series bridge between the first and second half of 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' season 2.

We've been talking about Channing Tatum starring as Gambit, the popular X-Men character, for years and years now. Tatum even auditioned for the part in 'X-Men: The Last Stand' before the character was eventually cut from the film. But, after all that talk, it's finally confirmed: Channing Tatum will star as Gambit in an upcoming 'X-Men' spinoff movie.

It's official! Late Thursday night or no, ABC cranked out more than a few blockbuster announcements, as Marvel's 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' has officially been renewed for season 2, while fellow Marvel icon 'Agent Carter' landed her own original series with Hayley Atwell for the coming year. Celebrate the good news with the first official 'Agent Carter' TV series description right now!
