Just like the WB suits he's not budging either
Variety's Marc Graser, who was covering the call, tweeted:
Disney will hang on to the May opening slot for Marvel's movies with Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) and Captain America 3 in 2016
— Marc Graser (@marcgraser) May 6, 2014Last month it seemed as though the Mouse House blinked in the stand-off...
The release of MOS 2 was delayed a full 10 months for a number of reasons. As a result, the original release date of July 17th 2015 is no longer doable. Thus, the studio picked the May 6th 2016 date--forcing the showdown.
They quickly inserted the fantasy Pan into that original slot.
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" helmers Joe Russo and Anthony Russo are set to return to their post for part 3 using a script by screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.
MOS 2 will see the return of Henry Cavill as Superman/Clark Kent, Affleck will play Bruce Wayne/Batman amid lots of fallout--while Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane are set to reprise their roles as Lois Lane, Perry White and Martha Kent. "Fast Five" star Gal Gadot's playing Wonder Woman
"Man Of Steel" writer David S. Goyer was back on the keyboard but now--THR reports that Chris Terrio, who won an Oscar for writing Affleck's “Argo,” has been hired to write the latest draft of the MOS 2 script for director Zack Snyder.
Goyer is in the midst of developing several projects including an adaptation of author Neil Gaiman's popular comic book series Sandman, which he’ll produce with Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
The stellar performance of 'Winter Soldier' since opening last month proves that a studio can open a superhero sequel at any time and it would be a hit....
Stay Tuned...
Iger's also seen James Gunn's film adaptation of Marvel's "Guardians Of The Galaxy" and says: "I'm not going to predict we have another 'Avengers' on our hands but that's certainly a goal."
