10 Reasons To Be Excited For Marvel Phase Three

10. The Right People Are In Charge

It’s a shame that Joss Whedon has decided to call it on his time with Marvel as it cannot be ignored how huge an influence he was in bringing the cinematic universe to full fruition. He not only accomplished something critics said couldn’t be done, but he did it with considerable ease – Zack Snyder will no doubt be taking notes.

Alas, all good things must come to an end and it’s time for someone else to take over the reins and guide Marvel to the next level, and that’s where the Russo Brothers come in.

With all the explosions and fight scenes that come hand in hand with a superhero film, there’s a risk that Marvel will fall back into the mindless Michael Bay style of shooting, focusing on special effects over storyline. Very fortunately for fans, that is not how the Russo Brothers do business.

They did a terrific job with Captain America: Winter Soldier, with their fight scenes standing out as some of the best and most consistent in any Marvel film. Many complimented their decision to avoid special effects when necessary, and rather than following the standard action film routine with quick editing and moving camera shots, they opted for longer, more physical action scenes hoping to achieve a more visceral and dangerous feel.
