Predicting Marvel's Next 12 Movies Up To 2021

9. Guardians Of The Galaxy 2 (2017)

Possible Plot: Something bad goes down with Thanos, and everything comes to a head, possibly leading into The Avengers 3. Dream Casting: The first film, yet to hit cinemas, has a pretty insane cast already. Maybe they could chuck Nova into the mix, as played by Jack Huston? Why? This is both a film and a placing that's not certain, as there's no way to predict how Guardians of the Galaxy will go down critically or commercially. And if my predictions for 2016 are true, this might be too much Cosmic in too short a time. But even if the first film does poorly, it's likely a sequel will be greenlit, and it will either be in 2017 or not at all. If rumours are true, Thanos will make an appearance, or at least be a huge unseen presence, in GOTG. And for a villain of this scale, he will need a proper introduction before appearing in Avengers 3- it's likely this will be his film. And for a juggernaut like Marvel, the odd failure isn't going to bring them down (see Agents of SHIELD). If the film is a runaway hit and everyone loves it this summer, ignore everything that's been said here and just consider the absolute opposite of it. Predicted Reaction: Not a failure by any means, but probably one of the lower-grossing Marvel films. Not successful or well-received enough to ensure a third film.
