It's no secret that Marvel's The Avengers was a boxoffice smash, a worldwide hit and yes even with as unique as it is (for the most part) it does have it's flaws. Phase 2 as we all know are the following: Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Solider, Guardians of the Galaxy and Antman. Okay, that last one is a bit weak in my opinion but it is a decent set up for The Avengers 2. Pretty much everyone on here has the idea that Thanos is the villain in the sequel, which I'm sure we're all right. But, after the cosmic movies are done, what would be Avengers 3? In my opinion, I agree with Keven Feige. I think Avengers 3 would be a good time to use the Civil War storyline as the basis of the film.
Take the time while you read this article and think about it, Avengers set up for a cosmic universe which leads to Thanos which is possibly and logically the villain for Avengers 2. After Avengers 2, there should only be one storyline for Avengers 3, the Civil War. What could be more perfect that screams EPIC, than a finale that could be Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 but for superheros? My idea is to have more movies than phase's 1 and 2 as the build up for Avengers 3. No more Iron Man movies, but have him appear in maybe Captain America 3 or maybe have Captain America appear in Black Panther. But throw out more movies, have more characters exposed and after you have the films, then start the production and marketing for Civil War. Don't call it Avengers 3, though. They should title it, Marvel's Civil War. The entire marketing should have fans excited and the casual movie goers split between Captain America and Iron Man. There is no storyline more fit, in my opinion. Also, if Marvel is seriously considering having Spider-Man as part of their universe, have The Amazing Spider-Man trilogy end then have him be part of the build up cause Spider-Man is a major character in the Civil War.
Alot of people may ask the following "If Civil War could work, who would be best fit for the directors chair"? For me it's simple, bring back Joss Whedon one last time. Have him not only direct but also write and MAYBE have him help produce. Cause if done right, this COULD be one of the most anticipated and biggest films of all time.
