#Marvel from now to 2019 #SDCC


Marvel Studios
Marvel Studios and Disney are at it again by staking their claim to several dates running all the way to 2019. 
Below are the dates of all the movies Marvel currently have dated.
  • August 1, 2014 – Guardians of the Galaxy
  • May 1, 2015 – Avengers: Age Of Ultron
  • July 17, 2015 – Ant-Man
  • May 6, 2016 – Captain America 3
  • July 8, 2016 - Untitled Film
  • May 5, 2017 - Untitled Film
  • July 28, 2017 - Untitled Film
  • November 3, 2017 - Untitled Film
  • July 6, 2018 - Untitled Film
  • November 2, 2018 - Untitled Film
  • May 3, 2019 - Untitled Film
Following the current cycle Avengers 3 would likely be a July 6, 2018 release, with Doctor Strange seemingly a lock we can chalking off July 8, 2016 as a pretty safe bet. With those dates now eliminated that leaves five open remaining.
How many they will reveal at Comic-Con is unknown, but you better believe I will be waiting anxiously to hear....

What's Different About Canada - epic tumblr account you need to follow!!

http://whatsdifferentincanada.tumblr.com/

You need to see this tumblr site - epic... I submitted some posts which I hope to see featured soon but all my friends who tease me about my Canadian ways... well, you will love this site as much as I do!!



Tim Hortons (“Timmies”) is the Canadian version of Dunkin Donuts. Its history is so Canadian it’s named after hockey player Tim Horton - the apostrophe was dropped so the name makes more sense in Quebec. They are finally making their way into the states, but have been in US border cities like Rochester for a while. The most common order is a “double double,” that is, a coffee with two milks and two sugars.

When ordering toast at a Canadian restaurant, you will be asked if you want “white or brown toast?” Don’t be alarmed, “brown toast” is actually whole wheat toast.

In the US, “Smarties” is a chalky, tart, stackable candy that comes in little plastic wrappers. (This candy is called “Rockets” north of the border.) In Canada, Smarties are candy-coated chocolates - sort of like unlabeled M&Ms that come in dark blue boxes.



It’s a common trope that Canadians are polite, but the quintessential Canadian experience is when you bump into somebody, it’s clearly your fault, and they apologize to you. It is part of a complex national identity that is sometimes self-deprecating, other times passive-aggressive, and cannot be reconciled with a single word. But in general, Canadians are a polite and apologetic people, and sorry (“SORE-ee”) is the sound of being in Canada.

In the summer of 2008, Marvel produced the summer blockbuster movies “Iron Man” and “The Incredible Hulk.” “Iron Man,” in which Robert Downey Jr. originally dons the Super Hero’s powerful armor and stars alongside co-stars Terrence Howard, Jeff Bridges, Shaun Toub and Gwyneth Paltrow, was released May 2, 2008, and was an immediate box office success. Garnering the number one position for two weeks in a row, the film brought in over $100 million in its opening weekend. On June 13, 2008, Marvel released “The Incredible Hulk,” marking its second number one opener of that summer.
