At a special presentation at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood Tuesday, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige gave press and several hundred fans some insight into the studio’s plans for their huge superhero movie slate.

It was a dizzying parade of news, announcing new titles like Black Panther and Inhumans, plus two moreAvengers films. The studio released completely plans for phase 3.

Marvel revealed the title for the next Captain Americafilm, it’s Captain America: Civil War, and the nextThor film: Thor 3: Ragnarok, slated for July 28, 2017.

Marvel also pushed the release of Doctor Strange to November 4, 2016.

Black Panther will hit theaters on November 3, 2017, starring 42 and Get on Up star Chadwick Boseman.

Feige announced that the studio will make a Captain Marvel film, set for July 6, 2018. Carol Danvers is Captain Marvel, making it the studio’s first female-centered film.

Marvel will also make an Inhumans film, set for Nov. 2, 2018.

Two more ensemble Avengers films were also dated: Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 for May 4, 2018 and Part 2  for May 2019.

Doctor Strange has been originally dated for July 8, 2016, but director Scott Derrickson and Marvel have been going back and forth with finding a leading man. After negotiations with Joaquin Phoenix fell apart in early October, Benedict Cumberbatch came into talks to take on the titular role.
