Well, now we know what film Marvel has in store for the first weekend in May 2016 - the very weekend DC & Warners delayed Batman vs. Superman for a year to release on -

It's Captain America 3.

Kevin Feige says Marvel has no plans to blink on the face-off.

My guess - DC & Warners blink first, and move it a few weeks later.

you might just be correct, i'll post the site if need be, but already rumored by a brazilian website that those cowards over at WB are going to move Batman v. Superman out of the fight with Cap 3 to a date a few weeks prior to Cap 3 opening ..

I have a theory that Marvel has big plans for Cap3.

I'm thinking they are going to use Cap 3 to introduce Black Panther instead of giving him a solo movie . And include other characters as well. making it a mini avengers movie.

great minds think a like lol.. I am sure Marvel will introduce T'Challa, perhaps even other Avengers/possible Avengers to set up Avengers 3

Doubt it. WB already knew Marvel/Disney was going to have a movie on that date. It's no real surprise. I can see both movies opening on the same date, even though that's bad for the box office.

Yeah but that'll be much worse for WB. They can't afford to lose any box office on their 1 DC project they're doing every few years. Whilst Marvel can easily afford to take a little hit for the OW of CA3.

It is a surprise, because to us fans the posturing couldn't be more blatant. Marvel Entertainment/Marvel Studios has practically owned the first weekend in May slot since opening Spider Man & X-Men 2 there, in 2002 & 2003 respectfully. When Captain America 3 opens there in 2016, it will make ten straight years they have opened a movie in that slot.

Did all this really happen just because Disney moved up Ant-Man from Nov. 2015 to late July 2015, right smack against Batman vs. Superman in the slot Christopher Nolan made so lucrative for the studio? Now it's a ***-for-tat game of chicken.

Forbes reasons DC & Warners has the most to lose in this standoff.

i agree however, i think marvel's downfall might be Guardians of the Galaxy whereas Cap 3 will be very very successful as I think

Spoiler:
Evans dies and Winter Soldier becomes Cap

I agree, WB has more to lose, but I just don't see them moving again. That would be their second time. Or third. And if they do move that would make WB look bad. You could be right, though/

Here's the thing though, Marvel can have Cap flop and it's no real problem as they have money to spare. Furthermore, Cap is a B-lister so having him flop against two A-listers isn't a big deal plus Marvel already has a proven record a flop won't ruin their universe.

BvS, however, needs to pull in huge money. While it would undoubtedly slaughter Cap when it comes to the boxoffice, it needs to pull in numbers close to or above a billion. If the two biggest heroes in the world together can't pull a billion than how will DC profitize their lesser properties like Flash and GL. WB has put all their eggs into this basket for this movie, for Marvel it's just another movie in their already well established franchise.

Evans has like a six picture deal with Marvel. He'll be sticking around for a while, I'd guess.

Evans said he might quit acting for awhile to direct his own movies.

Cap 1
Avengers
Thor 2 (Marvel counts cameos as part of the deal)
Cap 2
Avengers 2
Cap 3

That's already 6.

correct cameos do not count

WB is always making you shake your head. A lack of non-Batman/Superman films, a lack of agreeable casting choices, and now a lack of common sense on release dates. Why would WB release their most important movie on the same day of a major Marvel film? I hear CA2 is really good. If that's the case, CA3 could ride on Avengers 2 and CA3 and do better than expected, even with Batman/Superman releasing on the same day. There is no need for WB to do this. Just release the movie in June/July.

It's called extra press to get people in the seats. It makes people more aware of whats to come. Same with the wild castings they did. However, most of them make sense.

Batman and Superman in the same movie is all the press you need. Wild castings are unnecessary.

Because he isn't as popular as character like Superman, Batman, or Spider-Man. I really only consider around half a dozen character to be A-listers. Cap isn't one of them.

I guess he isn't when it comes to the average cinema goer

but your wrong if its more to do with comics in general

also this is the Marvel vs DC situation at the moment with Cap 3 & Superman/Batman

Fair enough. And yeah, I was referring to the GA.
