/Film editor-in-chief Peter Sciretta leads this bonus episode of the /Filmcast to chat about the future of the Marvel movie universe. He’s joined by /Film writer Germain Lussier as well as Totally Rad Show host Jeff Cannata.

Marvel Entertainment head Kevin Feige has said that Marvel has mapped out a plan leading towards their next big event film in 2015, which everyone assumes is The Avengers 2. Peter, Jeff, and Germain talk about the after effects of The Avengers, who was the guy in the end credits, what we can expect from the upcoming sequels: Iron Man 3, Thor 2, and Captain America 2, how this might all lead to a big screen adaptation of the Infinity Gauntlet or Civil War comic storylines, how the Guardians of the Galaxy might come into play, if we’ll see another Hulk film or a Bucky solo adaptation The Winter Soldier, when we’ll finally get Edgar Wright’s Ant-Man or a big screen Doctor Strange, what Disney Animation Studios might be planning to do in the Marvel Universe, the rights issues which prevent the Skrulls from appearing in the Marvel Universe and rides/attractions based on Marvel superheroes in Disney World, The Runaways, Power Pack, and much much more.
