In the midst of all the news about JJ Abrams and Star Wars, this piece of movie news may have passed you by:
‘Doctor Strange,’ which I’ve been talking about for years, is definitely one of [the Phase Two movies]. He’s a great, original character, and he checks the box off this criteria that I have: he’s totally different from anything else we have, just like ‘Guardians of the Galaxy.’ He’s totally different from anything we’ve done before, as is ‘Ant-Man,’ which keeps us excited.
That’s Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige confirming to MTV Splash Page that Doctor Strange will be part of the next cycle of Marvel movies, along with Ant-Man. So, that makes Phase Two Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of The Galaxy, Ant-Man, Doctor Strange and Avengers 2… That we know of, anyway.

I’m pretty sure that Splash Page article is confirming Ant-Man and Dr Strange as Phase THREE movies, not Phase Two.
“the world will finally see Edgar Wright’s “Ant-Man,” long-rumored but now on the fast-track towards reality as the official start of Phase Three.”
Avengers 2 ends Phase 2, so anything released after Summer 2015 (Ant-Man, Dr Strange) would be a Phase 3 film.

Graeme got something wrong?! Shocking!

And if Graeme actually acknowledges the mistake and edits the post, I will be amazed.

I thought it was firmly established the Graeme contributes the same kind of repeated news to so many other blogs that he doesn’t care.
