This is pretty much what I expect as well.    
 

Multiple trades confirmed Pratt being in the movie, so it’s more than just rumors at this point.

Yes, Pratt is confirmed...but I'm not sure about all the rest, that's all I was saying... 

 

It's the MCU.  Wouldn't be surprised to see some whackadoodle universe-stream jump where the two Chris's just end up together for a bit... like the Hulk pairing... the whole MCU will be moving into the multiverse more, we know...  I'm even wondering if Bale's character, whoever he's playing, is someone from another 'verse.  ...Perhaps the guy that controls all that...

Smart. The previous schedule was too cramped for the expected scale of these movies. Moving this to May, BP2 to July and CM2 to November gives some breathing room. 

DS2 and Thor4 are still pretty close though.

I hope they start with 5 movies a year in 2023 or 2022. Otherwise it just won’t be possible to have a decent sequel pace with how many concurrently running sub franchises there are (especially now that this proves they can go past 3 each, not that they all will).

Four already feels like overkill.

Won't be 2022. 

By 2024 I imagine it will be at 5, or they may stick with 4 and a lot of the sequels will be D+ series, further blurring the lines between movies and D+ and keeping D+ content as "must watch".

Nah not at all, especially with Disney canabilizing Fox which was doing 2-3 a year themselves. There will actually be less over Marvel movies, just more for the MCU.

Remains to be seen if GA will share your opinion, but history makes me pretty skeptical. I think 6 is probably the max. It’s harder to fit the 6th in a year where you’ve got Avatar/SW camped out on an Xmas date, but depending on grosses in the next few years they could be movable.

I don’t think so either realistically, but it would be nice if we could get one of Blade, FF, AM3, or DP3 snuck in to joint the current 4. Or maybe even the Olivia Wilde Spider-man project, if that’s MCU? Still far enough away for the schedule to jiggle a little.

Glad this got the early May 2022 release date!

Is this still considered part of Phase 4?

By the time this comes out, she will not have played Sif for 9 years on the big screen.(she made 2 appearances on agents of shield since.)

[Macleod]

In terms of who Bale's playing...I don't know anything about the character, but someone here (in response to a post of my own) called it a week or two ago.  Congrats.

This isn't really saying anything at all, but here you go. I believe it's already been said this will have an "Avengers 5" feel because of the scale, so it's too be expected. 

 

[DeeCee]

In case anyone is wondering the current outbreak on the Northern Beaches of Sydney is unlikely to affect the schedule for this.

The strongest Avenger. Gorr doesn’t stand a chance now.

Is it common knowledge that Pratt and probably other Guardians will be in this?

 

Because.

 

Pratt in some video call slipped it to Tom. And also he commented this other day.

They haven't officially announced it yet but it's almost certain they'll feature in some way as connective tissue to Endgame. I'm sure they'll feature however briefly in the marketing.
