Inhumans have been removed from the Marvel slate of films for Phase 3. The films isn't officially cancelled so don't worry too much, but it has been put on hold until who know when. 

Kevin Feige gave some clarity to the decision here:

"Since we made our initial phase three announcement, we added Spider-Man, which was a big joyous coup for us. We added Ant-Man and the Wasp, which was a big fun continuation of that story for us. Walt Disney Company has announced an Indiana Jones film for right around that same time. So I think it will shuffle off the current date that it’s on right now. How far down it shuffles, I’m not sure yet."

I think this is just a problem that happens when you announce to many things too soon. Since the first announcement of Marvel Phase 3, there has been the acquisition of Spider Man following shifting dates and now a film removed from the slate entirely. 

I do think the one positive here is that Avengers: Infinity War - Part 2 will now be the closing film for Phase 3, which is a smarter choice in keeping everything fit together. 

Either way Inhumans fans will have to wait a while for this one. But I don think that Phase 4 is already at the planning stages so Inhumans could easily fit into there as Marvel continues to do new films in the future.

What is on that Holocron?

The Sith Holocron was the biggest surprise of the finale episode because it is just a little glimpse at The Old Republic era!

The last we see of this holocron Ezra's was taking a peak at what was inside. We did hear a voice come from it at the battle station so it was clearly a women sith from the past! Some speculate it could be Darth Traya from KOTOR 2 but it could easily be someone brand new. Either way Ezra will get to find out a lot about the Sith's past and it is going to be interesting see how he handles it and if it changes the way he views everything. Sith Holocron are infamous for teaching future sith how to few the dark side going forward.


Will Darth Maul become Ezra's new master?

Maul was kept alive and escaped for a reason. I don't think having him go off and disappear for another 20 years is the right direction for the character. Maul clearly wants revenge on the Empire and I can easily see him trying to take on a new apprentice to have the strength to confront the Emperor once again. The question is will Ezra accept his training? It is very clear that Ezra is being pulled to the Dark Side but I not so sure his ultimate fate for the series is for him to join Maul. 

The new three inquisitors are very much extinct now but that doesn't mean there won't be more out there. I think Ezra's fate will go more in that direction and if they are crazy enough, make him Darth Vader's secret apprentice (having a very clear TFU reference). I don't think that would be the smartest direction to go in but it is still a possibility. What is just as possible is Maul joining the Rebellion or at least helping them out. They both have a common enemy and I think Ahsoka diminished role in the Rebellion will affect them. 


Ahsoka Tano's fate? 

When Ahsoka took on Vader it became very clear on who will win the battle, but that doesn't mean she will go down easy. Even at the end of the episode Vader was very much damaged and it is possible Ahsoka is still alive. Ahsoka living on past this battle is something I want to find out about because being defeated by Vader doesn't just mean you walk away still the same person.  

I think that if she hadn't found a way to escape Malachor, the Empire most surely captured her. While I don't think her story ends there, I do think she will return on the different side. Whether it be on her own side away from everyone or worse returning as the new Inquisitor! I think that is probably less likely to happen but it is still a possibility. 
 

James Cameron came to CinemaCon 2016 to announce that he will be continuing with his Avatar franchise but also laying out the release dates for all of these sequel films to have. 

Each film will stand alone but also tell a complete story in this epic saga, Cameron said.

Here are all the release dates:

Avatar 2 - Christmas 2018
Avatar 3 - Christmas 2020
Avatar 4 - Christmas 2022
Avatar 5 - Christmas 2023
  
Cameron has been working with his team of writers to come up with scripts and designs for up to several Avatar movies. It is very clear that Cameron wants this to become his new star wars saga.  

I guess we will have to wait and see if all his work pays off when the first sequel arrives. But the key difference now is, that he has to compete with the Star Wars films that also release the same time every year from now on. 

Check out the trailers below!

Its crazy to think that there is another Star Wars movie already on the way right after the release of The Force Awakens!

What is cool is the way this film looks! Edwards knows from experience how to make his moves at least look epic with the darker tones and atmosphere and its cool to see that brought here. My biggest concern is that the films will worry too much about connecting the story to the original trilogy and giving you nostalgia instead of standing on its own.

Rogue One isn't the most interesting story that could be told in this universe, mostly because its going back to prequel territory of explaining events that are much cooler in passing than actually dedicating an entire movie about it but I will reserve judgement until I see the movie myself.

Check out the trailer for yourself!

Batman v Superman isn't that far away and while I am looking forward to this movie. I still am very much cautious about it. I am really intrigued with the idea of both Batman and Superman being in a movie together I can't help but be worried that might actually be pushed aside to make room for other characters. It is not hard to notice that this movie is packed!! Of course it is a matter of how these characters are presented and introduced that will determine their relevance in the movie but I can't help but be worried that this won't be handled well. 

DC wants to catch up to Marvel and as fast as possible! They are going to get as much as they can in hear to make sure the audience is excited for any future movie they make. But because they also have a justice league film to make as a sequel that pushed even more pressure on this film to make sure that all characters involved with the movie won't be a stranger. This worked with Avengers because they had a good 4 - 5 years of build up and solo films for each character so when the big movie came most of the job was done in  terms of having each character developed. 

It is very clear that DC is doing the opposite here, trying to start with the big movie and then proceed to give their backstories and solo adventures. It really is the only way they can do what they want out of this universe but does come with its costs. One question that I keep asking is that of, what if no one likes a particular character? whether it be wrong casting or just lack of interest? You got to remember that this is the same DC that made the Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern that had a "SECRET TEASER ENDING" for a possible sequel. We all know how that worked out, but imagine if that film was made post Batman V Superman? Would we be stuck because the character was already established in two or three other movies? 

It is interesting how one thing in a cinematic universe doesn't just go away, because now it affects the entire universe as a whole! Batman V Superman is going to be the start of this and it will set the bar at which all these DC films will be perceived. There are a ton of characters in this movie and if they are all executed well, that will greatly affect how they go on in the future. Will DC catch up to Marvel? We will have to wait and see.

So here it is, the list of characters (that I currently know of) that will appear in Batman V Superman, whether it be an actually appearance, backstory, or just in mention. 

So is the movie too crowded? or Will it be handled well enough to kickstart this cinematic universe in the right direction?
