THE CINEMATIC BATTLE OF THE CENTURY!!!
May 6 2016 sees Marvel Captain America 3 go into battle with DC's upcoming Batman Vs Superman movie but only one will stand triumphant and one will fall at the box office. The movie by Warner Bros to choose the May 6 date knowing that Marvel already had a movie release pending on that very date, is interesting to say the least.
The Batman vs Superman movie was slated for a 2015 release date but got pushed back another year to 2016, coincidentally sliding out of the huge shadow which Avengers: Age of Ultron (2016) would cast over the movie.
Thus far details for both movies are still totally under wraps but once again we get to see yet another epic battle which we never ever would've imagined. Does Marvel stand a chance against the Batman / Superman movie and vice versa? Once again only time will tell. Guess now we all get to see who the stronger draw for audiences are going to be.
Here's what The Hollywood Reporter had to say:
Marvel films have all but owned the first weekend of summer for the past decade to enormous success, so all of Hollywood was surprised when Warner Bros. announced in January that it would open Batman-Superman on May 6, 2016 as well.
This week, when promoting the upcoming sequel Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige threw down the gauntlet, saying he had no plans to move off the May 6 date. He still wouldn't reveal the identity of the film; however, insiders confirm it will indeed be Captain America 3. The world premiere of Winter Soldier is Thursday in Hollywood.
Marvel and Disney are incredibly high on Captain America 2, which opens in north America on April 4 and is garnering huge interest, according to prerelease tracking. They believe Winter Soldier, with Chris Evans returning in the title role, will benefit from the same halo effect from The Avengers that Iron Man 3 and sequel Thor: The Dark World enjoyed, as well as firmly establishing Captain America as a standalone franchise.
Brothers Anthony and Joe Russo directed Winter Soldier and are in talks to return for Captain America 3.
The first, Captain America: The First Avenger, took in $371 million worldwide, compared to $668 million for Man of Steel. However, Winter Soldier has a shot at matching the $641 million grossed worldwide by fellow Marvel sequel Thor: The Dark World late last year.
GOOD LUCK TO BOTH!!! MAY THE BEST HERO WIN...
