Marvel has just released their schedule of releases leading up all the way to 2019 - sequels such as Guardians of The Galaxy 2, Avengers: Age of Ultron (coming out this year) and the introduction of new characters Doctor Strange, the Inhumans and Ant Man; Marvel has a lot in store for fans in the coming years.

2016 will see a critical turn of events in Captain America 3: Civil War, where Captain America and Iron Man take their disagreements that started as early in the first Avengers to a whole new level. This will divide the earth's mightiest into two allegiances, facing-off with each other and with a greater enemy, Thanos.

Played by Chadwick Boseman of "Get On Up" fame, Black Panther will be making an appearance in Civil War, speculated to be playing a pivotal role of a character who halts the brewing conflict between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark.

T'Challa aka Black Panther, a character from the Marvel Universe originated from Wakanda in Africa. What ties him to the rest of the characters is presumably Vibranium, the powerful steel that Captain America's shield is made of and can only be found in his native land Wakanda.

"I'm excited about it too! I'm beyond excited. It's like to the point where you feel numb and then your mind goes off into, 'Okay, how do I achieve that?' But I think the great thing about it is that this actual character is unique in a lot of ways," - said Boseman in an interview with Variety (via I Am Rogue).

Captain America 3: Civil War is scheduled to launch on May 6, 2016. Black Panther releases in theaters on November 3, 2017.
