Apparently this superhero trend isn't going anywhere. Or at least Marvel hopes not. At a press event in Los Angeles, Marvel announced a slew of news, including premiere dates for anticipated titles like the third installment of the Captain America franchise and the sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy, as well as new films based around the characters Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and the Inhumans.

Get out your calendar, comic book fans, because several weekends over the next four years are booked. First, let's start with the sequels.
