Ideas on how to begin integrating the characters formerly owned by Fox into the MCU
So, now that Marvel Studios has regained the rights to all of the characters from Fox's stable of Marvel characters I had a couple of ideas on how they can begin to integrate them into their universe and build up to an eventual X-Men film (perhaps Uncanny X-Men or Astonishing X-Men). I think Mutants could have been in hiding and Xavier's School haven't intervened because they are scared of persecution, maybe something kept quiet in the past by the US Government.
1) First up, quite an easy one to work in I believe. Ororo Munroe aka Storm. I think it would be quite easy to integrate the African Goddess-like mutant into the upcoming sequel Black Panther II. Perhaps even introducing her as an ally and love interest to T'Challa. I could see Aja Naomi…

OFFICIAL: MARVEL Casts The PUNISHER
First up, we have a look at the logo for the second season above but what we all really want to know if who Marvel Studios has selected to don the skull on his chest, so here it is:
It's official, Jon Bernthal will be joining Season 2 of the Netflix Original Series Marvel's Daredevil as none other than Frank Castle aka The Punisher.
Jeff Loeb had this to say on Bernthal's addition to the show: "Jon Bernthal brings an unmatched intensity to every role he takes on, with a potent blend of power, motivation and vulnerability that will connect with audiences, Castle’s appearance will bring dramatic changes to the world of Matt Murdock and nothing will be the same."

UPDATE: Three Untitled Marvel Studios' Projects
As I'm sure you all know, Marvel Studios' slate of films is ever expanding with this year kicking off Phase II with Iron Man 3. Later this year in November 2013 we have Thor: The Dark World and then next year Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy before the culmination of Phase II in May 2015 when The Avengers 2 hits cinemas.

Well, Disney has just announced that they have at least two more release dates for films following Ant-Man, the first being released May 6, 2016 and the second May 5, 2017. Now, does this mean there will only be one film for each of those years? Doubtful. Bu…
