Marvel unveils pictures for Phase Two

By Drew Prindle Updated April 3, 2013

Almost a year after phase one culminated with the successful production of The Avengers, Marvel has released a swath of new photos revealing some of their plans for Phase Two. Fans who bought the new “Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One – Avengers Assembled Blu-ray box set” were directed to BattleofNewYork.net, where they were given exclusive access to a five-minute preview of Phase Two, along with a look behind the scenes and a treasure trove of concept images.

The shots are a mixture of live-action photos taken from movies currently in production and concept art for films that haven’t yet started principal photography. Among them are a handful of stills taken from the set of Thor: The Dark World, as well as a bunch of concept drawings for the upcoming films Captain America: Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy. Also included are a few shots from the test footage Edgar Wright created for his take on Ant Man, a film that isn’t slated for release until 2015 when Phase Three kicks off.

The best superhero deaths in movies, ranked

Robert Downey Jr. In Avengers: Endgame.

One of the most common features in superhero movies is someone close to the protagonist getting killed off. Gwen Stacy's brutal death in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Jonathan Kent getting killed by a tornado in Man of Steel are just two such tragedies that come to mind.

Although rare, there are times when the heroes themselves get the ax. Many movies have shown superheroes die in ways both noble and tragic, from self-sacrifice to a brutal battle with the film's villain. The demises on this list prove that being a crime-fighter isn't all fun and games, so be prepared to cry all over again with the best superhero deaths in movies.
