Some fans have come to the conclusion that 'The Avengers 3', another addition to the film franchise, will release in cinemas in 2018. Considering 'The Avengers' premiere in May 2012, and the upcoming 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' film in May 2015, some deduce that 'The Avengers 3' will come out in 2018.

In an interview with Comic Book Resources, Feige talked about the possible release date of 'The Avengers 3', "Well, we haven't really talked about what we'd see Avengers 3. I presume we'd like to stick to three years between Avengers movies like we did [between the first and second]. So it will probably be three years between Avengers 2 and Avengers 3."

In fact, Marvel will be releasing three movies in 2018. The schedule so far has a release on May 4, a film not yet titled on July 6, and another Marvel Cinematic Universe adventure on November 2.

There is no doubt that 'The Avengers 3' has already begun to take shape. It is also known that 'Ant-Man', 'Captain America 3', and 'Guardians of the Galaxy 2', are on their way, and there's also a July 2016 Marvel movie that is almost sure to be 'Doctor Strange'. In addition, there are three scheduled untitled releases in 2017, and 'Thor 3' is possibly one of them.

According to Cinema Blend, while Marvel has claimed July 6, 2018 and November 2, 2018 release dates, those dates are not as valuable as first week of May dates.

In the same interview with the Comic Book Resources at Comic-Con, Marvel president Kevin Feige that Thanos is not in the plans for 'Avengers: Age of Ultron'.

"He's not a part of 'The Avengers 2.' I think Thanos kind of does what he wants, shows up where he wants to. And I'm not going to tell him otherwise, so you don't know exactly. But you know, we're still making Avengers 2, so nothing's definitive one way or the other, actually."
