Marvel Not Moving Captain America 3 Release Date, Plus More Batman vs Superman Set Photos

Both Marvel's Captain America 3 and DC's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice are scheduled for release on May 6, 2016 and will compete for eyeballs on the same weekend. Comic book movie fans must choose which one to see first, but Marvel Studios president of production Kevin Feige made some recent comments that squash any ideas of moving Cap 3.

Some fans like to believe Marvel and DC have a blood feud when it comes to things like this, but Feige actually spoke quite complimentarily about the rival studio.

"I don't think it is quite fair to say DC is finally getting their act together," he replied when Empire made such a remark. "The Dark Knight movies were rather successful and genre-defining, they altered the genre in big ways. So I think there has always been competition that way. I mean Iron Man was the number one movie of 2008 until The Dark Knight came along, and I loved it, frankly. I love that the number one and the number 2 movies of that year, and it has happened a number of times since then, being comic-book movies, even if it wasn't one we made. Here we are now, 14 years since the first Marvel movie I worked on. At that point it had been eight years and for about those eight years people had been asking 'How much longer gonna last?' 'When are people gonna get tired of these movies? And my answer always was 'People only get tired if a whole slew of terrible ones come out'. And it was our job to make sure that doesn't happen. If there are other people out there interested in that not happening as well, I'm all for it!"

He then made clear that Marvel would not budge on the Cap 3 release date.

"So I continue to be all for quality entertainment for moviegoers to enjoy on weekends. If it is on the same weekend I enjoy it slightly less. But we are doing what we've always done, which is sticking to our plan and sticking to our vision for the movies going forward and we have a very large vision that we're working on for Cap 3 and for all the threes movies and just because another movie plops down onto one of ours doesn't mean we are going to alter that. Maybe we should, but we're not going to."

In related news, Bananadoc has posted some more set photos from Dawn of Justice that show debris strewn all over the place, which possibly indicates a battle. Check them out here.
