Awesome Marvel Reveals From The Phase 2 Box Set

As they did at the end of Phase 1 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios will soon be celebrating the end of Phase 2 with a brand new limited edition box set. In addition to containing all of the titles in the second wave of films from the company – including Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Ant-Man- the set also includes an exclusive bonus disc that includes extras not featured in any previously released package. Including a number of deleted scenes as well as featurettes about the past and future of Marvel, there is a lot of content to surf through, and a lot revealed about the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 

While the Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 2 box set will be released next Tuesday, December 8th, we’ve received an early copy, and have dug through the bonus disc for all of the new info we could find. We’ve organized it all for you below, so read on! 

Civil War will show the true power of Scarlet Witch

Discussing Captain America: Civil War, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige notes that Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch is only starting to learn how to use her abilities in The Avengers: Age of Ultron, and that we will "see exactly how powerful she is." Could this mean that her knack for changing reality might come to the surface? That’s certainly a hallmark of the comics, and could big a big thing to introduce for Phase Three. 

Potential to show up in Civil War was a major motivator behind including Ant-Man as part of Phase 2

Marvel Studios has earned a reputation for thinking ahead – mapping out the moves that they want to make in the Marvel Cinematic Universe years in advance – and as a result they’ve probably been thinking about Captain America: Civil War for years now. What you may not know is that this was ultimately a big motivator for includingAnt-Man at the end of Phase Two. On the bonus disc, Kevin Feige reveals in an interview, "Another reason we wanted Ant-Man to close out Phase Two was so that he could be introduced to the universe and he could be called upon in the events ofCivil War."
