"Captain America-3" in May 2016 : Disney
After a record-breaking weekend at the box office, Marvel's Captain America series will return for a third installment on 6 May 2016, Walt Disney Co said on Monday.
This time Captain America 3 will join the series of Disney's hits.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the sequel to 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger, stormed the U.S. and Canadian box office with $96.2 million in its opening weekend, setting a record for an April film release.
The films, based on the Marvel comics, star Chris Evans as a scrawny World War II reject who gains super-powers from an experimental serum and becomes America's first superhero, donning a suit of stars and stripes.
The success of "Captain America" follows Disney's long line of recent hits from the Marvel universe, led by Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth's Thor and 2012's superhero ensemble The Avengers, which became the third-biggest film in Hollywood history with $1.5 billion at the worldwide box office.
Each film is interconnected with the others, often featuring crossover characters and stories.
Captain America 3 will be released on the same scheduled date as Warner Bros' sequel for 2011's Superman reboot, Man of Steel.
