They don't have to do the origin story for Captain Marvel. In fact, I hope the phase 3 movies start in media res instead of being another series of origin stories. The 'origin story movie' is way to overused a trope and an easy/lazy way to put out a super hero film. Especially if you are Batman or Spiderman...
I think it's fairly safe to say that people going to see MCU movies know what they are getting into at this point, and we have this wonderful internet for looking up background information if a person is interested. Other than that... it really shouldn't be needed to spend more than maybe 10-20 minutes showing a scene explaining the origins of their powers for movie viewers to get where they are coming from. And with Black Panther it's really going to be a lot like Thor's origin. T'challa was born into the role of the Panther, the movie would be more likely explaining why he had decided or been forced to take on a place in the larger world(s) than just his homeland.
Edguy:
Yeah, I'd imagine Black Panther being an origin story to much the same degree as Thor. I read that Wakanda will be featured in Age of Ultron, so like you said, we wont need much exposition to the country or the concept of the Black Panther, but rather why he ventures out in the world/what changes in his situation. I imagine the events of Black Panther will be set in motion by whatever happens in Age of Ultron.
Doctor Strange might fir more as a straight forward origin story, considering all the new elements that have to be introduced for him. (Suddenly there are trippy dimensions full of demons and magic in the MCU)
LeeC:
Did anyone here ever see the Dr. Strange cartoon movie from the mid to late 2000s?
also newest trailer:

Neko_Ali:
I own that one, as well as a lot of the movies that Marvel and DC have put out direct to video. Honestly DC needs to give their live action movies over to the people they have working on their animated stuff. They have a much better grasp on the characters and what makes a good movie. I agree though that Doctor Strange will need some heavy explaining, but not necessarily a whole movie devoted to his origin story. Of all of phase 3 characters though, he is probably in most need of an origin movie.
As far as Wakanda in Avengers 2, I expect it. The opening scene is about Baron Von Strucker being taken down by the Avengers, and his secret base was revealed to be in Africa in Winter Soldier. Plus the trailer shows Andy Serkis as Ulysses Klaw, and he's scheduled to appear in Black Panther. He has a huge backstory with the Panther, Wakanda and vibranium. Plus we see Cap's shield broken in half at the end of the trailer. So they will probably need to visit Wakanda to get it fixed.
Edguy:
That all makes a lot of sense! I wonder how they will do Captain Marvel tho. By then we might have a lot more exposition to the Kree (GotG2, possibly Thor 3, several seasons og SHIELD), so they could set themselves up for a movie in minimat need of origin exposition.
Btw, have we seen anything about Skrulls yet? Or do they fall under Fox' properties?
