Marvel's live-blog of the event followed through to the Q&A afterward. It ran from 10:58 through 12:05 Pacific Time (13:58 through 15:05 Eastern).

Patrick Cavanaugh, who was running the Live Blog for Marvel, stated the following:

"Civil War is the beginning of Phase Three" (at 11:53 PDT)

News coverage is echoing the assumption that many people are publicly sharing based on that statement:

BleedingCool (note the piece at the bottom regarding the Q&A)

SlashFilm (note the picture that shows this as the "Phase Three" movie slate, whereas the prior picture I linked was "Phase Two".  Though the statement at the end on Ant-Man is ambiguous)

I understand where you're coming from - I really do. And I'm not trying to be contentious (it's hard to convey tone online, as I'm sure you know). I just think that, based on confirmation directly from Marvel staff in the Live Blog, as well as press coverage regarding the Q&A and photos, there's little additional "confirmation" that could be had beyond what we already know.

That being said, I'm more than happy to keep digging for additional data to back up what is, I believe, a foregone conclusion.
