With Iron Man blowing up the box office last weekend, Marvel stepped up Monday to announce more upcoming plans for their instantly successful production company Marvel Studios. Iron Man was the first movie produced by Marvel independently, and now we have a list of everything else they have in store for us.
First, they’re taking a break in 2009. They’ve still got The Incredible Hulk to be released this summer, but after that they’re taking a breath. In 2010 though, things start rolling again with the planned release of Iron Man 2 in 2010. They’ll follow it with Thor, released that same summer on June 4, 2010. In 2011 they’re slotting in two more superhero films, all centered around an Avengers theme. On May 6, 2011 we’ll get The First Avenger: Captain America followed simply by The Avengers in July of 2011.
I’ve never been much of an Avengers fan, but kicking off the Avengers team with two, apparently, connected movies in the same year is a novel approach. It’s something that hasn’t really been done before. Suddenly I’m interested. On the other hand, I’m not entirely sure about the cinematic appeal of a character like Thor, but after the success of Iron Man, for now Marvel deserves the benefit of doubt.

for marvel to hopefully be making a Thor movie in the near future, will be great. thor is one superhero that has been kept in the dark and he is a great character and superhero and has not been credited enough by other people, i seriously cant wait for this movie to hit the cinemas not only this one but also other up coming marvel movies, because i am a big big big Marvel and DC fan just cant wait.
