As Marvel finds its feet as a fully fledged movie studio with the spectacular success of Iron Man, it has just announced a slate of Superhero movies stretching into 2011!
First up, as you'd expect, an Iron Man sequel, skedded for April 30, 2010, which shows that they are very serious about making sure of the quality, and that they hadn't automatically organised a sequel for the current hit.
Lovers of Scandinavian Gods turned Superhero will be stoked that Thor is skedded for June 4. Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake, Stardust) is currently set to direct. The rumours that Dolph Lundgren is set to star are completely unfounded.
2011 and yes, Captain America will make his big screen debut - 'First Avenger:Captain America' is scheduled for May 6. If you know the comic book world of Marvel, then you know that can mean only one thing - 'The Avengers' is also coming to the big screen. Which means teaming up Thor, Iron Man The Hulk and more. All in the one movie.
Boss.
Although Zak Penn is set to direct. Hopefully the 300 director will learn about 'homosexual subtext' by then or that could be a gigantic laugh riot.
The next Marvel movie, The Incredible Hulk, starring Edward Norton and Tim Roth, is set for worldwide release on June 13. Iron Man, is, if you've been living under a rock, out now, and is excellent.
