MARVEL SETS 4 MOVIE RELEASE DATES: Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America, Avengers - Blu-ray Forum

BLU for Blue · 05-05-2008, 01:45 PM

Marvel Entertainment released their first quarter report to its shareholders this morning to coincide with the announcement about the success this past weekend of Marvel Studios' first production Iron Man, which grossed an estimated $100.7 million domestically and over $200 million worldwide. The announcement included an update of Marvel Studios' feature film slate with the already-rumored Iron Man 2 announced for a release on April 30, 2010, followed by three more movies for the summers of '10 and '11. Matthew Vaughn's Thor is set for a release on June 4, 2010, and The First Avenger: Captain America (the working title) will kick off the summer of 2011 on May 6, followed by the highly-anticipated and foreshadowed The Avengers scheduled for July 2011. (Edgar Wright's Ant-Man is also listed as being in development with no release date set.)

With that in mind, one can start expecting a lot more announcements in the coming months about creative teams and casting for those movies including who might direct the Captain America and Avengers movies. (Whomever plays Steve Rogers AKA Captain America presumably will be making two movies at once.)

There will be a webcast for investors at 9AM Eastern at www.Marvel.com/webcasts where the same information should be relayed.

UPDATE

In a conference call this morning, Marvel Studios' David Maisel said that Iron Man 2 will be used to introduce Thor. Regarding more "Hulk" movies, Maisel said "We definitely plan on continuing." He added that development continues on Spider-Man 4. "I can't give any other updates other than to say it's in development and everybody's excited about 'Spider-Man 4,'" he said.

I'm a man who knows when to say when. Blu for Blue, you win. I'm going into hiding now....

Just kidding. All I have to say is DAMNIT!!! I was so wrong. Having said that, I hope it's Sam Jackson, Bob Downey, Jr. and of course Ed Norton as their respective roles.

RDJ is up for Avengers

I expect all of the Marvel movies to look really nice in Blu-ray.

BLU for Blue · 05-05-2008, 01:56 PM

Only thing that worries me is, whomever plays Capt. America in the movie will likely not be in Avengers because they come out with each other.

But
Iron Man 2
Thor
and Spiderman 4 (rumor)

Sounds like a good year for me

He will be.

It will be a period piece, and end with him being frozen. We'll probably see a post-credit sequence that has Nick Fury and SHIELD finding his body which will lead into the Avengers film 2 months later.

And sound really nice.

I see the Hulk doesnt seem like he will be added to the Avengers. But if someway he is, I hope Ed Nortan reprises the role.

Iron Man was excellent from Marvel!! Incredible Hulk looks to shirk off Ang Lee's mess and create a new name for itself!

This year and the years coming should not disappoint Marvel fans

I cant wait for these.

Avengers will be cool. I have an issue as noted below that the actor that plays one super hero needs to be in them all. I really dislike it when they cast one and switch the actor for a sequel or a char that is cameo or part of a group like the Avengers. (ala Bond films)

I wonder which Avenger group they will pick, there have been so many teams.
