Marvel Studios Sets Four More Release Dates!

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 $104.2 million domestically and over $201 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.)

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.

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.)

Comic book movies are really starting to grow in Hollywood, which is always a good thing for us fans.

I was getting ready to start the same topic with the same info copied and pasted.


Anyways I agree very exciting!

Let the casting begin!

Iron Man was awesome. If the same people are making it, then it will just as good as the first, if not, better.

Justice League. It's actually suppose to be set before Man of Steel. But we will have to wait and see.

Beautiful stuff. Back many, many ages ago, I never would have figured that comic movies would become such a huge phenomenon at the box office!

JLA has been tabled, not canceled. From my understanding, bringing Bale and Routh in was a huge part of the plan.

You're saying they're considering it?

I put a link and interview in one of these threads from a Routh interview. He said someone talked to him about Justice League, but no one officially offered him the role. As far as Bats v. Supes, he said he didn't think the two should ever fight, but he deeply admires Bale and wouldn't say the word "no" anymore.
