Marvel Sets Iron Man 2 for 2010, Thor, Avengers Movie to Follow
Comic Book Movie News, Featured, Iron Man 2 (2010) Movie, The Avengers (2012) Movie, The First Avenger: Captain America (2011) Movie, Thor (2011) Movie — By Nix on May 5, 2008
To no one’s surprise, “Iron Man” cleaned up at the box office with a worldwide take of $200 million in its first week of release. With that in mind, it’s then no surprise that Marvel has already announced that “Iron Man 2″ will be coming our way very soon — as in, in 2010. Which probably means Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr. will be climbing back into the suit very soon to meet the deadline. The question is, who is the villain for the sequel, and will Terrence Howard finally get to suit up as War Machine?
What’s more, Marvel has also announced that the “Thor” movie will be showing up in theaters at the same time as “Iron Man 2″, while the “Avengers” movie (with Favreau directing, one can only hope) will be popping up as early as 2011 — right after a “Captain America” movie?
Here’s The Hollywood Reporter with more news on Marvel’s 3-year slate:
“Thor” is slated for June 4, 2010. Marvel is also planting its feature film stakes for 2011 with an Avengers-themed summer.
The May 6 release of what is now going under the workimg title “The First Avenger: Captain America” will be followed by “The Avengers” in July.
So they ARE going through with a “Captain America” movie. At first glance, it was said that selling a movie about a man with the name “America” in it overseas would be a hardsell, but apparently Marvel doesn’t think so.
I am surprised, though, that they’re planning such a huge 2011 Summer — the Avengers movie itself is going to be huge, but add the Captain America one to it, and well, Marvel is looking like it could kick some serious tail come 2010 and beyond…

thank you for serving,and yes our God is the God this country was built on,our libertys are slowly being taken away.
Politic be damned, dude. It’s always been “their prospers, our suffers” so far. At least, realistically it is.
Give me a break, will ya. Besides, we’re talking films here. As for Captain America, as long as it’s not so politically steered (just because he bears the name–I mean, not so much like Superman’s “…the American way”-kind of justice), I think it won’t matter much. Or perhaps the movie could post a seperation between the ideals and characterizations. His critical clash with Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D., for instance? His romance with Natasha Romanenko? His efforts to determine his own footing instead of being the government’s doll for the rest of his life? Paving the way for the birth of the “Metahuman Act of Rights and Freedom”? Does the world really need superheroes at all–hence, the justifications for The Avengers?
Lotsa possible and hugely interesting angles could be taken, no?
Political forum???? Religious forum???? you can keep ‘em both. Just want to say that I have been looking forward to all of these Marvel characters in movie form since the late 60’s. Some of them have been everything a fanman could ask for…… Some pretty lame (Dolf Lundgren / “Punisher” & the final “Blade”) but, some of ‘em awesome (Spidey’s & first 2 Xmen, Iron Man ect….) Can’t wait to see Cap in action on the big screen. Keep up the great work Marvel and just as a suggestion how’s about a cameo of Mar-vel huh? See ya in the funny pages kiddies!!!
this is the reason no one like americans. you guys are never wrong are you? no mattter the reason or situation u always argue it out. this is a fucking movies forum get the fuck out or talk about the movies
uHm wasnt this a topic about a Marvel Movie. WTF are you goofballs babbling about politics for. It’s not like you can do anything about it. It’s all bought in the first place, so good luck with that.
AHEM* On the Real Topic at hand. THANK YOU MARVEL FOR MAKING MY FAVORITE COMIC OF ALL TIME
The Asgardian GOD himself, THOR:D:D:D
