Mon 5/5/2008 7:23a | It is official, and taking my advice Marvel has decided not to make Ant-Man at this time. This is Marvel's slate for next few years
Iron Man 2- April 30, 2010
Thor-June 4, 2010
Captain America- May 6, 2011
The Avengers-July 2011
Things are looking up for Marvel and I have a strong feeling all of these movies will make alot of money. |

Mon 5/5/2008 9:28a | Thor is going to have to make a lot of money, I've read that the budget is going to be close to 300 million. Iron Man 2 and Captain America are hitting that first weekend of May which we all know is a great spot. Next year they have Wolverine opening up there who has also been a member of the Avengers, possible cameo in that film. Of course there's also the Incredible Hulk who was a member also.
A little spoiler for the Incredible Hulk film. So be warned:

In the previews you see Tim Roth's character getting injections that turn him into the Abomination. Well those injections are part of the Super Soldier serum which of course was used on Steve Rogers aka Captain America. So that's very cool.
I'm guessing the Avengers could be around July 4. Though hopefully people won't confuse it with the terrible adapation of the tv show a few years back. |

Mon 5/5/2008 11:18a | I'll be curious to see who else they have on the Avengers line up. I'd love to see some of the gals on there, but I don't know how well Wasp would translate on the big screen. The Scarlet Witch might work or maybe Binary/Ms. Marvel.
I can't wait to see Thor. His is one of my favorite stories, and I hope they translate it well. It'll be tricky to do well, but if they just stick to Thor with Loki as his nemesis, that could really work. |

Mon 5/5/2008 4:16p | I'm surprised there's no mention of Ant-Man, as that's the only movie I've seen any information on in the past.
This is all great news, but I think it's going to be a huge challenge to get Thor to work in the reality they've built for Iron Man. Looking forward to it though. (I'm already in line for Iron Man 2! :) ) |

Mon 5/5/2008 6:00p | I guess that there won't be any more Fantastic Four movies either. Too bad, as my 10 year old son LOVED those films. I realize that they were 'cheezy', but I found them 'cheezy' in a really fun way that kids could enjoy with their parents. Spidey was a bit too heavy in places for him, and he had no interest in X-Men. He does want to see Iron Man. Is it possibly too intense for his age? Or is it about on par with Spidey? Batman Begins, I feel, is was way too intense in violence for him yet. |

My only concern is that it means the later movies won't make sense to a viewer who hasn't seen the earlier ones. That's a good way to kill a franchise. |

Mon 5/5/2008 6:51p | Well by the time the other films are released the idea should be that mostly everyone has seen it. Oh and Alex if ever need something read check out Ed Brubaker's run on Captain America, fantastic stuff. |
