After the huge succes off the Iron Man movie last week (2nd largest non-sequel movie opening ever, behind Marvel's other mega-hit Spiderman), Marvel has annouced plans for:
Iron Man 2 (April 2010)
Thor (June 2010)
The First Avenger: Captain America (May 2011)
The Avengers (July 2011)
This all connects, starting with the introduction of SHIELD in Iron Man (and the little Samuel L Jackson "Easter Egg" after the credits). The Avengers consists of Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, etc and Jackson will be Nick Fury, Director of SHIELD. Been wanting to see Sam Jackson in that eye patch for a long time . . . in 2011 it should be Full Fury!
Marvel also has The Incredible Hulk with Edward Norton coming on June 13, an Ant-Man movie in pre-production, and Ray Park (X-Men, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace) set to star in the Iron Fist film.
DC was lame for that terrible Superman Returns flick, so I hope Marvel kicks ass with these films. If they keep hiring actors like Downey, Paltrow, and Norton, these flicks should propel comic-book movies to the next level. (In DC's defense - Batman Begins was great and I am greatly anticipating The Dark Knight)
