With Iron Man just out and raking in the dough as the final box office numbers roll in for both domestic ($102.1 million) and international ($98.6 million), I know you will be shocked to hear that Marvel Studios says it plans to produce an Iron Man sequel. Okay, back on your chair now? In announcing its Q1 2008 shareholders report, Marvel Entertainment laid out the Marvel Studio move release plan. We are looking at no Marvel Studios movies for 2009, but 2010 will see the release of the next Iron Man movie (April 30) and a feature film version of Marvel's character Thor (June 4), which will be followed in summer 2011 by two Avengers movies, The First Avenger: Captain America (a working title, May 6, 2011) and The Avengers (July 2011). All of these movies will be distributed by Paramount. Marvel Studios is also developing an Ant-Man movie. In just a few week Marvel Studios will release The Incredible Hulk (June 13, 2008) distributed by Universal, and studio heads say they plan on continuing that franchise as well. Furthermore under separate feature film production deals work continues on Spider-Man 4 (Sony, date tbd), X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Fox, set for May 1, 2009), Punisher: War Zone (Lionsgate, December 2008).

So it looks like a reboot of Captain America (the last version is hopefully forgotten to the mists of time). It also looks like the Avengers will be in play, it will be interesting to see how they tie that into the current Iron Man franchise (will they get Downey Jr. to play Iron Man?).
What do you think of Thor and Ant-Man (also Avengers)?
