Also announced were new movies for Thor, Captain America, and The Avengers too.

From Wikipedia:

In a report to shareholders on May 5, 2008, Marvel Entertainment announced the release dates for two planned Avenger movies. The First Avenger: Captain America (working title) is schedule for May 6, 2011, followed by the The Avengers, which is scheduled for July 2011.

The first reference to the Avengers is in the 2008 film Iron Man, when the Ultimate version of Nick Fury (played by Samuel L. Jackson) appears in a post credits scene and speaks with Tony Stark about the "Avenger Initiative."

After the success of Iron Man, Marvel Studios announced Matthew Vaughn's Thor is set for a release on June 4, 2010. Thor himself will cameo first in Iron Man 2, schedule for release on April 30 that year.

Kick ass.

Maybe it's American thing 'cause i don't know anyone over the age of 12 that likes the sound of comicbook super-hero movies!


....maybe a bit harsh but you know what i mean?

I like them, batman, superman, spiderman. All brilliantly given a make over recently, superman especially, was absolutely stunning.

In fairness there have been a couple of watchable ones like Sipderman. For me, at their best they are a bit of 'fluff' that you takes your mind away for 2hrs and then are instantly forgettable.

Maybe there isn't as much of a 'superhero comic-book' culture over here? Unless you the Beano and Dandy!

I agree with you, man. I'm in the states, but never been a fan of the comic book movies. The first spiderman was ok, never bothered to watch 2 & 3. Never really bothered to watch any other ones...just not interested. I have to say Transformers was a good movie.

I think it depends on how they're done; I don't think you can just lump them all together. Some of them are well-written and appealing to adults while others do target the 12 years and have a bunch of "cool" lines and explosions. I need to go back and see Batman Begins. The next one is coming out soon, and I've become quite interested in it: http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/thedarkknight/trailer2/

Dudes, I think the people that like super hero movies, have a superhero inside them..
I think not to cut you guys down, you have to have a huge imagination and be able to see the impossible to enjoy them. I enjoy the engineering aspect of IRONMAN and the idea of possibly
fantasizing about being in that suite...You have to have an imagination. People I know who do not like superhero shows generally are dull people with no imagination. My boss is one of them
People who are way too serious on life..here in USA and I have met others from other countries,
every person who loves superhero shows, dreams of the fantasy of being one...

Just a great escape....great fantasy time....I can never imagin myself not dreaming about
flying in the sky super fast! but I am adreamer and dream the impossible and I think it carrys over into my IT job, I always see the impossibel while my dull boss who doesnt like super heros
doesnt dream of the impossible whereas I do! Not saying you can't be a great IT guy if you dont like superero shows but I think dreaming the impossible helps!

please dont be offended just my observation! hence my name ITDADDY hahaah
sort of a dreamer but i have done some amazing stuff where i work..i have designed my own
software installer program for some of our software that the huge corporation hasnt created.
so why was I able to see a software program that installs our vendors software and our
huge financial copy could not. because I dream big!

my 2.2 cents

Funny you are from UK , I had a friend in the Air Force ( i met in England) who loved super heros movies weird you woudl say that!

I grew up reading and collecting comic books, so it's a nostalgia thing for me. Nostalgia works against the movie studios, too, when I don't like how a comic book character is characterized in a movie (e.g., Lex Luthor, Mr. Fantastic, Cyclops).

Im from england (and over 12!!!) and i think some comic book films have been some of the best films made. The only thing i would say is i dont read comic books. I think reading comics is def more popular in the states than it is this side of the pond.

One thing i would say is a think hollywood are overdoing it slightly with the amount of comic book films being made over the last few years! Hulk gives me the creeps watching that trash - from 2003!!!!

superheros bring in millions of money guarranteed....such is life or the world..where there is
$$$$$$$$ to be made much like certs you have a flood of $$$$$$ bees..

+1 Its a phase. The same with all the action hero films in the 90s and the lovey dovey or loads'a money films in the 80s.

The only film im truly looking forward to is James Bond QoS around Halloween time. Its where James gives up the day job and configures QoS for his majesty's secret service. Only to discover the latency of his WAN links make deployments impossible. What will he do? Phone the telecom providers, give them an earful? Who knows? At least I think thats the storyline.

No offence taken, as it was myself who started the ‘debate’ I’m certainly not going to object other peoples opinions.

It is funny though how I perceive the entire opposite. I find the comicbook superhero movies dull, formulaic and uninspiring. I can compare it to McDonalds or other ‘fast food’, you go for your quick fix but ultimately you leave feeling empty and unfulfilled.

Everybody is different I guess!

i hate McDonalds hahahhhahah funnny huh! but you are right it is all perspective.
but i can see your point (dull is relative opinon) but I think amerian foods sucks!
it is addicting but not good for you. I have east non-american food
way better for you and tastes great! I do like both dull dry humor movies that you have to really use your imagination or flash quick fix and down i go hahaha
but you are right to a degree...but i thought ironman1 was fantastic! cant wait till ironman2
but sometimes i prefer reading books over watching the movies butu yuo are right
there are different views and i do respect yours....and I like the hulk movie
but i dont like the actor who is playing it he seems wimpy and well thenew hulk looks kind of weird..i really liked Lou Furrigno (spell?) in the old hulk movies watched all of them! hee hee
i have traveled the world over and see that there are many sides and views..i dothink
it is how you grow up but then again....to each his own!

I never really got into the "Super Hero" thing. But Iron Man was AWESOME, at first I didn't want to see it at all but got draged along. Best Movie I have seen in a long time (I don't watch a lot of movies). Looking forward to Iron Man 2.
