Buoyed by Iron Man‘s deservedly boffo box office, Marvel today offered up some future release dates:
- 30 Apr 2010: Iron Man 2
- 4 Jun 2011: Thor (dir. Matthew Vaughn)
- 6 May 2011: The First Avenger: Captain America
- Jul 2011: The Avengers
Plus Ant-Man (meh) is still being planned, and we have Incredible Hulk and another Punisher movie coming up this year.
Now — will they be as good as Iron Man — or good enough, at least? It’s going to be a tough act to follow — but while the CG was easier for this than some of the others (it’s easier to make a realistic-looking gleaming metal suit than a realistic-looking person, cf. Hulk), the lesson of Iron Man is that you can actually (a) stay true to the source material, (b) bring in good talent, and (c) write a good story, and you’ll have a success. Screwing with any of those is asking for trouble.

We will have to have Mary back for the next Iron Man (and hopefully sooner than that.)
Now that’s what I call planning for the future!
