In the BookroomRecent PostsGeeky Friday: Make Mine Marvel—Minus McConaughey!May 9, 2008 | Link This | Email this | Comments (0) Following Iron Man’s first weekend tally of a gazillion box-office bucks (seriously, something like $200+ million worldwide!), Marvel Studios announced that Iron Man 2 will premiere April 30, 2010. Great news to fans, albeit completely expected, but equally cool was the word that along with IM2, Marvel is producing four other films based on its comics heroes: Thor on June 2, 2010; The First Avenger: Captain America on May 6, 2011; quickly followed by The Avengers that July, and Ant Man, which is in development.

I was kinda surprised; it’s not like ALA to be that forward-thinking. It’s usually impossible to get them to do anything this sensible and progressive at one of their shows. If someone else was doing it and they stole the idea, that I could see (they’ve stolen plenty of ours over the years). So I have to say, my hat is off to whoever came up with this.
