Thor, Captain America and Avengers Updates

[halon]

Marvel Entertainment reported its First Quarter earnings today and gave a few updates on its upcoming movies during the company's quarterly conference call.

Iron Man 2 is, of course, already filming for a May 7, 2010 release, but Marvel said this morning that the Kenneth Branagh-directed Thor is scheduled to start filming in the First Quarter of 2010. No formal offers have been made to actors, though they said that casting announcements are likely the next few months. Thor is targeted for a May 20, 2011 release.

Marvel added that The First Avenger: Captain America, to be directed by Joe Johnston, is scheduled to start filming in the summer of 2010 for a July 22, 2011 release.

In an interview with Empire magazine, Marvel's President of Production Kevin Feige talked about The Avengers as well:

"Zak Penn is already on board The Avengers [as writer] and he's spending a lot of his time looking into what we're doing with Iron Man, Thor and Captain America, seeing how we're tying it all together. And he's beginning to outline the script now – he'll be doing that over the summer."

The Avengers is coming to theaters on May 4, 2012.

Hulk with Norton was very good. I head Thor was wayyyy better than the previews lead on ... but still havent seen it.

That poster is probably not the final version. The Hulk looks way too cartoonish.

And nothing like Ruffalo.

Leaked trailer looks awesome!

I like both Hulks. for different reasons.

Me too. Both had their strong points (and weak ones too).

Too hard to choose just one.....

Captain America, he is my favorite comic book hero. This was long before the movies and such, I used to read quite a bit of comics so yes that's my favorite by far.

 

[MANNEQUINSKYWALKER]

Tony stark without a doubt

 

[Wreck]

Iron Man

Poll added-are you attending a midnight showing?

 

[Drum18]

Finishing my Marvel marathon tonight with Captain America and I'll be ready for tomorrow night!!!

For me its a two way tie between Iron Man and Thor. Not going to the midnight showing. But Im planning on going tomorrow first show at noon assuming nothing gets in the way. Im so happy there are non-3D showings as well... Didn't wanna watch it in 3D. Last time my eyes were just hurting like hell after 2.5 hour 3D movie.
