Marvel Reveals New Details for Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Avengers

what if 'thor' and 'captain america' turn out to be bad movies?will they still make 'the avangers'???

^^^Blasphemy!!! Haha, what is the new movie they are talking about for 2012? I don't know about Ant-Man, I hate the character and a whole movie about Pym shrinking and beating his wife? Uhhhh, no thanks. You want him just put him as a secondary character in the other movies(probably work best in Iron Man 2).

Maybe The Incredible Hulk 2?

i think thor is gunna be stupid. i never liked him. tyhey should just make an incredible hulk 2

All I can think of with Ant-Man is the old SNL skit where all the superheros are at a party and they start making fun of is lame powers.

if captain america is set in WWII how will he be in avengers will bucky become captain america or will it be a 60-70 yr old CA

Why Ant-Man? Do these execs think Ant-Man is this great seminal comic book character?

Oy! It's so difficult to be reading comments from the un-initiated. Cap is gonna be frozen-unfrozen like in the original Avengers comics (if you want proof watch the alternate opening to The Incredible Hulk and look real close when the sea ice breaks up). The "new movie" is probably Iron Man III since it was already announced Favreau wants to do a trilogy. Even if Thor and TFA:Captain America end up being bad films, it's not going to stop them. It will bring down their box office, but it won't stop them. If anyone is a master at continuing to publish material that has long been abandoned by their market, it's the Comics biz. Marvel Studios has a grand McU vision, and they WILL complete it.

Ok, I'll admit Ant-Man isn't the most engaging of characters but that's because he's hasn't had a solo adventure in SOOO long. At this point Marvel has admitted that Hank Pym will probably hand over the mantle to Scott Lang during the film, which should make it a little more interesting. Particularly with Janet Van Dyne(The Wasp) involved. I mean, come on, The Avengers can't be a total sausagefest. All they have no is Black Widow with 9 other guys. BTW, is anyone else glad they've ditched the Donald Blake storyline for Thor?

If you don't mind me asking why don't you like Thor?

I'm actually most excited about Ant-Man simply because of who is behind it.

2012 mite be Dr. Strange

Animated "Avengers"? I have faith in Kenneth Branagh for "Thor" So far, he's famous for making alot of good movies back in his heyday, including 1995's "Hamlet". As for thomas deadison, you don't like Edgar Wright? Are you serious?

Captain America better be Matthew Mcconaughey & be filmed with the look of Private Ryan if its period!

RoadDog, I'm implying that I do, and it was meant to be a response to WV. I love Edgar Wright. I think Ant-Man and Thor are easily the most interesting projects of this whole lot.

@Roaddog - I think deadison does like Edgar Wright. Re-read his comment.

Matthew Mcconaughey is a pencil neck and doesn't even know how CA is (ugh... even CA's name should be a clue... even to the clueless like Matthew). Neil Fifer has been in talks with them to play CA. Monswine - I agree with everything you say, except... Ant Man sucks. He really, REALLY does. Ant Man sucked so bad they made him Giant Man... cripes! Was he created, then re-created on Fridays with impending deadlines? Even the Wasp is useless (HAWT... but useless). Maybe the Avengers would see Tony just bring in whores for the guys on Poker Night? I like the CA WWII idea. And again Monswine is correct on the timing of it all. And to the one that asked... yes, CA just won't be 70 years old like the animation claims... but closer to 100 by the time he's leading the Avengers. And yes, I believe they'll go ahead with an Avengers movie even if CA and Thor are sub-par... which I won't believe they will be. $'s R $'s and every movie counts... in the theaters and/or straight to DVD (which by the way 'straight to DVD IS intentional for some movies made - it's usually the cheaper budget movies... but in DVD - sometimes, cult following - and it's makes a lot of $'s). I'm rooting for Fifer to get this role.

I'm on board with everything said about Iron Man 2. not sure about the rest. At least it's being financed solely by Marvel Studios and not with Fox. I'm hoping DC does something other than Dark Knight... which was great, but one character out of the DC pool??? That's just unacceptable.

Well...there's Superman. And you knew Green Lantern was in the works...yes?

you know what Fifer would be great, keep Mcconaughey away from anything that has to do with comics unless he is just an innocent bystander and gets killed, that would be one hell of a cameo. And no Ant Man, or Giant Man or what ever name they want to give him I mean, he just kinda schwag in my book. And I know this will not happen but it would be kinda kool if they somehow got spider man in on these somehow even if its just one scene. Who knows maybe someday they will do a civil war series or something u know.

to acslaterson If youre query was directed at me, I'm sorry if it came off that way. I LOVE Thor and consider him one of the most powerful and important heroes in Marvel. Without his might and eternal wisdom there would be no Avengers. I mean who else could pose a challenge to The Silver Surfer? I still think Ant-Man is worth it. Who else can keep up with Tony Stark mentally and comedically?

I see Neil Fifer is a comic fan too. While checking him out, one site has led to another with some info. Lead to a couple of issues of a 'Fanzine' on comics he published. They're on eBay under 'Comic Cellar' Hey... an actual comic fan to play a Super Hero in Hollywood... FINALLY!!!

Monswine - good post. Yes Giant/Ant Man could keep up with Tony that way... good point. They sure made him (Pym) out to be quite the dink in the animated Avenger's Movie... then he died (thank God!). LOL... note - Thor saved Stark but let Pym kick the can (Thor... U ROC!). And yes, Thor is a VERY important character in the Avengers. I think we're all headed for some amazing movies my friends!

wonderBOY, Cap gets frozen in ice during WWII. They thaw him out. He doesn't age.

NO he doesn't (suspended animation and all that) - I was just referring to his years on the planet being closer to 100, but yeah, in the Avengers he's just his WWII age. Should be an entertaining movie.

In "Thor," Kenneth Branagh will not use classic Shakespearian dialogue like in the comics. Why not? This kind of dialog is contributes to the believe-ability of Thor's asgardian world. Unless of course they plan to use ancient norwegian (norseman speaks) like in pathfinder. "Avengers" was first considered as an animated film. Didnt they already do that? "Captain America" is a period piece that takes place during WWII. I hope they have him wearing the Red White and Blue unlike the animated film. Plus they should show a lot of his WWII adventures with him vs the Red Skull and establish why he is so celebrated. I remember that crapy CA movie from the early nineties, he disappeared on his first WWII mission, please dont go there again. Looking forward to all these movies, its about time.

@ thomas dedison I'm sorry. I misconstrued.

Incredible Hulk TWO pleASE!!!!!!

As for Ranger's comments about his choice for Captain America: Niel Fifer is a little too old for the role, and he's from Canada.

Maybe they will bring Blade back in 2012??? The thirst always wins! And fuck Morbius fighting Spidey in the fourth movie. They should have saved him for Blade, but we'll have to see if they still care about that franchise.

lol Really Roaddog? Fifer shouldn't be cast because he's Canadian? God forbid someone who isn't american gets cast as captain america. I sincerely hope that was just a joke.

who cares

Fifer is a better choice than Seth Rogan (also Canadian)... as Seth's name has come up... lol. Ugh!

Would someone remind me of the original Capt. America story. Why did they make only 1 Super Soldier. Did something happen to the secret formula and it was lost... or what?

mattcl23 thats a sick idea! bring morbius in blade 4! he makes himself a vampire accidentally, loses his mind turns others into vampires and blade has a new enemy! get rid of the night stalkers and make it more like the first blade!! fuck yeah!

i agree...morbius should be in blade....there's way cooler villians that have yet to be shown in spiderman than morbius

Ant man has the strength of a human

Yeah... he has a helmet that talks to ants... Zzzzz... Even as Giant Man it's a toss to see if they waste The Avengers Movie and stick his smart ass in there. His 'super power'... he grows big... Zzzzz... I have more fun crapping out a bran muffin.

Using "whilst" and "thou" hardly classifies the dialog from the comics as "classic Shakesperian."

Whilst thou was writing that... I had the same thought.

There has been more than one Super Soldier made...see US Agent

I did not know. Thx.

X-Men First Class, with new actors portraying Cyke, Beast, Jean, Iceman and Angel.

New film could be venom spinoff. If edgar wright is making antman, he would make it a comedy, perhaps with simon pegg? It'd be different to most marvel films. But yes, antman is a shitbitch character. That's interesting that Kenneth Branagh won't be using the shakespearean language, seeing as hes a shakespearean actor.

I HAVE THE PERFECT CANDIDATE FOR CAPTAIN AMERICA... SHON LANGE.. WATCH THIS AND SEE...
