Marvel will Avenge '09 Absences

Hey, we could have been further off. This morning's Marvel earnings call shows that a few of the projects we predicted below will in fact be making their way on to the track that is fast.

According to THR's Georg Szalai, the company revealed this morning that "Thor" is next up for Marvel, with a 2010 release scheduled, while "Captain America" and "The Avengers" will follow. in keeping with its internal cross-promotion theme, the studio will actually brand the "Captain" movie as an Avengers pic. Also, Marvel will turn around an "Iron Man" sequel for 2010 after all, despite initial concerns about rushing the follow-up. Downey and Favreau may reteam for that one. Get your 'suit up' puns ready.
