To the shock of probably no one (or perhaps it was simply serendipitous timing), Marvel has announced its feature film slate for the next fears. In 2010 we’ll be getting IRON MAN 2, as well as the Matthew Vaughn (LAYER CAKE, STARDUST) directed THOR. In 2011, we’ll get another piece of the Avengers puzzle, with THE FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA (ugh, enough with the colons already! Just call it friggin’ CAPTAIN AMERICA!) in May, and then the actual AVENGERS film hitting theatres in July of that year.

Am I the only one who thinks making a THOR movie is a dumb idea? I just find it hard to imagine that anyone can pull off a film about someone who isn’t a superhero really, but a Norse god. I just don’t see how this can be anything but silly. Hopefully I’ll be proven wrong. Well maybe not hopefully because Thor is pretty boring. Then again I thought the same of Iron Man. As for the rest, I think it’s actually pretty neat to have a CAPTAIN AMERICA stand-alone movie come out right before he heads the Avengers a few months later in theatres. It’s really driving home that Marvel – like the Cylons – have a plan for their universe, and are really trying to create a cohesive, inter-connected world.
