so, it was already hinted at after the credits on "Iron Man"...Nick Fury meets with Tony Stark to discuss "The Avenger Initiative". From what I know, Marvel has "Iron Man 2" and "Thor" planned for 2010, with "The First Avenger:Captain America" planned for 2011, to be followed up very shortly thereafter by "The Avengers"
Anybody know any other plans for this whole franchise, or any other movies that could be connected? Thus far, it seems as if they are very ambitious, and if the quality of "Iron Man" is any indication, this could be a blockbuster set of movies.

"Hulk" obviously, with Stark telling General Ross "We're putting a team together".
Thomas Jane was briefly on-screen near the end of Spider-Man 2, in Punisher-esque street gear.

Thanks dust...I had heard about the appearance of Tony Stark in "The Incredible Hulk", but had forgotten about it. I haven't seen it yet, and haven't been able to locate a decent torrent to d/l it. I did not know, however, about Thomas Jane in Spidey 2...interesting. I also found an article (several months old, but hey...) with Marvel announcing release dates for several of the movies I've discussed. www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=7165Marvel Entertainment released their first quarter report to its shareholders this morning to coincide with the announcement about the success this past weekend of Marvel Studios' first production Iron Man, which grossed an estimated $104.2 million domestically and over $201 million worldwide. The announcement included an update of Marvel Studios' feature film slate with the already-rumored Iron Man 2 announced for a release on April 30, 2010, followed by three more movies for the summers of '10 and '11. Matthew Vaughn's Thor is set for a release on June 4, 2010, and The First Avenger: Captain America (the working title) will kick off the summer of 2011 on May 6, followed by the highly-anticipated and foreshadowed The Avengers scheduled for July 2011. (Edgar Wright's Ant-Man is also listed as being in development with no release date set.)
In a conference call this morning, Marvel Studios' David Maisel said that Iron Man 2 will be used to introduce Thor. Regarding more "Hulk" movies, Maisel said "We definitely plan on continuing." He added that development continues on Spider-Man 4. "I can't give any other updates other than to say it's in development and everybody's excited about 'Spider-Man 4,'" he said.
With that in mind, one can start expecting a lot more announcements in the coming months about creative teams and casting for those movies including who might direct the Captain America and Avengers movies. (Whomever plays Steve Rogers AKA Captain America presumably will be making two movies at once.) |

When Mary Jane runs through the park, he stops and watches her pass.

"The First Avenger: Captain America". Between that and "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" they got some clunky titles at the moment.
"The Guy who shrinks: Ant-Man".

Ant-Man was Hank Pym, right?
Is Edgar Wright really a good pick to handle a movie about a wife-beater?

a little update on this long ago thread...this article is a little on the old side as well, but I hadn't seen it before, so... www.firstshowing.net/2009/02/25/samuel-jackson-signs-9-movie-deal-with-marvel-as-nick-fury/Back in January, we ran a rather disappointing article about Samuel Jackson potentially not returning as S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Nick Fury in any upcoming Marvel movies. But it looks like that rumor couldn't have been any further from the truth. Jackson has signed one for not one, not two, but a total of nine upcoming movies for Marvel which will contain Nick Fury in some capacity, starting with Iron Man 2 and also including Thor, Captain America, The Avengers, any of their sequels, and even potentially a S.H.I.E.L.D. spin-off. This was announced by Marvel today and confirmed by Variety, so it's not just another rumor.
Audiences got their first glimpse of Jackson as Nick Fury at the end of the credits of Iron Man, where he appears inside Tony Stark's house and tells him about a team called the Avengers. In the blink of an eye, Jackson became the face of what is now the most integral character in tying the Marvel universe together. Even though he didn't appear in The Incredible Hulk, we knew he was there lurking in the shadows, and we knew that the Avengers was still being developed in that very same cinematic Marvel universe. Now it's great to finally know that Marvel won't be losing him ever again. Are you excited yet? |

Well as long as they don't turn it into a fan service franchise and just make movies for the sake of throwing in every character that has ever been an 'Avenger'.

who would be the villain? I was thinking Onslaught maybe. wouldn't be too hard to factor him in. really all you need is to tie in the x-men some how...

Onslaught would not translate well to the general moving going audience. It would probably be someone along the lines of Red Skull unless he is used up in the Captain America movie. There are plenty of character specific villains but no one who was an exclusive 'Avengers' villain. |

He's Xavier's dark side with the powers of Magneto and Xavier, right? I personally never liked Red Skull, he was (to me anyways) just a terrorist and with crap like that you get too much nationalism going on. Spider-Man running by an American flag for an instant in Spider-Man 3 caused a freaking uproar as it is on IMDb from Americans and non-Americans alike as it is. Maybe the leader could set up a group of villains that Hulk can't take out on his own or something. W/E they do, they sure as hell better not just gather all the villains they faced and have them team up. edit: they could always fight an army of servbots... ;D |

Probably Ultron, but Hulk will most likely be a villain for a bit. Loki would be badass, but I don't see it happening. Sub-Mariner needs to be part of it or I riot... okay, complain endlessly to the poor bastards around me. |

If its dealing with a mass of Super Heroes its going to have to be someone who has a lot of minions so each hero has a chance to be 'heroic'
Ultron would just have Ultron clones or maybe the Vision.
I don't like Red Skull either but using him would let you bash both nazis and terrorists plus he had a mass of minions that ranged from the passable to the crap.

However I very much doubt they will recycle a villain to be the main foe in an Avengers movie for the simple reason if we have already seen a single hero get the better of said foe then a team of heroes shouldn't have any trouble. |

Poor Spot gets about as much respect as Stiltman. The basic idea behind Spot wasn't too bad but he had a stupid costume that made him look like a Dalmatian and then they named him Spot cause obviously Fido was taken |
