Apparently Iron Man Did Pretty Well

Fresh off the opening weekend success of their highly entertaining Iron Man movie, Marvel has announced its planned releases for the next few years. Which characters will get to appear on the silver screen, you ask? Everybody. With the Avengers movie set for July of 2011, we'll have The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, and, earlier that summer, The First Avenger: Captain America to establish enough characters to not make the super-team vehicle a complete cluster@#$%. There's even rumored to be a comedic Ant-Man flick in the works. Tiny Pym would probably play much better in live action form than Giant Man. Hopefully all this means that they'll be room in the script to fit the greatest Avenger of all time, Hawkeye, into the mix. Along with these films and the soon to be disastrous Punisher and Wolverine movies, there are apparently animated Hulk, Thor, and Planet Hulk DVDs in development and cartoon series based on Wolverine, Iron Man, The Gamma Corps, and Hasbro's Super Hero Squad scheduled for 2009.
