The New Age of Marvel!

After the impressive box office performance and nearly universal positive reviews of "Iron Man," Marvel Studios announced dates for the next spate of films. In 2010, "Iron Man 2" will be released on April 30th, followed by "Thor" on June 4th. In 2011, "Captain America" will throw his shield into the ring on May 6th, and "The Avengers" will be released sometime in July.

And, in case you've been living in a cave, we are scheduled for a reboot of "The Incredible Hulk" in June, and a "Punisher" movie in December.

Since Iron Man was the first independent effort for Marvel Studios, I think they were waiting to see how it would perform before they made any more announcements. I think I can safely speak for all comic book geeks when I say "Hallelujah!"

If you haven't seen Iron Man yet, get thee to a theater, and don't you dare leave the theater until the screen goes completely dark!
