Marvel Studios announced last week that it is changing the release dates of some of their upcoming superhero movies.
David Maisel, Chairman of Marvel Studios says “This new schedule strongly sequences Marvel’s movie debut dates, big screen character introductions and momentum”. He goes on to say that the new schedule maximizes the visibility of the single-character movies leading up to the Avengers movie in 2012.
In other Marvel movie release date news, Marvel Studios also confirmed in an announcement last week that Sony Pictures will release Spider-Man 4 on May 6, 2011.
The new schedule is as follows:
- Iron Man 2 – No Change – May 7, 2010
- Thor - moved from July 16, 2010 to June 17, 2011
- Captain America - moved from May 6, 2011 to July 22, 2011
- The Avengers – moved from July 15, 2011 to May 4, 2012

Good… Spider Man coming back on 2011 and the old Iron Man rocked, hope the 2nd one will be more cooler in 2010.

Totally agree, Avatar. Iron Man 2 is shaping up nicely. Don't know what to think about the whole Terrence Howard / Don Cheadle mess, (I hate it when a sequel changes up the characters like that), but the rest of the casting looks solid. Have you seen the new still from Iron Man 2 at USA Today? Looks like he's starting to get his armor collection going.
As for Spiderman, with Sam Raimi taking over complete creative control on the next one, I have renewed optimism for it also
