Marvel's President and CEO, Allen Lipson, commented, "The continued success of entertainment projects such as films, video games, and comic books based on our portfolio of characters has led to enhanced brand awareness for the Marvel Universe of characters, which in turn has led to increased sales. The recent release of Spider-Man 2 has broken box office records and has generated more than $600 million in worldwide box office receipts to-date, and the DVD is scheduled to ship in November.

Which of the above films do you think will be the best?

I thought Man-Thing was coming out this fall....

I thought so too 😕

If they mess up Surfer it's gonna suck. If they mess up many of those it's gonna suck.

I think its safe to say that we will have both bad Marvel Comic book based movies and good ones.

im really looking foward to hulk 2, ghost rider and deathlok.

i think Hulk 2, Silver Surfer, Thor, Spider-Man 3, X-Men 3, Iron Man, Captain America, and Namor all look awesome

At least 78 percent of the movies look great 😄

How many of these are actually planned to be put into cinemas though?

-AC

All of them

I can't really see that happening to be honest. Cool if true though.

Thor, Iron Man and Silver Surfer will be amazing!

Who do you think will be the stars of those films?

Dunno. For SS u could probably just us CGI. Iron Man.... OOO who's that guy, Antonia Banderez! he looks a lot like Tony Stark. Thor 😕 dunno about that one.

i bet silver surfer will suck.

What are they going to do? introduce his origin...and show him as a herald that goes around helping Galactcus (not yet introduced) devour worlds?

and who's the bad guy going to be?

I've been hearing about Tom Cruise playing Iron Man for about a year now.

Yea Tom Cruise aint a bad choice.But if u ask me, Tony Stark looks like he's got that sort of spanish/mexican look.

Antonio all the way!!
