I think Marvel starting its own studio to do the movies in house, rather than in licensing agreements with other studios, was a brilliant move that will mean the movies are much more true to the vision of the comic books and the characters. Spider-man and X-men are the last of these.

Appears Marvel has got an impressive list of movies in the works, including a bunch of tie ins within the movies. Info from the efluxmedia website:

After the film opened strong in the weekend, occupying the first place in the Weekend BoxOffice Mojo top, with $100,750,000 in ticket sales, it’s no wonder Marvel Entertainment announced it was planning an "Iron Man" sequel that would be released on April 30, 2010.

In its earnings report Monday morning the company revealed its film release plans for the next three years, Reuters informs.

Apparently, four other movies based on Marvel superheroes are due to be released: "Thor," which will open June 4, 2010; "The First Avenger: Captain America," May 6, 2011; "The Avengers," July 2011; and "Ant-Man," of which the release date has not yet been communicated.

According to the Associated Press, Downey’s character, Stark, will also make an appearance in "The Incredible Hulk," which is due to come out June 13 from Universal Studios.

What's amazing is that the Avengers movie will have all four characters together(Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, and Thor).
