Marvel Studios To Take '09 Off

This may come as a surprise to many considering the success the studio has already accomplished so far this year. Iron Man will be a top ten film and the new Incredible Hulk movie is guaranteed to bury the last one forever.

SPOILER: For those that may not have heard or seen the new Hulk trailer, you can expect to see Tony Stark (Iron Man) make an appearance. You should also expect to see Nick Fury after the credits have rolled.


Though there are no movie releases for '09, Marvel will be hard at work all year long moving several movies into production. The studio will be working on producing a second Iron Man, separate movies for Thor, Wolverine, and Captain America, and then topping the run off with an Avengers movie; Which will bring all fore mentioned characters along with a few others, like Spider-Man and Storm (rumored).

Prior to all these movies hitting the big screen, there is a good chance that even more movies could already be slated to begin production. Another Spider-Man would be okay, but a fourth installment for X-Men would be even better.


Though some will be disappointed with Marvel's lack of releases in '09, we can still count on other studios filling in the gap. Remember we are expected to see a second Transformers movie and that long awaited Star Trek movie. So even minus Marvel, 2009 should still be a good year for the Science Fiction Genre.
