Marvels

Buoyed by Iron Man's deservedly boffo box office, Marvel today offered up some future release dates:

Plus Ant-Man (meh) is still being planned, and we have Incredible Hulk and another Punisher movie coming up this year.

Now -- will they be as good as Iron Man -- or good enough, at least? It's going to be a tough act to follow -- but while the CG was easier for this than some of the others (it's easier to make a realistic-looking gleaming metal suit than a realistic-looking person, cf. Hulk), the lesson of Iron Man is that you can actually (a) stay true to the source material, (b) bring in good talent, and (c) write a good story, and you'll have a success. Screwing with any of those is asking for trouble.

We will have to have Mary back for the next Iron Man (and hopefully sooner than that.)
