Now that The Avengers is steamrolling through the BOs worldwide, garnering big points from geeky fans and critics alike, it's time we had this thread as a forerunner to the next installment in the franchise.
As we speak,
Iron Man 3 and
Thor 2 are already in development, with scheduled releases in 2013. Here's the latest on both of them :-
Quote:
Though all eyes have been on Iron Man 3 as of late with that film going into production imminently, Marvel is also set to start filming another superhero pic later this year: Thor 2.
Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins, Idris Elba and Tom Hiddleston are all set to return, and after an extensive director search that saw Patty Jenkins join and subsequently drop out of the project, Game of Thrones staple Alan Taylor is set to take the helm. As that production looms closer, we now have our first new casting addition and it’s a biggie: Mads Mikkelsen will be playing the villain.

We recently reported that Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale) would be joining Tom Hiddleston as a baddie in Thor 2, so Iron Man 3 went ahead and added their own firepower.
In this case, “Firepower” is actually the villain that Ashley Hamilton (Sunset Beach) is in talks to play. In the Marvel universe, Hamilton’s character was the pilot of a “power suit” prototype built by the government (likely, S.H.I.E.L.D.) under the codename “Project: Firepower.” And we all know that, once you’ve strapped on a suit of battle armor, it doesn’t take too long before you challenge Tony Stark/Iron Man himself (Robert Downey Jr.).

So, will we see other sequels as well (like
Captain America 2 scheduled for a 2014 release, Nick Fury's own standalone movie, etc.), and a possible
Amazing Spider-Man link-up to
The Avengers 2 as well? Admit it, even a cameo by Spidey will add a lot of fireworks to the already turbo-charged lineup.
And finally, will there (finally) be an introduction of The Wasp?
Oh, and what about that Ant-Man movie?
Questions, to which we shall find the answers in the days to come.
