Marvels Heroic Movie Plan

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige tells SFX Magazine (via Superhero Hype) that he hopes that their upcoming " Avengers" (due in theaters in 2012.) is more than just a "team superhero movie with a bunch of characters with powers".



In the process he let slip that the
Hulk, a character whose involvement has not been as firmly linked with the film as Iron Man or Thor is now a sure thing.

He also hasn't ruled out a potential sequel to the
Incredible Hulk" film with Edward Norton, saying "That would be post-'Avengers,' if it happened... I think there's a chance. It's certainly our intention to use the same actors from film to film where we can."

On cencern over "The Avengers" is the mixing heightened reality-based heroes like Iron Man,
Nick Fury', Hulk and Captain America with the mythological fantasy hero Thor.

Feige says not to worry:"We're not doing the blow-the-dust-off-of-the-old-Norse-book-in-your-library 'Thor.' In the 'Thor' of the Marvel Universe, there's a race called the Asgardians and we're linked through this Tree of Life that we're unaware of. It's real science, but we don't know about it yet. The 'Thor' movie is about teaching people that."

Thor arrives in theaters on May 6, 2011. Production kicked off earlier this month....

Amongst the other characters in the Marvel library he see get on the big screen
:

"I love Doctor Strange," he said. "Ant-Man is like Whiplash— one of those characters where you're like, 'Really?' that we've got a fun story with. I've always wanted to do something with Black Panther. I think what Ed Brubaker and Matt Fraction have done with Iron Fist lately is great, and the Iron Fist mythology opens up a whole other part to us."
