Atleast this time it did! Iron Man racked up more than 100 Million dollars in it’s opening weekend and will most likely bring in more as the summer moves on. Iron Man is Marvels first take at a movie adaptation of a comic book and released exclusively by Paramount Pictures.

So, it “seems” that to the comic book collecting world that the 2008 Summer movies are starting off with a bang. Some inside news though (thanks to comicbooksecrets.com) - Iron Man is slotted for a second movie along with a variety of other comic book movies. Here is what is coming out in the next couple of years:

• Iron Man 2 - slotted for April 10, 2010
• Thor - June 4, 2010
• The First Avenger: Captain America - May 6, 2011
• The Avengers - July 2011

Why the highlighting of Avengers?

I asked a question at the end of my last post whether anyone thought that Marvel should come out with an Avengers movie - well it looks like I have the answer to my question. So, yes, it looks like Marvel has found another pot o’ gold in them thar movies, as long as Marvel Comics does just as well with those movies as they have done with Iron Man. Time will tell.

One more last surprise - it seems that there isn’t another X-Men movie coming out BUT there will be a Origins: Wolverine movie (slated for May 1, 2009) with none other than Hugh Jackman! You can read the interview he did here.
