Marvel Announces 3 New Movies - Expect New Games

You can go ahead and count on three more games based on Marvel superheroes as Marvel Entertainment announced today that they already have planned releases for an Iron Man sequel, Thor movie, and the Avengers movie hinted at in Iron Man.

Following the $100-plus-million domestic opening for "Iron Man," Marvel announced an upcoming schedule that includes a July 2011 release date for the long-awaited "The Avengers" that is hinted at following the credits in the theatrical release of Iron Man.

"Iron Man" was Marvel’s first self-produced feature, and has already pulled over $200 million worldwide in only five days of release. The company now plans to turn its attentions to the release of "The Incredible Hulk" later this summer and "Punisher: War Zone" in December.

While 20th Century Fox is producing the Marvel related "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" for release on May 1, 2009, Marvel Studios will sit out 2009, prepping for what will be an extremely busy following few years.

What does this mean for videogames? Marvel has stepped up their relationship with Sega in recent months, licensing both the Iron Man and Incredible Hulk properties for videogames to the house that Sonic built. And if history in games has taught us anything, games will be made based on any movie possible.
