In what amounts to a non-story, Marvel Studios’ president Kevin Feige has unwittingly whipped the web into a frenzy by acknowledging the possibility that both Thor and Captain America: First Avenger will be sequel-ized. Feige gave an innocuous interview to a Disney fan club magazine that hasn’t been published yet. And he didn’t really say anything. First of all, the promise of sequels is the whole reason Marvel makes and Disney finances/distributes these superhero movies, and the studio’s intentions were bared back when they signed Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans to superhero deals laden with sequel options. Same with directors Kenneth Branagh and Joe Johnston. Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely reportedly are already working on the Captain America 2 script, and the same thing will happen soon with Thor. Most of the other news nuggets dropped by Feige were equally familiar, including the chatter about Dr. Strange percolating, which Deadline revealed last June.

just what we need, another sequel! Yay!
Both look like near misses. Iron Man was so great and yet all Marvel movies since have not been that good. Sad. And Hakudo is right just what we need more sequels to below average movies.
Whatever they do with the script for Thor 2, it cannot be worse then the one they ended up with for the first film.
Based on the large number of positive reviews so far, I’d guess you’re wrong.
I am never wrong, merely sometimes factually challenged.
I watched Thor at a press screening (very large, keen-to-see-it audience) in a very major overseas territory. There were involuntary laughs, moans, groans and sighs and when during the final crawl the words “Thor will return in The Avengers” appeared, there were even boos and local language cries for “No! No!” I kid you not.
Thor’s a mishmash closer to an episode of Xena than anywhere near Iron Man. Given its budget it should have been so much better, and I usually love this kind of stuff. I think it will open well given the subject material, marketing push and, as you say, positive reviews, but it’s not a keeper. As always, see it for yourself and then judge.
I hope in this Captain America film series, they will include:
Rikki Barnes, Battlestar, Black Widow, Sharon Carter, Demolition Man, Diamondback, Falcon, Free Spirit, Golden Girl, The Invaders, Jack Flag, Josiah X, Nomad, Patriot (Eli Bradley), Bernie Rosenthal
I look forward to seeing the following villains in future Captain America sequels including Aleksander Lukin, Armadillo, Baron Zemo, Batroc the Leaper, Crossbones, Doctor Faustus, Flag-Smasher, Grand Director, Hate-Monger, Nefarius, Porcupine, Protocide, Scourge, Serpent Society, Serpent Squad, Sin, Ultimatum, Viper (Madame Hydra).
I hope in this Thor film series, they will include:
Balder, Beta Ray Bill, Frey, Hermod, Hercules, Hoder, Hrimhari, Idunn, Kelda, Thor Girl, Thunderstrike, Tyr, Valkyrie, Vidar, Volla, Zeus.
I look forward to seeing the following villains in future Thor sequels:
Absorbing Man, Atum, Bloodaxe, Cobra, Desak, Ego the Living Planet, Enchantress, Executioner, Fafnir, Fenris Wolf, Grey Gargoyle, Hela, Karnilla, Kurse, Lorelei, Malekith the Accursed, Man-Beast, Mangog, Midgard Serpent, Mr. Hyde, Mongoose, Perrikus, Quicksand, Radioactive Man, Ragnarok, Seth, Surtur, Ulik, Wrecking Crew (Wrecker, Bulldozer, Piledriver, Thunderball), Ymir, Zarrko.
They are NOT gonna include all those people in this film and future films. You’d have to be a comic fan to have them in there and this is a business. You are dreaming.
Get rid of those ugly red Thor posters with that giant face. Nothing to get excited about there.
Well, it’s unique for a superhero movie.
Will Disney &/or Touchstone release these instead of Paramount?
I think so, seeing that Disney is going to release Iron Man 3.
whoever think these two movies will miss, should leave the business. Same people pummeling Iron Man until it opened to nearly 100 million. this business seems to be filled with idiots who just know the right people.
Shouldn’t they wait to see if these movies suck ass?
Who’s going to release and market these films, Disney/Touchstone or Paramount?
Thor looks like the next big B.O. flop.
Captain America: The First Avenger looks to be a much better movie than Thor. The storyline/script, etc..
Yeah, sequels are bad. These characters should only appear once, just like they did in the comic books.
Touche!
Shouldn’t they wait until these movies are, I don’t know, financially successful enough to warrant sequels?
Marvel and D.C. films need to start bombing for the sake of humanity’s collective soul.
Both Chris Evans and especially Chris Hemsworth seem kinda undeniably roided-out in these films. Then there’s Vin Deisel and Dwayne Johnson in “Fast Five,” and on TV of course the “Jersey Shore” juiceheads.
It seems like in baseball steroids were a problem, then the subject got so much attention that fans could spot a juicer on site, then things calmed down. But even with a public that now largely knows exactly what to look for, popular entertainment is being pretty brazen about presenting drug abusers as (literal) heroe — more than ever, it seems.
I mean, I get that it’s not quite “cheating” in the same way it was for baseball, but it’s still a pretty sketchy message to be sending kids.
And you know these actors were juicing how exactly?
Here is a relevant passage from “The Adonis Complex,” written by three physicians, that explains the degree of muscularity that is and — germane here — is not possible without steroids:

i was at Comic-con last year and Chris Evans said at the CA panel that his muscles are fake. And considering how he looked as he was signing autographs and such, im inclined to believe him because they were still shooting the movie and he wasnt nearly as ripped as he appears in the movie. and, honestly, its not that hard to build up muscle if you are committed and have the right trainers helping you. my point is, just because these two guys look better than you doesnt mean they are juicing
Verily, thou art wrong, indeed!
You jokers make me sick. Crying about sequels for movies you haven’t even seen yet, but when “Sucker Punch,” a non-remake, non-reboot, non-reimagining, WHOLLY-ORIGINAL non-sequel comes out, you bash it, then crow when it comes in at #2. Fucking trolls.
Cap and Thor both look good. LOVE the red Thor poster. It’s second only to the original teaser poster.
Mick Nolte, chill out with the fanboy wish-list. We’ve seen the trainwreck when they try to stuff too many super-villains into one movie (Spiderman 3). Just give me Batroc, he’s just an acrobat, he’d be cheap to do, and he’s French so they can get one of these Parkour guys to be him. Easy.

We’re nearing the end. The genre is dead.
It’s time to stop beating a dead horse and start being innovative. young audiences are going to be bored of this sooner than you think. And to think we have a reboot of Superman coming AND a third reboot of Batman ? Those will most certainly be the final nail in the coffin.
Wake up lame-o development people.
don’t forget the spiderman reboot.
