Between mecha-fighter
Iron Man's second movie, coming in April 30, 2010, and military-sponsored super-soldier
Captain America, coming May 6, 2011, Marvel Comics' upcoming movie slate has a very militaristic feel. But where's the peaceful shrinking scientist Ant-Man, who communicates with ants? Apprently his movie's on hold, so we can get Norse god Thor's movie, directed by Matthew Vaughn (
Stardust,
Layer Cake), on June 4, 2010. Captain America's full title will be
The First Avenger: Captain America, and his film will be followed by
The Avengers in July 2011. Also in the pipeline:
Spider-Man: The Musical and Spider-Man the video game (out in fall 2008). [
