From their press release:
Marvel today updated its feature film slate strategy and plans for the next three years, locking in key release windows for its character franchises. In order to focus its attention on maximizing the success of an Iron Man sequel and the launch of Thor in the summer of 2010 and because Marvel believes that the summer is the optimal time to launch a new property, the Company will not release a self produced film in 2009. Marvel plans to launch its 2010 film slate with the release of the sequel, Iron Man 2, on April 30, 2010, followed by the launch of Thor on June 4, 2010. Additionally, Marvel is planting its feature film stakes for summer 2011 with an Avengers-themed summer - a two-picture project which will debut on May 6, 2011 with The First Avenger: Captain America (working title), followed by The Avengers in July 2011.
Marvel also released their 'pipeline' for licensed properties in film, television, DVD and stage.

A animated movie about the Infinity Gauntlet or Secret Wars stories would be good.

Planet Hulk should be cool, that was great story for the Hulk. I hope make World War Hulk also which is the follow up to Planet Hulk. I wish they'd find someone to play Thor already.
I'd also like to see another animated Ultimate Avengers movie the first two were pretty good.

Remember Secret Wars? Bet that would've been made into a film if the comic had been released now. Not quite sure how it would've been made into a manageable film format that would have made sense though. Would've been interesting to see it I reckon.

Used to know a lot about Marvel comics, but that was a generation ago. My last comic collection was Spiderman and Zoids, (of which I managed to get the full collection)20years ago! Was laughing at my complete lack of recent knowledge. But thanks again AR, want to know where the stories are upto.

If ur being serious, i don't mind telling u. If ur just kidding, i'm still gonna tell u. Listen up:
The Skrulls r a shape shifting race of aliens who first appeared in a Fantastic Four comic during the Stan Lee days. Since then, they've been nothing but a nuisance for the heroes of the Marvel U, and were the center of a crossover event called the Kree/Skrull War, in which the Skrulls were at war with an enemy alien race, the Kree. Now, they've shown up again, only this time, they've gotten smart. It was recently revealed that Skrulls have been taking and replacing people on Earth for some kind of invasion. Not alot has been revealed yet, but the people of have been outted as Skrulls include Hank Pym, Elektra, and Jarvis, the might avengers butler. U can catch all the event madness in the 8-issue mini-series "Secret Invasion." Issue 1 and 2 r already on sale.
And this has been ur lesson in the "History of the Marvel U: Skrulls," courtesy of AndrewRyan.

Thanks AR. Now, what's a Skrull? lol

Make sure ya read all of this teester:
The original Ant-Man, Hank Pym, was a founding member of the avengers along with wife, Janet van Dyne a.k.a. the wasp. Hank now has a different costume and codename, Yellowjacket. He can still shrink, or even increase his height to towering proportions thanks to his "Pym Particles." Now that Hank is Yellowjacket, Scott Lang took upon the mantle of Ant-Man, but died in an explosion during "Avengers Disassembled." Luckily, he has a daughter to carry on his good name as Stature in the Young Avengers. Hank has since divorced from the Wasp after beating her(he's got issues). They remain friends, but i don't think that'll last long, as Hank was recently revealed to be a Skrull. The real Hank Pym's whereabouts aren't yet known.
And this has been ur lesson in the "History of the Marvel U: Ant-Man," courtesy of AndrewRyan. heh, heh, heh(P.S. I did NOT copy and paste that, i wrote it all by myself)

Checked up Ant-man on the Net. He died?! Sure he will be alive and well in 3 years or so.

Great looking list of films. But Ant-Man is a new one for me. Never heard of him before to be honest.

I think civil war will be made into a cartoon movie before anything like the ultimate avengers films

Hell yeah! A Civil War trilogy would be freakin' sweet!!! But you know something funny? That time in Marvel history is when Spider-man REALLY got the symbiote suit. Can you say, "irony?"

F*CK YEAH CYPHER!!..... give us a civil war trilogy!! but suppose we will need avengers and all that first, which means by the time they are ready to do a civil war movie, alot of the actors would be too old! :(
