    Marvel Studios only made IRONMAN & HULK. FF2 & PUNISHER were just 'in association', that's why they had a different feel to IRONM & HULK.
    THOR has some hope with Kenneth Branghan directing & Marvel on their own.

    Sweet, I can't wait for this. The last Punisher was at least close to the source material Superman. The first one was retched.

    Hopefully marvel churns out another great flick from their own production house...the Punisher sequel was a turn in the wrong direction...Thor could be very good...didn't care for the comic growing up...just his role on the Avengers.

    For some reason I can't see Anthony would do such a thing unless he's hard up on money.
    If that's the case, then do it.

    Read the screenplay, it's brilliant. It makes it even better that Kenneth Branagh the greatest thespian is directing it. The comics are great.

    No f*cking sh*t there's an Avengers tie-in. Brilliant deduction.

    No clue how this will turn out. Branagh will either make it great or will make it too melodramatic with no action. 50/50
