Marvel comics had their webcast today where they discussed their fourth quarter and full year operating results, including the fact that the trailer for TIH will be released sometime in March - although they didn't hint what films the trailer would be attached to.

Marvel also revealed some updated information about their upcoming in-house and licensed film projects (including The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Punisher: War Zone), as well as updating the status of some of their upcoming animated and stage projects.

Marvel's Chairman, Morton Handel, commented, "Marvel's Q4 and full year 2007 operating results reflected strong global demand for consumer products and entertainment based on our characters. We look forward to building on our success with the launch of our self-produced feature film slate and the debut of our first two feature films - Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk - this summer. Consumer excitement surrounding these projects is already significant and growing. Our approach to feature film production is an important new business opportunity for our company. The film slate will provide global exposure for our characters and the Marvel brand and drive growth across our businesses."
