Marvel Update: The latest on Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America, and The Avengers

Iron Man 2 Marvel's president of production, Kevin Feige, said at the “Produced By” 2009 conference that they really wanted to carry over the sense of humor and the tone from the first movie. It was that tone that was so hard to achieve the first time, but it turned out great. In the second movie they want to add more characters and see if they can up the action without losing the tone already set. The majority of the dialogue has already been shot and the next six weeks will be devoted to upping the action.

Thor Feige also said that Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston are officially in the cast of Thor. He said that Hiddleston, who plays the villain Loki, will be portraying a classic villain that could be in many films to come and provide the hero a challenge while also being a mirror of that hero himself. He also confirmed that Thor will take place on both modern Earth and other worlds like Asgard. Feige also relieved the minds of many when he said that director Kenneth Branagh wouldn’t let them use classic Shakespearian dialogue like that used in the comics.

The release of the films, Iron Man 2, then Thor, then Captain America, then The Avengers (in the summer of 2012) is “ordered this way for a reason,” Feige said. He confirmed that Samuel Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston are signed on for multiple movies. Feige hinted that he wants audiences to feel the excitement of the comic book readers – ‘where characters make surprise appearances almost out of nowhere.’

The First Avenger: Captain America All comic fanatics know that Captain America takes place during WWII, and the movie will stay true to this. Feige said they want to make Captain America the “same level of fun” as Raiders of the Lost Ark, which was also set during that time period. And for all you Cap fans – it looks like Bucky will indeed be onboard. First thoughts were to make The Avengers animated because it involved so many characters, then they decided to introduce each hero in his own movie, then have them all come together in a big Avengers movie.

Its an exciting film to watch a film with these super heroes present!
