Get ready for ‘Iron Man’ sequel in 2010
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
How hot is “Iron Man”? Smokin’, my friends.
The movie’s not even been out a week and already Marvel’s film division has picked a date for the sequel: April 30, 2010. Which means the live-action comic book character will once again open Hollywood’s summer movie season.
Other Marvel films in the pipeline: “Thor” on June 4, 2010; “The First Avenger: Captain America” on May 6, 2011; and “The Avengers” (which teams Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, Captain America and Thor) in July 2011.
Final opening box-office tallies place “Iron Man” at $102.1 million in North America for Thursday-Sunday and at $198.2 million worldwide for Wednesday-Sunday.
And early indications are that “Iron Man” could finish No. 1 again this weekend against “Speed Racer.” “Iron Man” is playing in more than 4,100 theaters while “Speed Racer” will debut in about 3,600.
Are you stoked by Marvel’s sudden surge and its plans to bring more characters to the big screen?
