‘Iron Man 2’ means summer arrives earlier in 2010

Most sensible people think of summer as starting in June. For years in Hollywood, the summer movie season has meant May. Early May, fact.

But come 2010, the summer movie season will arrive even earlier.

“Iron Man 2” will debut in two years on April 30. That will mark the first time a major summer film has been released in April.

The way things are going I think I can look into my little crystal ball and see that in a few short years from now, the summer movie season will begin … and never end.

Hollywood already releases horror movies year-round. And more and more action films aimed at young male moviegoers in the fall and winter.

With Marvel now building highly successful comic-book movie franchises — “Iron Man,” “The Incredible Hulk,” the upcoming “Thor” and more — we could end up with endless super hero movies.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing? How many super-hero action movies do you want to see each year?
