Iron Man 2 Iron Man sequel now officially set for April 30th 2010!

[Arthas]

yea.......

So what happens to poor old Narnia 3? I thought they bookmarked May 7th... to bad Narnia 2 flopped. But I think Disney has Prince of Persia slated for May 2010 as well... don't know why they want to overcrowd one month like that. Narnia will probably go to the Holiday season.

Narnia 3 should go back to the holiday season where it belongs. Makes no sense to put Narnia 3 in May where it failed.

Tonie, May is ALWAYS overcrowded. It has been for many years.

2008 you had Iron Man, Speed Racer, Narnia, and Indiana Jones all in May. Next year same thing.

2007 you had Shrek 3, Spidey 3, and Pirates 3 all in may. All made over $300 million US. Spidey 3 and Pirates 3 both made over $900 million worldwide.

Has anyone noticed the Captain America "cameo" in TIH yet? Or is that old news?

I'm not 100% sure where to post this, but shooting (shooting with Downey, anyway) begins in March.

It's an even safer bet that they'll line up for Iron Man 2, which the actor starts shooting this March for an April 2010 release. After that, he'll play Stark again, this time in The Avengers, a synergistic superhero ensemble project Marvel Comics has in the pipeline for summer 2011.

The whole article is a really good read, actually.

LMAO at some of the quotes:







Seriously, they should move Narnia to December if they want a chance at success.

This one made me laugh:

"Noooo. I HATE hiow the always take advantage of the Narnia films. They always have to try to blow it. All because of stupid money. Iron Man is release because they want money, which they don't need. What would they do with it if they had it? Narnia needs it because they need to continue to make the series. The money they get from the movies goes to the next movie. Iron Man isn't getting money so that they can make another one. I hate it when they do that. arrrgh"

are you sure ur not over exagerating?

maybe it's just me, but I like both movies and want both to do well. I guess narnia does need more help in the money department, but I still like IM better.

I think you need to read my post again.

This one is my favorite of those Narnia comments

Remember everyone, PC knocked Iron Man I out of its place big time once it came out, and so many families will love seeing VODT instead of Iron Man II..... still, the dates will very likely change!

 

[I Am The Knight]

Oh no, they are delusional already

 

[Superhero 101]

Is this coming in May or April?

I meant peoples complaints might not be as ridiculous as you thought.

May 7th

I think you're putting words in my mouth.

when did I do that? wait, did some1 actually say...

or where you paraphrasing? cause I didn't see a quote box, so I wasn't sure?

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Yes, somebody actually did say that. I cut and paste and just put quotation marks at the beginning and end.

oh snap. sorry then. Why do the narnia fanatics have to give the fans a bad name all of the sudden? now I know hwat it's like to like star trek.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Np, I've nothing against Narnia, every series has its share of wackos.

 

[scatterax]

ya, the narnia movies are good. how come people can't watch narnia w/o comparing it to LotR or harry potter, yet when people watch iron man they recognize the differences between it and batman better and enjoy it more?

(not more than batman, just more than they would if the kept telling themselve batman was so much better.)

 

[The Squirrel]

This might have been stated, but if the Hulk is in the movie. It could just be the opening sequence, where Tony and Shield are called in to stop his rampage. And then the movie goes on its merry way with the alcoholism and the Mandarin.

 

[FaT_tONle]

Iron Man II will be huge IMO... there is nothing brewing on the 2010 horizon right now... after the Holiday season next year there will be nothing on the landscape... maybe Cloverfield 2 ... people are accustomed to the big Marvel movie opening in May. Wolverine and 2009 in general will be a big let down and people will definitely flock for more Iron Man when it finally comes along. I am hoping for a 140 mil OW... 400 total.

 

[hatebox]

^ As I've mentioned elsewhere - don't count on IM2 doing much better than the first. SM2 was clearly a better film than SM1 and got better reviews, yet didn't do as well domestically.

The only way IM2 would do significantly better box office (domestically at least) than IM is if like TDK it a very different film to its predecessor. Otherwise it simply won't attract an audience beyond what it got the first time...

 

[Silverglade]

Iron Man II filming begins in April 2009. And that is really soon. In a few months we will be getting set pics and spy pics. Time flies!

Unless you're talking about the Twilight fans, in which case they are all wackos. Fact.

I hope it isn't too different, otherwise it will alienate its core audience.

 

[Chewy]

Can this thread get a title change? The movie was moved forward by a week a couple of months ago...

 

[kyuubijavi1]

I'm liking what I'm hearing about IM2 but.. it sounds extremely crowded to me right now. Two villains Mandarin might appear along with the Hulk, Thor and other cameo's? Oh well this and Cap are the two big movies I'm expecting from Marvel.
