Thor/Captain America Release Dates Revealed

SEGA's track record with adapting Marvel films isn't exactly the best, with neither The Incredible Hulk nor Iron Man 2 going the extra mile to bring a superhero to the big screen in style, so all eyes are on the developer this Spring and Summer to see if an old dog can learn new tricks in Thor: God of Thunder and Captain America: Super Soldier. The former, taking place before the events of the film, is set on Thor's home planet of Asgard as his kindgom finds itself in the midst of an invasion and the hammer-wielding Norse hero must fight to defend his friends and family. God of Thunder will be released on May 3rd, just a few days after the April 28th début of the movie in the UK. Meanwhile, the latter title will be out on July 19th (one whole week before the flick, Captain America: The First Avenger, hits cinemas), its plot set during the WW2 patriot's rise to fame as Cap fights the Red Skull's minions in a Nazi-ruled castle that if left standing could mean the end for the Allies. Both tie-ins star their respective flicks' main actors, with Thor's Chris Hemworth at the head of God of Thunder and Chris Evans as Captain America in Super Soldier. The plots sound promising, but as I said SEGA aren't on the best terms with gamers for their past adaptations so you can await my reviews with trepidation in May and July...
