Thor, Captain America Sequels Confirmed

Neither Thor nor Captain America: The First Avenger has hit cinemas yet (although my world-exclusive review of the former is coming next Monday), but Marvel's Kevin Feige has confirmed that both will get sequels in the future. In an interview with IGN, the president of the film studio said that we can expect Thor to "go off into a new adventure" and the iconic Cap to "continue to explore the modern world [The First Avenger will for the most part take place in World War II, but in the comics the character was frozen until the 21st century to join the Avengers, an event likely to close the film]". And, apparently, that's not all..."Blackwidow, Hawkeye and S.H.I.E.L.D are all capable of carrying their own films. And we've got a lot of other characters we're prepping and getting ready for their film débuts: the world of martial arts, these great cosmic space fantasies, Dr. Strange, and the magic side of the Marvel Universe." It all sounds very exciting, but for now let's hope Thor (out next Wednesday), Captain America (July 22nd) and The Avengers (Summer 2012) live up to their potential!
