Iron Man 2, Avengers films and Spider-Man Musical?

Marvel released its list of upcoming projects. Included are the Iron Man sequel, an Avengers film, a Thor film, Capt. America film and Ant man. The upcoming DVD’s looking interesting. However I do find the idea of a Spider-man musical a little disturbing.

Below is the Marvel Studios upcoming projects list as retreived from the Marvel press release presented in Yahoo Finance.

    Iron Man was a practically flawless hero flick; its makers drop some pretty obvious sequel hints too… i’m thinking the next one should be equally great

    I agree, it was really the best adaptation of a comic book character to film I’ve seen. While I love the Batman and Spider-man films and the Superman films as well for the most part. They not as true to the source material as the Iron Man film. I’m looking forward to the sequels and the crossover storylines that appear to be planned with other Marvel films.
