According to Marvel Entertainment's latest quarterly financial report, the two games will arrive alongside their movie counterparts in 2011. Though originally announced in April of 2007, it seems Marvel will attempt to capitalize on the larger fan base the two movies will undoubtedly bring in.
This will be the first headlining game and movie for Marvel's character Thor; whereas Captain America had a direct to video movie released in 1990 and a non-related game titled
Captain America and the Avengers.
Sega is responsible for handling Marvel's other movie based games
Iron Man and
The Incredible Hulk and the soon to be release
Iron Man 2. Though Sega is the most likely candidate to have a hand in a future
Avengers game, a formal announcement has yet to be made.

Marvel goes out of it's way to trademark the character Iron Fist for video game use.
The trademark could be used in various aspects (toys and action figures, animated feature, or a solo game for example). Could this mean an Iron Fist movie or video game is in the works?
