With the golden year of comic book movies quickly approaching in 2011, I personally have begun to wonder about when the official trailers will start hitting theaters. Green Lantern of course has already been confirmed to be appearing before Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part one.
Already confirmed to be tied together.
But what about the Marvel movies? When could we start seeing the trailers for Thor and Captain America? This is the best of what I could come up with. Follow my reasoning here:
1. Disney now owns Marvel so obviously they will want to boost their own movies as much as possible, as fanboys (like me) will go to a movie just to see the trailer on the big screen.
2. From Marvel's perspective they want their trailers before movies that a lot of people will see thereby providing them the maximum exposure possible. That being the case there are a couple of movies coming out that make really good sense and would be excellent fits.
With Thor being the first movie coming out and it's release date quickly approaching (May 6, 2011)only one movie makes sense:
With Narnia being one of Disney's biggest current franchises, and the fact that it hits the right targeted age group, it is the perfect movie that makes sense to feature the trailer for Thor. Timing wise it also makes sense as it needs to come out before anything with Captain America in it so the movie can generate its own interest. Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Trader comes out December 10, 2010.
As for a Captain America trailer it is a little more of a guess as we really don't know when clips of the movie will be far enough along to make a full length trailer. My best guess is a teaser trailer will be in a December release of a movie that really is way to obvious.
Of course the movie that easilly would be the logical choice is:
Tron would be a great fit for having something with Captain America in it, of course it would also work just as well for Thor. I can't imagine both movies being tied to one movie but a full length Thor trailer and a teaser Captain America trailer would not be out of the realm of possibility. Tron comes out December 17, 2010. This is the best speculative guesses I could put together. All I know is I can't wait for next year! Let me know what you think! - GD
