Paramount and Marvel Entertainment have pushed up the release of "Thor" by two weeks to May 6, 2011.

"Thor" was originally set to open on May 20, 2011. No sooner did Paramount make its move than did

Disney has announced that May 20 will now be the release date for the long awaited "Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides." The fourth installment in the "Pirates" franchise.

This has all occured one day after Sony confirmed that filming of "Spider-Man 4" has been delayed because of script issues and that it may not make the May 6 deadline.


HAWK-I think that this a good thing, maybe this will make Sony get the lead out on the sequel

Whoa Iron Man 2 comes out a day and a year before Thor. Thats sweet.

Cant wait for Thor its going to be amazing. It's going to be the best CBM Marvel has ever made.

But i can wait for POTC 4. That will probably suck.

Green Lantern is going to be better than Thor though.

Multi, I'm torn between 2 but I'll say Ronin1013.

I think this delay is as much related to the PotC4 release as it is to the GL one. I enjoyed all the Pirate movies, even the extremely convoluted 3rd, they were... fun. I look forward to the next one.

Thor has never been one of my favored Marvel character, for the same reason many people think he won't translate into the movie franchises. He seemed too out of place, but eventually he grew on me and I can overlook the cliched, archaic manner in which he speaks. I'm more curious than anything about this movie.

is Jhonny depp returning for POTC4?

is marvel serious about Captain America?
DDD
DDD - 1/7/2010, 1:25 AM
Multi@ that article about Will Smith playing
Cap America, WHAT A BUNCH OF HORSE APPLES!

That idiot obviously is out of touch with who
Steve Rogers truly is! Its not a black & white
issue but it sure is with him! He might as
well said Bush was a neonazi and not a neo-
concervative! I'm quite a bit liberal with
a few conservative leanings but I don't care
about the politics of Cap America at all!

Cap America is Steve Rogers who just happens
to be white! The whole thing about Steve Rogers
desiring to volunteer for his country but
being rejected because he is too sickly is at the
core of Steve Roger's motivation. To have it some
kind of hideous experiment perpetrated on helpless
African Americans by the military is so wrong its
NOT FUNNY AT ALL!

Not that that kind of thing has never happened 'cause
it has but to put it in a Cap America movie is
criminally OFFENSIVE and a lie for Caps character!
I'd like to personally punch that moron right in the
face!!! What an effrontery to the Nation of The
UNITED States of America, the melding pot of diverse
nationalities! That guy is a traitor to the very idea
of Cap America!
DDD
DDD - 1/7/2010, 1:43 AM
Captain America does not believe only in
Truth Justice and the American way!
He believes in Truth and justice but
he also believes in the constitution
which is supposed to guarantee the
three things that idiot stated at
the end of his rant, liberty, equality
and freedom!

That moron said at the very end of his slanted piece:


"Seems to me that having Captain America be played by an
African-American symbolizes those ideals quite nicely. In
an era when we’ve seen our first African-American
President, why not also have our first African-American
Avenger?"


That is reverse discrimination! Plus there never was
an African American Steve Rogers, it was a different
person altogether as an African American Cap!

Why can't people just accept the way the story is
written with a tall blonde Caucasian man as Steve
Rogers as Cap America! I'm not a purist I'm a TRUEIST,
'cause having Steve Rogers any other way is a damm lie!!!
DDD
DDD - 1/7/2010, 1:54 AM
I don't care if they have Cap America a space
alien who has become an American citizen
in a second Cap America but for the first movie it MUST
be tall white blonde Steve Rogers or it is a complete
lie and a slap in the face of the creators of Steve Rogers,
an Iconic symbol for decades, just the way he is!

Great! The sooner I can see Thor the better, lol!! Cant say I care in the least about POTC4 though...the first one was great but I really didnt like the two after that!

DDD: Totally agree dude! :)
DDD
DDD - 1/7/2010, 4:16 AM
Consider me TOLD Sirprize@!

But I didn't mean it that way! :)

Discrimination is just plain silly!
I wouldn't think a writer in this day and time
would use a stupid argument like that!

Josh@ POTC is definitely getting pretty tired!

Multi: I believe this would be your post.

Pete 8 hours ago 3 people liked this.

Ummm, ok. Sorry to break it to you bud, but this really makes no sense.

1) Captain America is very well know worldwide. He is just as popular a character as Spider-Man or Wolverine.
2) Casting a black man to play Captain America will only come across as a politically correct move. That's it. There's no other way general audiences would look at it.
3)Will Smith has repeatedly denied any rumor that he was up for this role. He has even said that it would be unacceptable to have a black actor play the part.
4) The First Avenger: Captain America has already been confirmed to be a WWII period piece. It will not take place in modern times.

On another note, Marvel did not cast Tobey Maguire to play Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Sony did because they own the movie rights to that character.

You should really do your research before crapping something out just because the topic is popular.
