Marvel Studios announced Monday it will release "Iron Man 2" on April 30, 2010, following the success of the first in the comic-book franchise, which pulled in $104.2 million domestically since opening last Thursday and $201 million worldwide.
Four other films based on Marvel superheroes also were announced: "Thor," due out June 4, 2010; "The First Avenger: Captain America," May 6, 2011; "The Avengers," July 2011; and "Ant-Man," which is in development but has no release date.
Marvel also has "The Incredible Hulk," starring Edward Norton, coming out June 13 from Universal Studios.
Just as Robert Downey Jr.'s character, Tony Stark, makes an appearance in next month's "The Incredible Hulk," the Hulk could turn up in "Iron Man 2," Marvel Studios Chairman David Maisel said during a conference call to discuss the company's earnings.
Downey and Gwyneth Paltrow have already signed on for the Iron Man sequel.
Iron Man was the first film financed by Marvel, which previously licensed its superheroes to Hollywood studios for such hits as the Spider-Man, X-men and Fantastic Four flicks.
