So speculate away...!
Robin The Boy Wonder
A Skrull Kill Krew TV series...? Why?!?
The Ant Man movie stands a very good chance of being made and, from what I read in last month's Empire, the leading character may be Scott Lang rather than Hank Pym.
As for Thor, this is likely to be a complete departure from the typical super-hero movie and may well focus completely on his life in Asgard.
I wonder if anyone has noticed The Avengers movie yet...? When the project was first announced several months ago, the idea behind it was to release the Captain America, Iron Man and Thor movies first... perhaps so that they can set-up an Avengers movie...?
Oh... and does anyone feel as if Marvel are going into movie overload with their characters...? As I said before, why not just let me and Joss Whedon write an X-Men TV series?!?
