Recent Marvel Comics movie adaptation release dates
I’m looking forward to The Amazing Spider-Man, even if it’s going to recycle what we’ve seen before, and I’m oddly excited for The Wolverine, even though the last movie was terrible. I’m still uncertain about The Avengers, despite the massive buzz – I just don’t see how a movie with so many big stars and characters will work in synergy. Iron Man and The Hulk side by side? And Thor? Really?
