Here is some news from Marvel that came out of SDCC 2012 (Comic Con) about Thor 2 , Iron Man, Captain America , Ant Man with a little digging from other places like Wikipedidia on extra tid bits.
So lets get to it . Marvel has announced in a press release the plot of Thor: The Dark World which is to be released on November 8, 2013 in both 3D and 2D formats. The official plot is as thus.
Marvel’s “Thor: The Dark World” continues the big screen adventures of Thor, the Mighty Avenger, as he battles to save Earth and all the Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself. In the aftermath of Marvel’s “Thor” and “Marvel’s The Avengers,” Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos…but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all.
Iron Man 3 also going to be released in 3D and 2D and I will go out on a sarcastic limb by saying every one of these films on this list will be also released in both formats so wi will not mention it again. Is set to be released on May 3, 2013. Which will be the first in the film franchise to introduce The Mandarin played by Ben Kingsley. Other cast members and their parts are as follows
Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark / Iron Man:
A billionaire who escaped captivity with a suit of armor he created, who now struggles to keep his technology in the right hands. On making a third Iron Man film, Downey replied “My sense of it is that we need to leave it all on the field — whatever that means in the end. You can pick several different points of departure for that.”Downey, who had previously starred in Black’s film Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, said “Bringing in Shane Black to write and direct Iron Man 3 to me is basically the only transition from Favreau to a ‘next thing’ that Favreau and the audience and Marvel and I could ever actually sign off on.” On following up The Avengers, Downey said that they “tried to be practical, in a post-Avengers world. What are his challenges now? What are some limitations that might be placed on him? And what sort of threat would have him, as usual, ignore those limitations?”
Gwyneth Paltrow as Virginia “Pepper” Potts: Stark’s girlfriend, longtime associate and personal assistant.
Don Cheadle as USAF Lt. Col. James “Rhodey” Rhodes / War Machine:
Stark’s best friend, the liaison between Stark Industries and the U.S. Air Force in the department of acquisitions and the operator of the War Machine armor.Asked whether his character would wear armor in the film, Cheadle stated “I do suit up. There are some different iterations that War Machine goes through, in this film. I don’t want to give them away, but it’s fun to see those things morph and shift.” Rhodes’ armor will take on an American flag-inspired color scheme in the film, similar to the Iron Patriot armor from the comics.
Ben Kingsley as The Mandarin:
The leader of a terrorist organization, and Iron Man’s archenemy. Kingsley was filming Ender’s Game when he was cast, and said that “Quite soon I’ll be with everybody and we’ll be discussing the look and the feel and the direction of the character. It’s very early days yet, but I’m so thrilled to be on board.”
Guy Pearce as Aldrich Killian:
The creator of the Extremis virus. On why he took the role, Pearce said “I feel a little more experimental in what I’ll take on these days, but I still don’t know that I would want to play the superhero myself, since I’m playing a different kind of character in this film… The main difference was that, when I did The Time Machine, I was pretty much in all of it, so it was a really grueling experience. Prometheus and Iron Man are really kind of cameo stuff, so the experience of shooting them… I mean, on some level, it’s tricky because you feel like a bit of an outsider. You don’t really live the experience that you do when you’re there all day every day with everybody. But at the same time, it can be more fun sometimes because you’re just working in concentrated spurts.”
Rebecca Hall as Dr. Maya Hansen:
One of the Extremis creators. Hall confirmed that Hansen would be a “strong female character” in the film, and described her decision to take the role, saying “I decided to do Iron Man 3 because I’ve never done the ‘hurry up and wait’ movie before. Even the studio movies I’ve done have been small studio movies, or indie films that we made on a wing and a prayer. I love those, but Iron Man is refreshing in a way because it’s something out of my realm of experiences.”
James Badge Dale as Eric Savin / Coldblood
Ashley Hamilton as Jack Taggert / Firepower
Wang Xueqi as Chen Lu
Jon Favreau and Paul Bettany will reprise their roles from previous films as Happy Hogan and JARVIS, respectively, and Stan Lee will have a cameo. William Sadler and Stephanie Szostak were also cast in unspecified roles.

Guardians of the Galaxy

This is one of those rare times that I really do not know much of a Marvel Universe comic team. I have heard of them before but never really bothered to pick up a comic that had them. So bare with me on this . The film is based on Marvel and Disney’s attempt to develop lesser known comic books into movies. The short plot summery which I got from Marvel Wiki page is as follows.
The plot of will be about “A U.S. pilot who ends up in space in the middle of a universal conflict and goes on the run with futuristic ex-cons who have something everyone wants.” The U.S. pilot in question will most likely be Peter Quill aka Star-Lord.
It will be an adaptation of The Thanos Imperative.
The film will focus on Star-Lord, Gamora and Drax The Destroyer.
Gamora ties to both Adam Warlock and Nova.
