Update! Marvel confirms Thor and Captain America Games in 2011. . . and possibly Iron Fist?

Sega will produce Marvel's two blockbuster movie tie-in video games.
According to Marvel Entertainment's latest quarterly financial report, the two games will arrive alongside their movie counterparts in 2011. Though originally announced in April of 2007, it seems Marvel will attempt to capitalize on the larger fan base the two movies will undoubtedly bring in.



This will be the first headlining game and movie for Marvel's character Thor; whereas Captain America had a direct to video movie released in 1990 and a non-related game titled Captain America and the Avengers.

Sega is responsible for handling Marvel's other movie based games Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk and the soon to be release Iron Man 2. Though Sega is the most likely candidate to have a hand in a future Avengers game, a formal announcement has yet to be made.

Information courtesy of Game Spot

Marvel goes out of it's way to trademark the character Iron Fist for video game use.

The trademark could be used in various aspects (toys and action figures, animated feature, or a solo game for example). Could this mean an Iron Fist movie or video game is in the works?

What do you think?

They should have announced who would play Captain America first.

Great news!! If the film is primarily set in Asgard, the game will be so much better.
Imran - 11/3/2009, 4:03 PM
Well, I find it hard to get excited after the terrible Iron Man game Sega made when the last movie came out but Id be a liar to say I wont buy these anyway just to play as Cap and Thor, lol!!
JoshW - 11/3/2009, 4:06 PM
no comic video game was worse than the Hellboy game that was released
SHHH - 11/3/2009, 4:11 PM
should be fun i think thor will be a better game than film
Legendaryssj - 11/3/2009, 4:14 PM
movie-video game tie ins suck no matter the material. they should just stop making them
lvlheaded - 11/3/2009, 4:16 PM
SEGA!

Jebus, they still make games? I still miss sega hockey.
BillyBlack - 11/3/2009, 4:16 PM
@lvlheaded. I thought Wolverine was pretty good, well better than the movie at least haha
Imran - 11/3/2009, 4:21 PM
BillyBlack-
That's pretty much ALL they do now. I don't think they make hardware anymore like kiosk games and consoles.
Phinehas - 11/3/2009, 4:27 PM
I beg to differ shh, superman 64 takes the cake in my mind. You had to hold down like four buttons to get him airborne and then somehow manage the joystick to control it. The best part of the game was the box, it was all blue with the big S on it.
thwhtGuardian - 11/3/2009, 4:31 PM
All those who think the games will suck say I.

I
InTylerWeTrust82 - 11/3/2009, 4:51 PM
I

Although I hop the thor game will be good, i loved the asguard level in the first ultimate alliance.
thwhtGuardian - 11/3/2009, 5:03 PM
Superman 64 was the worst comic book video game.

Others would be Batman: Dark Tomorrow, Iron Man, the 2 Fantastic Four games (both matching the sh*t quality of the movies), Ghost Rider (also matching the sh*t quality of the movie), and Aquaman.
InTylerWeTrust82 - 11/3/2009, 5:21 PM
i the last ironman game sucked hulk was way better and also teen titan was good they should make a second game to that
flames809 - 11/3/2009, 5:37 PM
lol aquaman had a game?
thwhtGuardian - 11/3/2009, 5:38 PM
these game better be good lol the only super heroe games iv played are spider man and spiderman 2 and that new batman game.

dragonquest67 - 11/3/2009, 6:10 PM
thwhtguardian: Unfortunately...
InTylerWeTrust82 - 11/3/2009, 6:11 PM
After the last Ironman game I have lost all hope for Sega movie related games. I would rather spend my money on a happy meal and get an Ironman toy. Sega does this solely for a quick buck and doesn't care whether the game is shit or not. Enough douchebags will buy it so they can keep making more crappy movie games.
TNTjesus - 11/3/2009, 6:24 PM
"We garuantee they won't suck...promise."
antz1104 - 11/3/2009, 6:52 PM
who the hell is going to play captain america!!!!!!!! the suspense is killing me
Torque - 11/3/2009, 7:03 PM
Sega?
SgtPeppersComics - 11/3/2009, 7:11 PM
wait a sec wasn't there an earlier article saying Marvel wouldn't be pumping out video games based on movies cause they always suck??!!
DegenX - 11/3/2009, 7:37 PM
iron fist = not cool
Torque - 11/3/2009, 7:41 PM
Tarantino should do Luke Cage & Iron Fist
80sFace - 11/3/2009, 7:44 PM
I bet Aquaman would be cool, if it had the right visionary direction added to it.

Phinehas - 11/3/2009, 7:49 PM
I'm not usually a fan of superhero-movie games. Spider-Man 2 was good, and Batman Begins was fun for a little bit before it got boring. The first Fantastic Four game and the X-Men 3 game just sucked. Captain America seems like it would be fun. Not so sure about Thor or Iron Fist...
SithforHire - 11/3/2009, 9:08 PM
Ray Park for Iron fist!!!!!!!
DTLSinger - 11/3/2009, 10:08 PM
HOLY BALLS THIS IS AWESOME!
MovieTheaterLad - 11/3/2009, 10:47 PM
Aquaman is....well I dont even wanna say cause I dont want to start a flame war
TheColonel - 11/4/2009, 1:15 AM
I really enjoyed playing as Iron Fist in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 so a solo game for that character could be pretty fun...a movie though? Hell yeah!!!
JoshW - 11/4/2009, 5:18 AM
I'm down because it seems the only games I play any more are sports, wrestling, mma, and comic book related games. This will just be another reason for me to be shitty at my job and gain a few pounds, in soda and potato chips. heh heh heh.

I've read some of the Immortal Iron Fist graphic novels. Amazing, I love the character. He's probably one of the most underrated character in all of comic books. I might be Iron Fist next halloween. Or next March on a weekend sometime whichever feels right.

When it comes to Aquaman, I think after he lost his hand, went through that crazy spell, and started to look like a deep sea Conan the Barbarian in the comics he was pretty interesting. If you think about it, if you were the King of anything, you would act a little batty and give yourself just cause to do so.
FlashThompson - 11/4/2009, 5:39 AM
Boy, they announced the game and the movie is also comin' up fast, they'll need to call Jensen Ackles fast cause he'll need to do voice overs for the game before he starts filming ;P
Shaman - 11/4/2009, 5:49 AM
i thaught captain america didn't come out till 2012
captain0vell - 11/4/2009, 6:15 AM
david wenham for aquaman but as for iron fist...ray park is my fave but can he act and will we accept this accent?...if not then scott speedman is the ideal danny rand..id love for luke cage to team up with him..aka mike jai white
Anil Rickly - 11/4/2009, 6:38 AM
Shaman: Very good point, lol! :D

captain0vell: As far as I know, we have Captain America, Thor and Spider-Man 4 in 2011 and the The Avengers in 2012 - thats all thats been confirmed so far as far as I know anyway!
JoshW - 11/4/2009, 7:01 AM
Anil- That's a damn good pick for Danny Rand actually!!! SCOTT SPEEDMAN FOR IRONFIST!!! Concider that on my sketch list!!! ;)
Shaman - 11/4/2009, 7:05 AM
Michael Jai White is always associated with African-American superheroes. I personally don't think he's a good enough actor for the role. Yeah, he's trained in MMA and can actually fight and stuff and that's cool. BUT in my eyes, you need more in my eyes to cast a fairly deep character than an okay actor who can actually fight. I personally would take Tyrese Gibson because he has mainstream appeal, he can act, and is great in action movies (ala Equalibrium and the Transformers movies). He'll be able to deliver in scenes where I don't think White will always be able to. I think you need a more main stream guy to play him because he's not that well known of a character in the first place. This will get people asking who he is and wanting to research the character if you get somebody like Tyrese in that role.
FlashThompson - 11/4/2009, 7:15 AM
Im not sure who I'd choose as Iron Fist but Erik King would make an awesome Luke Cage!!!

JoshW - 11/4/2009, 7:47 AM
Terry Crews for Luke Cage and Ray Park for Iron Fist!
icebergslick - 11/4/2009, 8:02 AM
Ice i will second that Crews and Park all the way
Stubbyswof - 11/4/2009, 8:09 AM
Joshw24@ The Dexter dude would be good for Cage, nice.
ClintEastwood - 11/4/2009, 8:28 AM
Crews and Speedman are the best choices for "Heroes for Hire"!
Shaman - 11/4/2009, 8:44 AM
josh@ Thats Taye Diggs in equilibrium not Tyrese.
90caliber - 11/4/2009, 8:55 AM
Oh yeah...My bad. I [frick]ed up on that one....
FlashThompson - 11/4/2009, 9:26 AM
90caliber- Yeah, Tyrese was 2Fart 2Flatulence and sucked at it.
Shaman - 11/4/2009, 9:27 AM
I THINK BOTH OF THOSE GAMES WILL SUCK, BUT I HAVE MORE FAITH IN THE THOR MOVIE...B/C OF THE LOTR SUCCESS...IM SORRY I NEVER LIKED IRON FIST
dellamorte1872 - 11/4/2009, 9:42 AM
90caliber: Huh? My picture is Erik King from Dexter!!!

JoshW - 11/4/2009, 9:45 AM
Yeah dude,

and Erik King can actually act!
BillyBlack - 11/4/2009, 11:15 AM
Josh- Actually, 90caliber's comment was "supposed" to be directed to flashthompson LOL
Shaman - 11/4/2009, 11:47 AM
Shaman: That explain a lot, lol - i was kind of confused there for a minute! :D

BillyBlack: Too right, lol!!!
JoshW - 11/4/2009, 12:55 PM
If I were to have Luke Cage and Iron Fist, it would be:

Terry Crews

And Cam Gigandet

MovieTheaterLad - 11/4/2009, 1:10 PM
when u read the luke cage depictions..esp the modern avengers...you wud see he is similar to mike jai white (a less hotheaded version of mason gamble from TDK)...that's why i picked him...not cuz im steroetypically pickin mj white as any black superhero...i cud pick taye, derek luke, lee thomson young etc...but mj white is closest to the modern luke cage that would make best for the big screen!!!!
Anil Rickly - 11/4/2009, 1:15 PM
Only choice for IRON FIST!!!

LEEE777 - 11/4/2009, 5:13 PM
ahhhhhhh bisto !
FrankCastle1 - 11/4/2009, 5:27 PM
MovieTheaterLad- Cam couldn't act convincingly if his life depended on it. He sucks ass. Anil Rickly is right, Scott Speedman is BY FREAKIN' FAR the best choice for Iron Fist!!!
Shaman - 11/5/2009, 7:52 AM
Josh Duhamel for Cap if Ackles cant cut it
ReyVan27 - 11/5/2009, 6:36 PM
