Iron Man 2, Thor announced for 2010

While the X-men movies had multiple villains, they had the advantage of being linked. The first movie's villain was mainly Magneto, who used a couple of henchmen as well - but Sabertooth and Toad were mainly just muscle. In the second movie, you add Stryker as the main villain - but keep Magneto on. That's a good way to do it, because the audience already knows who Magneto is. The third movie added even more bad guy mutants - and didn't work out so well.Felon said:

Any problems with SR--and I'll admit there were quite a few, though I liked more about the movie than I disliked--were absolutely not related to the main cast. As long as they can tighten up the scripts and add more action, I'll be happy to see Brandon Routh in the part until he's physically too old to strap on the cape.
And in fact, Routh's performance was one of the aspects almost (and I stress almost) universally praised, even by those who didn't care for the movie as a whole.

For Cap I think they could go with either Brad Pitt or Matt Damon and pull it off.

Which also had both Kevin Spacey (an Oscar winner) as well as a proven track record of successes (previous Superman films- IV notwithstanding) and a director who had a lot of clout, especially after X-Men.
It also took many, many years and many, many rewrites before it ever saw the big screen. Not to mention how many actors, directors, etc. it went through before it finally landed on its final iteration.
A Captain America movie doesn't really have all of those things going for it. There isn't even a script for it at this point, to my knowledge.
It could be done- theoretically- with an unknown actor in the role, but generally speaking, that's not the way these things tend to go in Hollywood, so I'd be very surprised to see it happen.

Exactly - Absorbing Man can go toe-to-toe with Thor in a physical sense, that Loki would never be able to. AM can even absorb the Uru metal abilities from Thor's hammer. And Loki has intelligence and magical abilities that AM lacks.Felon said:
The only thing bad about AM is that a Marvel movie has already introduced a villain with similar powers, the Hulk's dad, and that fight was a bit boring.
As for the "who's going to play Cap" question, I'm anti-McConaughey. Maybe they should get the Rock!

I'd like to see Simonson's Surtur Saga played out on the big screen, but I'm not sure how well it would translate. It would definitely be epic though.
As far as Cap is concerned, I'd like to see someone a bit older play him. I think that would work well if they portray him as he is in The Ultimates, and really help to highlight his "Man out of his own time" concept. Maybe Chris Noth or Viggo Mortensen. Maybe even Josh Holloway or James Caviezel if you want a bit younger. I dunno, that's a tough one to cast.

Well, nobody saw the Hulk, and even fewer people remember any of it except for the mutant poodle. Didn't Nolte use his absorption powers to turn into water? Man, you use absorption powers to turn into mountains or skyscrapers or the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier!bento said:
