Marvel's first quarter report didn't just reveal the company's rapidly improving financial performance, it also laid out Marvel's film and videogame release schedule into next year. Topping this year's three Marvel movies (Daredevil, X2, and Hulk), in 2004 five movies based on Marvel properties will be released. Marvel's 2004 movie releases are as follow:

Punisher -- Summer 2004

Spider-Man II -- July 2, 2004

Iron Fist -- 2004

Fantastic Four -- 2004

Blade 3 -- 2004


Marvel has already started to hype Punisher, and Spider-Man is coming off its record-breaking performance last year. Blade has shown itself to be a solid, if limited, property. Iron Fist, while a minor property in the Marvel pantheon, has the potential to do significant dollars, and Fantastic Four has enough animation and comic exposure to do very well. The upshot is that the exposure Marvel's properties are going to get on the silver screen next year has the potential to increase Marvel's already booming sales even further.

Fantastic Four, huh? Do we have any concrete details on the principals, yet? I'd love someone to do it right, for a change. And yes, Roger Corman, I'm looking at YOU.

Punisher? Let's hope it's better than the last one...

The new Punisher looks to have blonde hair but he will have the skull shirt. I'm looking forward to Fantastic Four & Iron Fist. I heard that Iron Man script is being worked on.

George Clooney is in negotiations to play Mister Fantastic and Mark Frost (who wrote Twin Peaks) is working on the script.

Looks like The Mighty Thor will not be filmed, as it would have been a boost for Tyler Mane ("Sabretooth").

BTW, are the Toad (Ray Park) and Sabretooth (Tyler Mane) in the X2 movie?

Nope, I'm pretty sure they died in the first one

I don't know if they died in the first one but they didn't appear in the second one. Ray Park is doing Iron Fist.
