Marvel Studios has signed a five picture worldwide distribution deal with Paramount Pictures, for its next five films. Paramount will distribute the following five films:

Iron Man 2 (May 7, 2010)

Thor (July 16, 2010)

The First Avenger: Captain America (May 6, 2011)

The Avengers (July 15, 2011)

Iron Man 3 (unscheduled).

This deal is a amazing thing for fans of Marvel Studios as it sets up what will hopefully be repeated success for the next few years, starting in 2010!

Marvel also announced today that Paramount had paid $60 million in early revenue from this year’s Iron Man; the payment hadn’t been expected until 2009. The early payment caused Marvel to raise its film unit’s 2008 projection by that same $60 million, although it doesn’t change the long-term outlook for the revenues from Iron Man.

It appears that the age of Marvel is upon us True Believers!
