After the release of Iron Man, which is due out in theaters and as a video game next week, what’s next for the future of Marvel? Speaking in an interview with the Times Online, president of Marvel Entertainment International Simon Phillips stated that it will soon unearth details on a new series of films that will star several of its popular comic book characters. Interestingly, but not surprisingly, there will be a game based on the films.

There will be an announcement imminently on our new slate of movies. We need to green-light movies early enough to give our video games partners enough time to create a game to be launched at around the same time as the film. We are a company driven by consumer products.

The Times piece goes on to speculate that heroes Thor, Captain America, Ant-Man, Black Panther and the Avengers may make an appearance in the upcoming films. No specific time frame for the announcement was given.
