Thor 2 now has an official release date of November 8, 2013 with the same cast returning (i.e. Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Hopkins and Natalie Portman). There's also a new director, Alan Taylor (Game of Thrones) and a new villain (Mads Mikkelsen).
Meanwhile Matthew Vaughn will be returning to Marvel's merry mutants with X-Men First Class 2. I'm assuming this would still be released by 20th Century Fox. The bad news? The sequel to the surprise hit from last year has a release date of July 18, 2014.
Other movies that are currently in the funnel include:
Planet of the Apes 2 more appropriately named Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (May 23, 2014). The movie will still feature Andy Serkis as Caesar with director Rupert Wyatt. The writer for the film? Scott Z the same guy who gave us Contagion.
