Having made a huge dent at the box office with its summer superhero adventure âThe Avengersâ (which has sold more than $1.5 billion in tickets globally), Walt Disney on Monday announced an updated release calendar that was heavy on Marvel Comics characters and packed with enough colorful costumes to put David Bowie's wardrobe to shame.
The studio said that âIron Man 3,â the latest installment to feature that armored warrior played by Robert Downey Jr., would be released in 3-D; that film was already scheduled for a May 3 release. It will be followed on Nov. 8 by a sequel to âThor,â which is now officially titled âThor: The Dark World.â Comics fans can then look forward to the 2014 releases of âCaptain America: The Winter Soldierâ (on April 4 of that year) and âGuardians of the Galaxyâ (on Aug. 1), about the cosmic team whose members include an anthropomorphized raccoon. And mark your calendars now for the Nov. 6, 2015, opening date of âAnt -Man,â about the pocket-sized hero who can walk, talk, grunt, squeak and squawk with the insects.
Other updated release dates include an unnamed Pixar movie on Nov. 25, 2015. The biographical film âSaving Mr. Banksâ has been set for Dec. 20, 2013, and will star Tom Hanks as Walt Disney, whose superpowers included the ability to grow a really swell mustache.
