Marvel is the creator of the world’s boldest superheroes, Iron Man, Wolverine and the X-Men gang, The Incredible Hulk, Spiderman and others; marvel comic book enthusiasts should feel safe knowing they’re in such good company and they should also be aware that Marvel Studios prolonged its contract with Paramount. After the fantastic success of Iron Man, extending their contract seemed to be the logical choice.

The people at Marvel were very pleased with the professionalism the company managed to distribute the movie, making it a box office success.

Superhero movies have become closer to reality, trying to deal with social problems and also making the super powered heroes more human. Marvel announced the release of Iron Man 2 (May 7, 2010), Thor (July 16, 2010), Captain America (2011), The Avengers (2011) and have also announced that Iron Man 3 will see the light of day, though the release date cannot be specified. All of these movies are to be distributed worldwide by Paramount Pictures, including in key markets such as Japan, France, Germany, Spain, Australia and New Zealand.

The new agreement Marvel has with Paramount states that the distributing company will now benefit from 8% of the movies’ profits, instead of the 10% they had with Iron Man. And because we’re talking numbers, you should know that Iron Man’s worldwide success cashed in about $300 million at the domestic box office, making the newly signed contract a sure win for both parties.

Buckle up and prepare to be amazed! Whether you’re a superhero admirer, who has always dreamed to fight crime and the forces of evil as the sidekick of some comic book ultra man, or just somebody looking for some action packed movies, worry no more! Marvel has in store some great movies for you and Paramount will deliver!
