Title: Thor
Who's involved: Chris Hemsworth (George Kirk in J.J. Abram's Star Trek), Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins and Kat Dennings, with Kenneth Branagh directing. Ashley Miller (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Fringe) wrote the script.
What it is: Adaptation of the Marvel comic
Notes: Branagh is better known for directing Shakespeare than anything else, so a superhero film doesn't seem like an immediate match. But Thor does have Shakespearean overtones, so we don't see why this shouldn't work out well. Plus, the trailer looked very promising.
Release Date: May 6, 2011

Title: Green Lantern
Who's involved: Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard and Mark Strong. Martin Campbell is directing.
What it is: Adaptation of the DC comic
Notes: Campbell's GoldenEye was pretty sweet, right? Not sure the same can be said for Edge of Darkness, but he definitely has experience making action movies, so that's promising. And this is another one with "good buzz" coming out of Comic-Con. We're there.
Release Date: June 17, 2011
