SUPERHEROES HELD BACK
Thor , the latest Marvel superhero to hit the screens, is being held back a year, Marvel Entertainment said today (Thursday). Originally scheduled for release in June 2010, it now won't hit the screens until July 2011. David Maisel, chairman of Marvel Studios, indicated in a statement that production problems were not the cause for the delay. Rather, he said, marketing issues were the primary consideration. Putting off the release for a year, he said, "maximizes the visibility of our single character-focused films, leading to the highly anticipated release of the multi-character The Avengers film in 2012." The Avengers is also being pushed back a year -- from July 2011 to May 2012. Marvel has no films set for release this year, but has scheduled Iron Man 2 for May 7, 2010.
