The time is fast approaching for the releases most-awaited comic book movie adaptations and to be honest, I think this year is the biggest of them all because we've got 4 big named characters showing up in latex, spandex, gloves, and a toy hammers.
Marvel is really stepping it up and is continuing their Marvel Cinematic Universe by releasing two of their biggest characters on the silver screen, while DC has finally gave one emerald police his chance to shine. Plus the battle of car transforming robots will continue to wage on for the third time and one of comic's most iconic mutant teams will tell their own beginnings during the 1960s.
Here's the list of movies we've all been waiting for to get our eyes on (more movies after the jump):
(Now I'm wondering how am I going to watch all of these in theaters.. sheesh.)
Thor - May 6, 2011
Our Mjolnir-weilding thunder god's origins will finally be revealed after seeing his hammer at
the end of Iron Man 2.
Stars Chris Hemsworth as Thor and a recently knocked-up-by-a-ballet-dancer-but-still-hot Natalie Portman. Directed by Kenneth Branagh.

I think this is better than Marvel's official poster. |
X-Men: First Class - June 3, 2011
Another origin story for our favorite mutant team of all time set in the 1960s. Its going to be weird seeing
Charles Xavier with a load of hair on his feared telephatic head. Its
Wesley Gibson with uber-telekenetic powers baby!
Will star James McAvoy (Xavier), Michael Fessbender (Magneto), January Jones (Emma Frost) and a bunch of other guys that I don't know. Directed by Michael Vaughan.
