− | Marvel has spent the last three years gearing up for its blowout all-star event "The Avengers", which arrives next Summer. Half of that superhero team had already been established in their own films (Hulk, Iron Man/Nick Fury/Black Widow), so they set up films for the other half here in 2011 (Thor, Lantern, Captain America). Of the three, its Hal Jordan's movie that has the highest expectations... but will that result in the highest gross?

− | Looks like this will be the funniest of Marvel's '11 trilogy, but I have to say I'm looking forward to the other two options a little bit more, myself. Plus, how unfair is it that Ryan Reynolds gets to be The Green Lantern ''and'' Deadpool within the same comic universe? Some people have all the luck! | + | Looks like this will be the funniest of Marvel's '11 trilogy, but I have to say I'm looking forward to the other two options a little bit more, myself.

− | Again, Marvel's putting all their eggs in this Avengers basket, and it looks like it could pay off for them. If Thor and Green Lantern find enough of an audience (and I think they will), people will probably want to check out the final piece of the Avenger puzzle as well. I also like the positioning for this release- yes it gets overshadowed by Potter at the start, but if reviews are favorable Captain America could stay in theaters all the way through the end of August since there will be no other AAA release to kick it out.

| Also, one more guess: I predict that 2011 will be the '''biggest Summer ever''' in terms of total gross at the box office, surpassing the record set back in 2007! | | Also, one more guess: I predict that 2011 will be the '''biggest Summer ever''' in terms of total gross at the box office, surpassing the record set back in 2007! |
