With Marvel’s Iron Man already in theaters it’s no surprise that the company is already looking towards future endeavors. Generating a hefty $201 million dollars globally to day and securing titles such as ’second-best non-sequel film debut ever’, Iron Man’s launch was a successful one to say the least.

Well, to capitalize on the first movies success, Marvel has announced that there will in fact be a ‘Iron Man 2‘ and it is currently planned to hit the big screen on April 30th, 2010. Also having said that the success ‘firmly establishes Iron Man as a major new film franchise’, which means that we are likely to see an Iron Man 3, 4 , 5 etc etc a la Spiderman.
