A new report indicates that, in addition to the previously mentioned Doctor Strange, Iron Fist, Black Panther and Runaway projects, Marvel has scripts for a Blade reboot and a Captain Marvel feature.
Screenwriter Drew Pearce reveals that Marvel’s Runaways was put on hold so the studio could focus on The Avengers. Now he says, “fingers crossed,” the movie could begin production in 2012.
If Kevin Feige’s recent interview is to be believed, Marvel Studios is already hard at work on their fourth wave of movies – After the first wave of Iron Man and Incredible Hulk, second wave of Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger and Avengers and the mysterious third wave of Runaways, Ant Man and whatever else may be in the pipeline. The problem? Well, the size of this new range, for one thing.
Marvel Studios reportedly has slowed down production of Runaways, deciding to take its time on the big-screen adaptation of the comic created by Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona. Filming had been set to begin in January.

An open call has gone out for the six lead roles in Runaways, the Marvel Studios adaptation of the comic created in 2003 by Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona. Filming is set to begin in January, with Peter Sollett (Nick And Nora’s Infinite Playlist) directing.
