* Nick Fury (2008)
* Ant-Man (2008) - In February 2007, director Edgar Wright said that the project was in "a holding pattern" while the script was revised, with casting yet to begin. The director reported that he would have news for the film in a few months. He has been researching nanotechnology for the film.
* Wolverine (2008) - The script was finished as of October 15, 2006, and Jackman indicated there would be a year before shooting. Vinnie Jones and Tyler Mane may reprise their roles as the Juggernaut and Sabretooth, respectively. Twentieth Century Foxare scheduling Jackman to start filming in September or October 2007 once he completes Australia, for a 2008 release.
* Deathlok (2008) - In 2007, a Deathlok feature film is at the script stage at Paramount Pictures, with screenwriter David Self.
* Sub-Mariner (2008) - On September 13, 2006, Universal Pictures announced that director Jonathan Mostow was attached to rewrite and direct Marvel Studios' Sub-Mariner. Kevin Misher is producing through his Misher Films, along with Marvel Studios. The screenplay had initially been written by David Self.
* Luke Cage (2008) - No stars have been confirmed, however actor Tyrese Gibson is in the running for the title role.
* Dr. Strange
* Ghost Rider 2 (2009) - On February 9, 2007, Marvel producer Avi Arad announced the development of Ghost Rider 2 at a press event.
* Magneto (2009) - In May 2006, Ian McKellen said he would reprise the role using the computer-generated facelift applied to him in the prologue of X-Men: The Last Stand. In April 2007, David S. Goyer was hired to direct, with the announcement actors in their twenties would play the characters. Goyer will use the script by Turner, which follows Magneto trying to survive in Auschwitz, and meeting Xavier, a soldier, during the liberation of the camp. He hunts down the Nazi war criminals that tortured him, and this lust for vengeance turns him and Xavier into enemies.
* The Avengers (2009) - It was revealed in early August 2006 by a stock market report that The Avengers was listed under Marvel films in development. It was later revealed that Zak Penn, writer of X-Men: The Last Stand, will be writing a live-action Avengers script.
* Thor (2009) - In mid-2006, Marvel Studios announced plans to release a Thor feature film scripted by Mark Protosevich. Matthew Vaughn was negotiated with to direct in 2007.
* Captain America (2009) - In 2007, Marvel Studios president of production Kevin Feige announced that a Captain America movie would follow the 2008 Iron Man film as the studio's next independently financed project.
* Spiderman 4 (2009) - In January 2007, Dylan Baker, who portrays Dr. Curt Connors, expressed interest in portraying the character's villainous alter-ego, the Lizard, as has Raimi. Producer Grant Curtis is also a fan of the character, and has also expressed interest in Kraven the Hunter. The Lizard was in an early draft of the second film's script. Raimi said that if he returned to direct, he would take advantage of the established character of Dr. Curt Connors to introduce the Lizard. Raimi also expressed interest in setting up the Sinister Six with introductions to the Vulture and Electro. Sony plans to release Spider-Man 4 in the summer of 2010.
