Sega inks mega-Marvel deal
In a press release on Reuters Sega has announced that it has signed a deal with Marvel Entertainment to obtain the rights for publishing videogames of Marvel Comic icons as Captain America, the Incredible Hulk and Thor.
Sega already had a deal about an Iron Man game, which they'll be releasing in 2008 on various platforms. As usual, these games tend to be released when the movie based on the same comic character gets out.

Sega has a developer at work on the "Hulk" game, which is expected to ship in conjunction with the June 2008 release of the Universal Pictures film starring Edward Norton as David Banner.
Simon Jeffery, president and COO of Sega of America, said all four games will be developed in North America. The "Iron Man" game, which is being developed internally at Sega, is using next-generation technology.
"It's a collaborative process," he said. "We work closely with Marvel Studios, with ('Iron Man' director) Jon Favreau and with the design and FX teams. It is vital that the game feels like the movie; it is being designed primarily on the next-gen gaming systems."
Part of that collaborative process will include incorporating film cast members into the game with likenesses and voice work. Marvel has worked with Activision to get key members from the 'Spider-Man' and 'X-Men' casts involved with voice acting for the games.

I reckon they should make a new film from scratch and forget the last film happened like Batman Begins.
