Sony and Marvel Entertainment will open “Spider-Man 4″ on May 6, 2011.

Opening date was announced as Marvel made a number of adjustments to its release calendar.

“The Avengers” is being pushed back from July 15, 2011 to May 4, 2012.

In a build-up to “Avengers,” Marvel is moving back the release of “The First Avenger: Captain America” from May 6, 2011 to July 22, 2011.

“Thor” is likewise moving, from July 16, 2010 to June 17, 2011.

“Iron Man 2’s” release date of May 7, 2010 remains unchanged.

This doesn’t surprise me, Spider-man and Iron Man is a sure thing. Plus this gets all the familiar heroes starting the momentum for the others that haven’t been introduced in a movie format as of yet. It looks like 2011 will be the Year of the Heroes.
