Sega has confirmed that the previously announced titles will hit consoles in sync with their big-screen outings

A recent Sega earnings report has revealed that, as first thought, a Thor game will surface in May 2011, with Captain America following suit in July the same year – exactly the same time as the respective films starring the Marvel heroes hit cinemas, in the US at least.

Not much is known about Cap, but Thor will be directed by Brit-thesp Kenneth Brannagh, and star Chris Hemsworth (Star Trek, and, er, Home & Away) and the lovely Natalie Portman. Which is great and everything, but we've not been overly keen on Sega's past efforts based on Marvel characters (see here and here for proof) – let's hope it can up its game.
