The Avengers 2 release date has now been confirmed to be May 1, 2015. Here's the short -- but very official! -- statement from Disney/Marvel:

"The Walt Disney Studios has announced a release date for Marvel Studios’ sequel to the biggest Super Hero blockbuster and third highest grossing film of all time, Marvel’s The Avengers. Joss Whedon returns to write and direct the UNTITLED MARVEL’S AVENGERS SEQUEL set for release May 1, 2015."Note the "untitled" part...Now that Joss Whedon is back in the saddle to write and direct The Avengers 2 , the question of when we'll get to see the sequel is inevitable.

Or should you? We reached out to Disney-Marvel to see if this date was correct, but the only response we received was a "no comment." Take that as you like… either the studio has nothing to say on the matter, or they can't say anything because MTV got it right!But 2015? That's like three years from now. Can't Joss and the gang crank out an Avengers 1.5 by, like, next Tuesday. Please?
