Activision has confirmed that it will extend its line of Marvel Superhero products with games based on The Fantastic Four and Iron Man. Under the terms of this latest agreement, Activision has acquired the worldwide rights to develop and publish related games on the PC and next-generation console platforms. Twentieth Century Fox is currently developing a Fantastic Four feature film, and New Line Cinema is currently planning a motion picture based on Iron Man. Both projects will be released in 2003/2004, and the related games should also be released in that time frame.

　　"Activision is thrilled to extend our relationship with Marvel by adding these phenomenally rich characters to our slate of established brands," said Greg Goldstein, vice president of brand development and licensing for Activision. "Both of these properties have entertained fans around the world in the form of comic books and other media for more than 35 years. We intend to take full advantage of current video game hardware technology to bring these iconic super heroes to life as never before."

　　Activision has already released games, and has upcoming products, featuring its Spider-Man, X-Men, and Blade licenses.
