The Marvel Comic movies Thor and The Avengers have been delayed a year by the studio.

“Thor” will now release on June 17, 2011 (it had previously been scheduled for July 16, 2010), while “Avengers” will hit theaters May 4, 2012 (it had been slotted for July 15, 2011).

Execs did not offer a reason for the deferrals; Marvel Studios chairman David Maisel said only that the move “maximizes the visibility of our single character-focused films, leading to the highly anticipated release of the multicharacter ‘The Avengers’ film in 2012.”

2011 used to sound so futuristic, and now it’s only a couple years away.
