Extending their partnership, Paramount Pictures and Marvel Studios have announced an agreement under which the former will distribute Marvel’s next five self-produced films on a worldwide basis.

This deal includes theatrical distributions in foreign territories and will see Paramount handling Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers movies. Apparently, a second sequel to Iron Man is also included.

Marvel has hit gold with its recent films which have been doing very brisk business both locally and abroad. This year saw the release of Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk, both of which were well received.
