I just noticed that with the new Marvel Universe Avengers series of movies they will have 6 films; the same number of films which the X-Men series (a Marvel property produced by a separate film studio) will have in roughly the same time period (though the Avengers films will have come out in a much shorter amount of time):

Avengers Universe Films:
01 Iron Man (2008)
02 Iron Man 2 (2010)
03 The Incredible Hulk (2008)
04 Thor (2011)
05 Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
06 The Avengers (2012)

X-Men Universe Films:
01 X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
02 Wolverine 2 (2012)
03 X-Men: First Class (2011)
04 X-Men (2000)
05 X2: X-Men United (2003)
06 X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)

Each of these Marvel Universes should be congratulated for the amount of stories they've been able to tell (6 for each); previous Marvel Universes have died off at 3 entries (Blade, Spider-Man). D.C. Comic Film Series have made it to 4 entries with Batman & Superman. Each of these 6 installment Marvel Universes will likely expand beyond these installments. A sequel to 'X-Men: The Last Stand' & a spin-off for Deadpool (from "X-Men Origins: Wolverine") are in the works for instance. It's also likely we'll get an Iron Man 3, and Marvel is working to do smaller films with it's lesser known characters; these films could also take place in the Avengers Universe.
