Superhero Hype is reporting that certain theaters may be screening the much-anticipated Iron Man film on May 1, a day earlier than the release date Paramount has been touting.

Check with your local theaters, though, as not all will be doing the 8 p.m. May 1 showing. This big budget superhero flick serves as the official kickoff for the summer movie season. He’s the first comic book hero out of the gate but certainly not the last.  The Incredible Hulk, the sequel to/apology for Ang Lee’s ill-fated Hulk movie hits your local cineplexes June 13. The Dark Knight, second in a new line of Batman films is coming June 18. 

It looks to be a super summer and SFUniverse is bumping up our movie coverage to keep you posted on all the developments.
