Does anyone here have that Marvel wallpaper with all the characters?

Captain America? FUCK YES.
With Marvel dong their own movies and being very picky, I'm DYING to see this done right finally!
Make it a 2 parter with the first movie being all in WW2 and ending with him hitting the water....
DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
.....or make it all in WW2 with it leading right into the Avengers movie.

I still don't see how they can make Thor feasible in the same world as Iron Man and Captain America. He's just such an outlandish character that I don't know that audiences would buy him as an Avenger.

Me don't care, me just wanna see some Thor! Of course I won't be as happy if they do Thor as the Ultimates Thor where people aren't sure til the end whether he's a god, or just crazy.... <sigh> dammit why do I now think they will probably go that route to make the character fit more in the movie/real world reality.....

I think you just answered your own question. They have Batman and Superman. That's pretty much it.
I'm really digging this Marvel Studios thing. Iron Man was kickass, and if the rest of the moves are as faithful to the comic flavors of the source material while getting good directors and actors on board then it should be pretty awesome. If they play their cards right building up to the Avengers movie, that opening could be HUGE.
You mean in production? Yeah, that's such a shame... they have easily the stable of characters marvel does. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see Green Lantern, Metal Men, LOSH, Flash, WW, or JSA movies, not to mention the RIPE newer properties not even touched, like more of Vertigo (including the two obvious ones), Manhunter, Checkmate, etc.BenjaminBirdie said:
I guess that's the difference between Warner and Marvel. Warner wants to cull the guaranteed hits from DC (aka the trinity). Marvel will throw anything at the wall and see what sticks. Sure that gives us Ghost Rider and the average or so Fantastic Fours, but it also gives us Spider-Man, X-Men, and Iron Man. Overall a winning situation. Hopefully Warner takes lead from the new Marvel Studios and gets on the ball.
No shit. They could even do the ultimate no brainer, setup an origin movie for the character and mythos, and then head right into the Sinestro Corps Wars.DarienA said:
Without Marvel doing all these superhero flicks, I wonder where Hollywood would've gone for big summer movies this past decade. We probably wouldn't have had Batman Begins/The Dark Knight the way we know them now. Warner Bros. probably wouldn't have cared enough to buy the rights to Bone or Y: The Last Man (well it was New Line Cinema then). It's a nice little side effect.
agreed.. marvel played a really big part in the box office boom on the 00s. I mean you also had POTC, the prequel trilogy, and that other famous trilogy..AniHawk said:
but you are correct in that Marvel contributed probably over a billion dollars to the industry when all is said and done, and that amount looks like it might even be ramping up now.

I was thinking that there wouldn't be an Iron Man 2. I wonder what villain they could have that would not totally suck.

Why wouldn't Watchmen count?

DC is putting out awesome animated features like The New Frontier and Gotham Knight.

I think what people mean (or at least what I think they mean) is that Spiderman 3 has got to be the most disappointing superhero movie ever. Not the worst but the most disappointing, definitely. There was so much potential and the trailers were so good. And then after the film is done and the credits are scrolling, you're thinking "WTF was that shit?". It's like playing DMC2 all over again.

Mandarin could work... just change him from a magic character to something a little more tech based/grounded.
Titanium man, Crimson dynamo....
Armor wars.
Demon in a bottle.
Or create something new.
With Marvel having all the rights, there's nothing saying they couldn't pull a character from outside the Iron Man lore.

I doubt Captain america can succeed in the rest of the world unless they treat him like The ultimate version.
Captain America will only work if they do his "origins" in the Avengers Movie, like they did with the Ultimate Avengers comic books that freaking rock.
A movie about captain america though? Well i guess it will make a couple bucks in the States, but the movie will bomb overall.
