What’s Next For Marvel
With “Iron Man” set to explode this weekend, the next question for producer Marvel Entertainment is: What now? Marvel likely won’t be releasing any movies in 2009, as the studio would have to be in pre-production now to make a summer date but isn’t, mainly because of fears that Hollywood’s actors will go out on strike in the summer. The studio’s next project is expected to be announced on an earnings call Monday, with “Avengers,” “Ant Man” and “Thor” the favorites. (”Captain America” is a prime property but is perceived as a tough sale overseas.) Some question whether the Marvel characters waiting in the wings have the appeal of previously licensed characters like “Spider-Man” and “The X-Men.” But Marvel president David Maisel said the key ingredient to make a film successful isn’t “more well-known or less well-known characters but tender-loving care.”
Well, for a while now “Marvel” has been doing terrible superhero films like “Ghost Rider” and “The Fantastic 4″ films and I have been looking down at them for a while now. Now, with “Iron Man” I am hoping that they are going to handle these future films like that one. I think that it is more interesting to do more less known characters. I mean everyone knows “Batman” everyone know “Spider-man” but some may not know of “Ant-Man”. I really like the suggestions that they announced and hope thay give it the same care as “Iron Man”- Movie Rat Mike
