Marvel possibilities | Movie News
That's the big question when it comes to the Disney/Marvel deal. They are being left to decide if characters like Iron Fist, Ant-Man, and Dr. Strange will appeal to the mainstream just as well as SPIDER-MAN.
With the $4.2 billion dollar bet they must feel pretty confident. Disney has to get people seriously excited about the rest of the Marvel universe to justify the price which is about $1.2 billion, or 40 percent, more than what Marvel's stock was worth when the deal was announced Aug. 31. At that price Disney will have to sell some more licensed merchandise and hope for some blockbusters.
Another question that arises is, which character will be the next big thing?
To those of us that do read comics, Iron Fist and Dr. Strange are just as awesome as IRON MAN. There are over 5,000 superheroes ready for their close up. Well, as long as they're done the right way. Disney should have no problem with this. The shares of the Mouse House have actually gone up 20% since the deal was revealed. The concern is that characters like Ant-Man are too obscure.
Obscure or not, some of the characters have really amazing stories. In the coming years more superheroes will be created as well. There are so many endless possibilities that Disney can't lose.

Extra Tidbit: As long as I get a Dr. Strange movie written by Brian K. Vaughn, everything will be okay.

i think Luke Cage is an obvious choice, I dont understand why they were having so much difficulties in making a film with him.

I don't think Iron Fist has a chance. Because of the name.
And then there's the punisher. Hollywood has screwed up The Punisher multiple times. The casting has been fine. It's the director that they keep getting wrong. I think they should give the Punisher one more chance with a damn good director. JOHN WOO!
I wish they could get the X-Men away from Fox.

Nothing in tone in Shoot Em' Up was anywhere near Punisher territory except that both movies had guns in them.
I really feel that merely slapping a skull on Owen in that movie is nowhere near who the Punisher is.

Like I said, the only parallel is they both use guns. That's it. It'd take waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than a skull shirt to justify Owen being Frank Castle in everything but name in that film.
DD needs to be re-visited though. And Jason Statham needs to stay away from it, too- as much as Affleck needed to stay away from the first one.

As long as they don't make Marvel do kid stuff exclusively, then it should be fine.
