Well it could hardly be worse (if it's the one I'm thinking of)

[Trout]

Also, Power Pack: The Movie?

Heh, heh. I hope it's a kids' film!

[Artificial Idiot]

Argh! When will it end!?

[Carlsborg Expert]

Ill be looking forward to Ant-man.

[Quirkafleeg]

hmmm hope they are not planning to do them all at once... I'd rather see less than more - Spiderman 2 and X-Men 2 type affairs that Punisher straight to video tosh.

[Satanist]

The Punisher2??? They still owe me an hour and a half for the first one.

The really significant point is they're making these films themselves (and taking out a whopping loan to do so) rather than licensing or selling the rights to film companies.

Interesting, if brave (and possibly financially disastrous) move.  It could only take one absolute bomb to wipe out any profits made from the others.  And they'd stil have the loan to pay back.

[Quirkafleeg]

Point Gordon... but hopefully, if they have any sense, they will be setting it up as a new company ('Marvel Movies' or some such) with separate liability so if it does burn out it won't take down Marvel comics with it (and whoever owns Marvel now anyway)

Will readers be able to buy shares?

I'd totally invest in a Modok movie - possibly a light hearted romantic comedey loosely based on "The 40 Year Old Virgin".

Didn't they do this before?

[Tweak72]

do you think the movies will go the direction of
cross movie team ups?

[LARF]

DC must be laughing in the board room right now, these films will be flops -

Nick Fury - the Hoff anyone?http://www.comics2film.com/nickfury.gif">

[Lord Running Clam]

I quite liked the Nick Fury film.

Its going to be interesting to see how they handle some of the films.
I'm not up on the team members of The Avengers,but haven't they sold the film rights to the newer Avenger team members to different film studios already?Making it hard to use them.
If they use the old team do you think they are going to use the same actors for multiple film franchises?

[VampiraJen]

Argh! When will it end!?



i have to confess, even i'm starting to get a bit annoyed.  it's like, they got a few successful comic based movies and now they're just trying to milk it for all it's got before superhero's at the cinema becomes old news.
