Perhaps you thought that the superhero genre was looking towards a close and that Hollywood would move onto something else? Wrong. News from Variety through Comic Book Movie is that it’s the exact opposite, prepare for an onslaught of heroes.
Paramount has signed a lucrative and exclusive deal with Marvel for films based on Marvel’s remaining characters…
…Marvel has already put together a half-billion-dollars to create a slate of films with production budgets as high as $180 milion, using their remaining 5,000 comic book characters…
Two of the first classic comic book characters that will hit the big screen are Captain America and Nick Fury…
…The first film is expected to be released in two years and for the largest possible audience none of the films will have a rating above PG-13.
Well Nick Fury might be quite cool, but they’re all going to be PG-13 and under? Well, there will be some good entertainment out of some of these, but nothing too dark. The superhero franchise is definitely not dead, I wonder how many of those 5,000 characters we’re going to see on screen! What characters would you like to see making it?
