If anything, it has to be said that Marvel Studios came swinging right out of the gate, starting with the Iron Man film.  And since the successful release of this film, they've worked diligently to build their film universe, with (as well stated) the film versions of The Incredible Hulk, and future releases of Captain America, Thor and Avengers.

But Marvel’s in this for the long haul…so how do they intend to keep the gravy train a-rollin'?

Can you say by thinking smaller?

If the scoop exclusively picked up by CHUD is true, Marvel Studios is now plotting out a series of films to feature, well, their B-list heroes.  The catch - these movies will be budgeted in the range of $20-40 mil, versus the ~$100 mil budgets of the A-list pics.

The characters rumored to be featured in such flicks? Dr. Strange, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Dazzler, Ka-Zar and yes, even everyone’s favorite pre-teen superheroes - Power Pack.

While some of these movies are absolutely ripe for film interpretation (Iron Fist in particular is perfect, and has me drooling), I can’t help but wonder if there’s a state of burnout which has yet to be reached with comic based films which we’ll eventually encounter.

If Marvel Studios has their way - it won’t happen.  But I remain skeptical.
