Marvel Developing "Smaller Movies"
Thu, April 22, 2010
Marvel Studios, the ones kicking the shit out of DC right now, well with the exception of 'The Dark Knight', has plans to start releasing smaller super hero films. This doesn't mean that we won't still get Iron Man 3 or Captain America sequels etc. The plans will likely take place after the release of 'The Avengers' due out in 2012. CHUD has the exclusive story, and here's and excerpt from what they had to say:
Marvel Studios is currently taking meetings with writers and directors to work on small scale movies based on some of their third tier characters. The movies would cost in the range of 20 to 40 million dollars (very small when we're talking studio films) and would allow them to take risks with less obvious characters and with interesting talent.
Filmmakers are being offered their pick of characters whose names are only familiar to comic fans. Properties like Dr. Strange, Ka-Zar, Luke Cage, Dazzler and Power Pack are among the many that are being tossed around right now. And the attitude seems to be that Marvel is open to bringing any of their characters to the screen at the right price point.

yes! Bring on Ant-Man and Luke Cage would be sweet too
Who the fuck is Ant-Man?? That sounds ridiculous, I'm a DC and I like some Marvel properties, but I'm sorry Ant-Man sounds down right retarded.
Were you just kidding Noah?
