As I said to Pro earlier, I think the Avengers is also gonna be a tougher to sell name, mainly because a lot of people will relate it to the other version of The Avengers


Good point. In fact, I had suspected that was part of the reason we got "the Ultimates" in the first place, to wit, that it was more sellable name. I wonder why Marvel went back to "the Avengers."

If nothing else, we have seen that launching characters out of team movies, doesnt necessarily work.
Other than Wolverine, who in the X-Men movies did people want in a solo film?


Yeah, but other than Wolverine, who in the X-men comics has even had a successful solo book either. And if it worked for Wolvie, why not Cap?

The problem with team movies is there's too much of a chance of one or two characters getting all the screen time, and everyone else ends up looking like Lois Lane or Alfred.


Yeah, but that's a problem no matter what. In fact, I suspect that any Avengers movie will probably (if Downey wants it to be) turn into "Iron Man and his sidekicks."
