More Marvel movie plans
Just talked to Kevin Feige, president of production at Marvel Studios and an executive producer on “X-Men: The Last Stand.” You’ll find his comments on “The Last Stand,” the last part of the X-Men trilogy, in a future Comics Fan column.
I also asked him about the slate of movies to be produced by Marvel Studios. He expects the first out of the gate to be “Iron Man,” targeted for a summer 2008 opening. Before that, look for more movies produced by Marvel’s “studio partners,” including “Ghost Rider,” “Spider-Man 3” and “Fantastic Four 2” all in 2007. Filming on the third Spider-Man movie continues for the next month and a half and is going "extremely well," Feige says, and "FF2" will begin shooting at the end of the summer.

Having enjoyed most of the Marvel movies of the last few years, I look forward to the upcoming projects, with some reservations.
I didn't think the first Hulk movie was bad, so the rumors that a new one will be made which has no connection to the first one is confusing.(I would rather they try again with Daredevil) I liked The Punisher, but no sequel seems forthcoming. As far as I am concerned, the X-Men and Spider-Man movies could be continued indefinitely.
Is the falloff in quality characters so abrupt that Ghost Rider is the next best choice for a movie? Frankly, I thought the character was kind of lame when I first read an issue in the '70s.
There are plenty of Avengers and X-Men who could support a film of their own (not sure about Ant-Man).
Personally I look forward to the eventual Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor movies, but some of the characters being chosen seem like filler movies. I would be happier with one really good Marvel hero movie a year than with one good one and one disappointment.
