The release of the Iron Man film in 2008 marked the beginning of Marvel Entertainment’s new approach to managing the film rights to its comicbook properties; Iron Man was the first motion picture that Marvel went ahead and produced itself instead of effortlessly licensing out a character property to one more studio in exchange for a licensing fee upfront.  This change in direction meant that Marvel would be abandoning its usual guaranteed upfront money for the chance to rake in a much larger potential profit after release.  Sure enough this additionally meant that Marvel was willing to risk that it might very well be left holding the bag if a motion picture it independently produced were to end up being a financial failure.  In short, Marvel’s new approach might be summed up with the following: higher risk for potentially (a great deal)higher reward.

Starting with Iron Man as well as proceeding about with a variety of other announced subsequent film projects, Marvel has deliberately chosen various of its flagship character properties which it beleievs will have the greatest chance of succeeding with moviegoers. Marvel has in addition been apparent concerning the fact that it intends to have its self-produced motion picture projects fit into a cohesive film universe which will help to ultimately lay the foundations for a Marvel Avengers film afew years down the road. Underneath I will take a look at some of the film projects that are intended to be foremost pieces of the Marvel movie universe.  From Iron Man to the impending Captain America motion picture, they every single one have their part to play.

Iron Man(2008)

With Iron Man, Marvel was creating a new film universe which they had acontrol of the quality of the product. With the huge financial success of this film, Marvel showed that controling their projects in-residence could work. Iron Man allowed Marvel to establish  a few imperative Marvel Universe characters, like Tony Stark/Iron Man(Robert downey Jr.) and Nick Fury(Samuel Jackson), that will almost certainly be included in all of the subsequent Marvel movie projects.

The Incredible Hulk(2008)

While not anywhere near the boxoffice success of Iron Man, the Hulk motion picture was successful enough,not costing Marvel within the long perform.  It was the first motion picture that allowed Marvel to establich the commonality or cohesiveness of its motion picture universe by presenting it with the opportunity to have a character from one movie (Downey Jr as Tony Stark) appear in a subsequent motion picture (the Incredible Hulk) thereby establishing a shared universe for its characters.

Iron Man II(2010)

This will be interesting to watch and witness if Marvel is adept to build off of the momentum that they created with the huge success of the firts Iron Man film. In all honesty, the gamble starts here since Marvel has established that they can do their characters successfully concerning screen and now they have all to make sure to keep up the level of success thst they have all previously reached. Iron Man II kind of represents the future wave of motion pictures and they require to keep the ball rolling about it, then to speak.

Thor(2011)

This could be something of a wildcard for Marvel; Thor is a popular character for Marvel, however not vis-à-vis par with Captain America, Spider-Man or Iron Man, as well as as such I dont believe that there is as a decent deal presure concerning the creative forces behind this movie to have it be a success of the scale of the Iron Man franchise.  If anything, Marvel is most likely just using it as abuilding block for their impending avengers film project and hoping that it finds itself a nice big receptive audience in relation to the side.  It will be intriguing to seehow Director Kenneth Branagh interprets the Mythology angle of this character for the big screen without getting to bogged down.

The First Avenger: Captain America(2011)

Talking about film projects sensation the heat: the subsequent Captain America motion picture is definitely going to be in that challenge. Everything from concerns about who they cast as the lead (it’s now known that it will be actor Chris Evans of Fantastic Four fame), to how they interpret the famous red, white and blue costume as well as shield onscreen hasbeen fertile ground for comic fan forums over the closing year or subsequently. Now that the plot has been confirmned as being set in WWII, we can expect this movie to mainly deal with the back story of the character as well as ready him up for his participation within future Marvel Avengers movie. Director Joe Johnston will be under the gun to come through about this cornerstone movie.

The Avengers(2012)

This motion picture is what it will every one have been building up to. The Avengers film is something that if done correct, will be more than the sum of its parts – or no less than that is what Marvel has got to be expecting of this venture.  Marvel would be lying if they claimed otherwise: it’s pretty apparent that Marvel wants the Avengers to be nothing less than a mega successful film that will get a flagship franchise for them, with potential to spin off countless other ventures.  the cast for this movie will be pretty to a great extent decided by the time it goes in to production since it will be within works after the other Marvel motion pictures have every single one been cast as well as the important actors of the other Marvel films will have the Avengers motion picture in their contracts, subsequently it will be up to whoever is chosen to direct to make sure the certain actors concerned offer up an effort that is indeed more than the sum of its parts. Marvel has a couple of years as well as counting to make sure they get it right.

Evidently, with the culmination of the subsequent Avengers motion picture, Marvel will be hoping to have a well established and cohesive film universe framework from which they can launch new franchise ventures for many years to come. Additionally to the motion picture projects mentioned above, Marvel has in addition acknowledged that they are viewing a few other film ideas, such as Ant Man and Doctor Strange; with Marvel’s up to date acquisition by Disney, there is some speculation that an Ant Man movie might become an animated venture, while the nearly all likely approach to a Doctor Strange motion picture could likely well be a movie that shares to a great extent in common with the Harry Potter franchise in its look or style due to that series of motion pictures success dealing with the subject of magic.

Therefore how well will Marvel fare with its flagship properties in such upcoming ventures as the Captain America film as well as the Avengers film ?
Genuinely, every one us comics film enthusiasts can do is wait and observe which approaches Marvel chooses for its next film ventures and hope that their decisions meet with both weighty and box office success down the road.  So far, Marvel seems to be regarding the right track as well as following a exceptionally sufficient road map…
