I get what you are all saying, but they are making money. Where movies with very cool superheros are also being made and tanking for one reason or another.

Green Lantern is a great comic, but this movie was considered a bomb. Granted, it was poor execution, but aren't you arguing that the Wolverine movies were poorly executed, as well?

Fantastic 4, somewhat well known and done horribly. I don't think anyone is clamoring for any more of these.

Green Hornet, pretty entertaining actually. But didn't do nearly as well as Wolverine because it's not very well known.

I can see them doing a lot of the ones the fanboys really want to see, but unfortunately, most will bust.

I'd love to see a reboot of fantastic four.

Playing Wolverine is insanely taxing on his body. I bet it sucks.

What's taxing about it? Does he do his own stunts? Most of that last installment was him yelling with CGI all around him. Taxing on his vocal chords ill give you.

They have to. There's either a window of 8-10 years in which, if Fox has not started filming a new Fantastic Four movie by then, the rights revert to Disney/Marvel.

The last movie came out in 2007.

Case in point - the following characters have reverted back to Marvel:

Daredevil - from Fox...but Elektra has not

Punisher - from Lion's Gate

Blade - from New Line/Time Warner
