Marvel’s Avengers DVD movies have been excellent entertainment. I’m excited to see a new Hulk and Iron Man coming to coincide with the theatrical releases of the live action movies. Also, Fantastic 4 will probably work better as a cartoon than it has as live action.

Marvel is stocking up the new Wolverine movie with other characters.

Reynolds is perfect for the wisecracking anti-hero. His personality in Blade 3 was close to being Deadpool. He’s shows that he has acting talent, and he can handle action. I can’t think of any better actor (this generation).

With this news, as well as the news that Sam Jackson will be playing Nick Fury in Hulk and Iron Man, it proves that Marvel has learned how to bring comics to film. They are doing exactly what the comics do…introducing new characters in other franchises before launching their own title. They tried with Electra/Daredevil, and it almost worked (had they spent more time on Electra).

Watch out D.C., Marvel knows what it’s doing.
