SO EXCITED FOR ALL OF THESE!!!
ReplyDeleteMy opinion is that DC is much better than Marvel. Marvel superheroes are too...weird.
ReplyDelete*cough* *ignores Logan's comment*
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or does it feel like Marvel's bitten off more than they can chew? That's a LOT of movies by anyone's standards.
I can't wait for some of these to be made into movies. :) I'll heard that the X-Men First Class sequel will be based on the "Days of Future Past" comic story. Can't for it. :D
ReplyDelete-James
I have a question, they are making a black widow movie, are they going to make a hawkeye movie??
ReplyDeleteI checked and currently there are no plans to make a Hawkeye movie. However, if the second "Avengers" film and the "Black Widow" movie do well, I think they'll seriously consider giving him his own movie. I'll let you know if I find out anything more! =D
DeleteYeah i was wondering the same thing!!!
