Yeah, Ghost Rider is much more popular now. I'd love to see an Iron Man movie, that could be really cool. Spidey, looks good but some of the others I'm not sure about. I really like the Black Widow character, but I'm not sure she has enough name recognition to headline a movie.

Notes From the Marvel Quarter 1 Conference Call Source: Marvel Enterprises Tuesday, May 4, 2004
Marvel Enterprises' Quarter One Conference Call took place this morning, and while you can view Marvel Studios' upcoming release slate in full here, Avi Arad added more comments on each film. If you'd like to listen to what Arad said, the audio clip is available here.
-Arad said that The Punisher will be released internationally starting in September. They are hoping to have The Punisher 2 ready by next fall. Thomas Jane is signed for three films and Jonathan Hensleigh will be back to write and direct as well.
-Spider-Man 2 will get a 60 second spot on this Thursday's "Friends" finale. The sequel also includes a new Marvel logo treatment.
-They've got a writer, director (David Hayter) and actress for Black Widow, though they can't announce the actress just yet.
-Blade: Trinity was just screen-tested (as you read here) and that went "incredibly well". New Line is very confident and will promote the film aggresivelly.
-Man-Thing is complete, they just received the finished print. They'll be testing it and then determine an exact release date.
-Elektra starts production today and will be PG-13.
-Fantastic Four starts filming in August. It will have 5 build-in toy lines for the different characters in the film. The "funny family action film" will be rated PG-13. Activision is making a game based on the film too.
-Iron Man will be PG-13 and will have a major toy line. Activision is creating a game based on the movie.
-Luke Cage has a script (Ben Ramsey), director (John Singleton) and actors who they can't announce yet.
-They've started pre-production on the PG-13 Ghost Rider adaptation.

Hmm, they're adapting just about every Marvel comic except the two I'd really like to see movies of: "Rom - Spaceknight" and "Groo the Wanderer" (technically Epic, which was part of Marvel).

HHMMMM no mention of a Wolverine movie or Alien Legion ( once again an Epic/Marvel comic) I'd love to see those two.

I was hoping for them to shoot X-Men 3 and 4 simultaneously featuring the Dark Phoenix saga.
Of course, 2006 is a long way off.

I'd be interested in a Namor or Dr Strange movie but I dunno about Deathlok. He was never really one of the bigger characters. The choice seems kind of strange to me.

definately interested in seeing Blade: Trinity, and X3. anyone know who is on board to direct those 2?
and I agree with everyone above, a Ghost Rider movie sounds terrible. loved the comics.

Anyone else think Marvel is going to oversaturate the market and kill the superhero craze faster than it started? Alot of these characters have little to no mainstream fanbase (Iron Fist, Black Panther, Luke Cage). The only safe bets seem to be Spidey, Blade and X-Men. I'm surprised there's even talk of Hulk 2 or Punisher 2, neither were exactly blockbusters.
I'm sure DC/Warner Bros. will strike back eventually. Batman Begins opens in Summer 2005. Other than their safest property in Batman, they really have no reason to jump into such a crowded market. They have plenty of potential blockbusters that they can greenlight at any time like Superman, Wonder Woman, Justice League, Green Lantern, Flash, Aquaman, etc.
