Marvel managed to make Iron Man into one of the most popular characters, on a level next to Spider-Man, Wolverine, and dare I say Batman and Superman. Thor is almost there too.

I'm just surprised that in this day and age, we can't get a black superhero movie not called Blade? And I'm not disagreeing with you about Blade, terrible comic book character, great movie character. I only wish Ghost Rider and Punisher were as good as Blade movies were (1 and 2 that is).

Black Panther shouldn't be a hard sell, especially in a world where we're getting a movie with a talking raccoon, and a movie with a hero called Ant-Man. I am looking forward to those movies, all of them, b/c I do think they will be cool, but c'mon, a black character as the headliner of a movie is not as far fetched as that stuff (or maybe I'm way off base with this).
