Super Hero Movies of the Future

2011 is going to be huge for super hero movies. So is the future that's coming after that. Next summer alone will have both a Captain America movie and a Thor movie for Marvel. And then there's the X-Men new movie, X-Men: First Class, directed by Mathew Vaughn (the guy who was supposed to do X-Men 3). From DC, next summer will have Ryan Reynolds as The Green Lantern. And somewhere next year is Seth Rogen as The Green Hornet. We are also just days away (hopefully) from hearing who Chris Nolan casts in his new Batman movie to play the Riddler (speculation says it will either be Joseph Gordon Levitt or Tom Hardy, both were in Nolan's Inception). And of course the summer after next will bring us The Avengers from Marvel, featuring heroes from all of the recent marvel movies. But in sequel / reboots news, they just hired Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen) to direct a new Superman movie, Darren Aronofsky is in contention to make the Wolverine sequel, Andrew Garfield from the Social Network is starring in the Spider Man reboot, and Nicholas Cage seems like he's on board to be in a Ghost Rider sequel. It's getting out of control. And that's probably a good thing. I think they should bring back The Punisher and Blade and have them both star in a movie together, The Punisher vs Blade. Have the Punisher fall for a Vampire chick that Blade is out to kill. It could cash in on all the vampire-romance popularity brought on by Twilight and True Blood. And what about the Fantastic Four? No news of that series as of late, but its only a matter of time before Fox has to remake it to hold onto the rights. And I still want to see a Silver Surfer movie and know which director would be interested. Quentin Tarantino. Sounds ridiculous, I know, but he is the biggest Surfer fan as evidenced from Reservoir Dogs, the dialogue he wrote for Crimson Tide, and his love of the Richard Gere film Breathless. At least approach Tarantino. And get JJ Abrahms to make a superhero movie dammit. He would be pretty awesome, just look at what he did for Star Trek. Not all of these films will be quality, but here's hoping with some of these great directors tapped (Vaughn, Snyder, Aronofsky), the future of superhero movies will be bright.
