Not that I'm encouraging cheaply made movies, but what Marvel movies could and should be done for under 100 million? what would you give these movies, in terms of budget?
Avengers (200 million): This is the film that counts...they have to put all the marbles into this one, or else it will suck. As long as it's good, it'll make back it's budget, and make a huge profit through overseas tickets, and video rentals, though I'm hoping it can cross 400 million worldwide.
Ant-Man (55 million): Obviously, there's a bit of snickering about the idea of this movie period. I'm not sure if it'd be a better idea to have it be on a lower budget, or to pump a decent amount of money into it. If they don't pump the money in, it'll be a complete piece of crap, but if they do, they might lose money.
Black Panther (70 million): I like T'Challa a lot, and think Black Panther has potential to be a very good film, but I can't see it costing more than 75million, and that's high balling it. It's the type of film that a very skillful director could do on much less.
Captain America (180 million): This one has to be all out; this is the biggest character Marvel still has the rights to, and they'd better make it count. With the right angle on it (i.e. an intelligent script with the complexity of Brubaker's current run) we could be looking at Marvel's best chance to make a truly great film.
Dr. Strange (110 million...as long as they cast a Strange who can draw crowds): This is a tough one; obviously, a Doctor Strange film would benefit immensely from a higher budget (think about the visual effects in battles between Dormammu and Strange on the Astral Plane), but at the same time, Strange is a very tough sell. If they worked the right angle on it though, I could see it being a success.
Hawkeye (35 million): Let's be honest; this movie shouldn't even be made. Hawkeye's solo adventures are few and far between, and none of them scream must see movie. I don't know who they think the audience for this one is. Keep it cheap and it might make money.
Iron Fist (35 million): This is a no-brainer. I think that everything in this could be done for under 50 million.
Luke Cage (35 million): Since they've already said this is going to be a typical "black guy" film, I see no reason for extreme special effects, since it sounds like he's going to be a bullet proof Shaft.
Nick Fury (110 million): As long as Iron Man is a big hit, Nick Fury has two big things going for it; 1. The Iron Man connection 2. Samuel L Mother****in' Jackson. It also helps that The Fury character isn't hard to swallow at all. Outside of being 90-something, there's very little about Nick Fury that isn't realistic, so a big action film would work just fine.)
Thor (180 million): Thor has the advantage/ disadvantage of being both a fantasy property and a superhero one. If they can walk the proper line, this could be a huge success given the fantasy movie boom post-LOTR. Yeah, I'm aware Stardust flopped, but that doesn't mean Thor will.
remember...as long as good movies are made, people will go see them. Also note that these budgets aren't based on just what movies I think will do the most money, but also what movies need the most money to be good (for example, you can make a good Black Panther movie on a 70 million dollar budget, but Doctor Strange on 70 million would be terrible.)
Avengers (200 million): This is the film that counts...they have to put all the marbles into this one, or else it will suck. As long as it's good, it'll make back it's budget, and make a huge profit through overseas tickets, and video rentals, though I'm hoping it can cross 400 million worldwide.
