Pick the budget for future Marvel films

[chiefchirpa]

Ok if you're a Marvel big-wig, how much would you spent for future planned or hypothetical Marvel films with budgets that have not been disclosed yet. So that means no Spider-Man 3, Iron Man, and Hulk 2 because these numbers are not secret anymore.

I'll start with:
1. Captain America -> 120-150 mil
This movie will start with the average superhero movie budget because as I see it the movie doesn't depend much on CGI. Get an unknown or known young actor for the titular role, Marvel can squeeze the budget down. The strive for WW2 authenticity would jack up the cost.

2. Mighty Thor -> 150-170 mil
This movie would certainly be SFX heavy because of Loki magic and the Viking setting. The actor should be more well-known because unlike Cap A, he doesn't wear a mask.

3. Wolverine -> 120 mil
It should not be costly in the SFX department (except for Omega Red), but I think Marvel should put more content in one of their potential winners.

4. Ant Man -> 80-100 mil
Personal superhero movie. Not much action compared to the rest, but SFX will swallow most the budget.

5. Luke Cage -> 60-80 mil
Anyone would like to have a rapper to do this? That'll cut down the budget by having him acting not for the money but for being in a cool superhero movie. Kidding.. but because of the urban setting, the cost would be marginal.

6. Deadpool -> 80 mil
7. Daredevil 2 -> 80 mil
8. Punisher 2 -> 65 mil
9. Black Panther -> 100 mil
10. Namor -> 120 mil
(BTW, add more projected or unplanned Marvel movie that you might think of)

My picks
Dr.Strange: 150-170 mil, maybe 200 mil
Steven should be played by a semi-well known actor. This would also be SFX heavy with the magic, realms and villains that the sorcerer supreme will face.

Nick Fury: 150-170 mil
With all the gadgets, uniforms and the flying fortress the budget has to be big. Depending which version they, IMO the "true" version should be used, they have to get a well-known actor.

These are movies I would want to see....

Man-Thing 2 (TV Special for Sci-Fi with ad campaign): $8 million.
Blade 4 (with Micheal Jai White): $25-35 million (Theater Release)

Movies that WILL be made...

Punisher 2: $45 million (Theater Release) Would be higher...but the first movie didn't do that great at the box office. Only made $33,810,189 with a budget of $30,000,000

Wolverine: $100-150 million. As far as I know....the only mutant in this movie is Wolverine. Of course, I am probably wrong. I haven't been following the development of this movie. I don't see a lot of people wanting to watch a movie about Wovlerine. He's cool...but I rather see a X-men 4.

Daredevil 2: $80-90 million. Don't bring back Affleck since he doesn't want to do it.

Hey everyone!

I think you guys are WAAAAY over-inflating the budgets for these movies.

If you ask me, what Del Toro did with Hellboy and $66 million was absolutely incredible. Hellboy looks better than Superman Returns and cost only 1/3rd as much!

Iron-Man: $115 million...potentially effects heavy movie.

Captain America: $75 million...effects light movie.

Thor: $115 million...potentially effects heavy movie.

Ant-Man: $75 million...difficult to say about the effects.

Wolverine: $85 million (of which Hugh Jackman will probably get $15 million)...effects light movie.

Hulk 2: confirmed at $115 million...effects heavy movie

Fantastic Four 2: Maybe $125 million because it has a proven track record...effects heavy movie.

Only characters with a massive fan base and proven track record (Batman, Spider-man, Superman) will get $150 million plus budgets.

The first Spider-man movie only had a budget of $137 million and thats Marvel's biggest franchise by a mile!

Those of you talking about $170 million for Dr Strange and Nick Fury movies are living in a complete and utter dream world.
