Yes it would be a distant second but what is Marvel Studios potentially biggest non-Avenger franchise?
Maybe the Midnight Sons. Perhaps the Defenders due to Hulk.
The Defenders. The potential of that team is almost as big as The Avengers themselves.
Dr. Strange, Hulk, Daredevil and two or three c-listers...
Of the teams listed, I'd say Runaways has the best box office, because of the teen demographic.
I agree with that.As it stands, the best teams are already on the screen; for MCU The Avengers; Fox has X-Men and Fantastic Four. That's about it for a mainstream/GA draw..
Even if Iron Man wasn't an A-list superhero to casual audience before his movie was released, he's definitely an A-list property to Marvel Comics. I don't think I can say that to Guardians of the Galaxy, Inhumans, Runaways, Thunderbolts.
It's dumb as hell to begin with. It's the same as saying any new movie property can't be successful because people don't know about it.
I agree with that.
In terms of superhero teams of Marvel - X-Men, Fantastic Four and Avengers are their most marketable and I feel like they are the only superhero teams that could draw a lot of people.
And I don't believe this "look at Iron Man's success" argument. Even if Iron Man wasn't an A-list superhero to casual audience before his movie was released, he's definitely an A-list property to Marvel Comics. I don't think I can say that to Guardians of the Galaxy, Inhumans, Runaways, Thunderbolts.
Iron Man still doesn't sell that much comics even with #1 films. Guardians 1 sold twice as much as his.
Can't wait till GOTG comes out so this debate on new properties being successful can end.
Watchmen, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, The Losers say hello.
I think GotG is gonna be a big hit.
