What is interesting about the comic book movies these days is that because of the development of the “MCU,” the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel has solved the problems of sequels. Previously, once a movie was a hit, all there were were sequels, which just offered the same story again, until the well went dry. With the Cinematic Universe, you can offer the same basic characters, or add new ones, and different stories that explore different parts of that universe, without being a tired sequel. With that formula you can cash checks forever. Since 2008’s Iron Man, the MCU has included 17 films, with nine more in production.
