I don't know. They've only made two movies in this universe. We'll see what Suicide Squad does. It's definitely not a roster of their best characters. Only a few are known by casual fans. I have my fingers crossed that it's a good movie. Nobody (aside from blind fanboys, I guess) actually wants a movie to be bad.
*edit* I see where I said Iron Man wasn't an "A-List character". I may have misspoken. In the 90's ( when they said comics sucked but it's when I got into comics), it was all about X-Men characters and Spider-man at Marvel comics. That's why they got guys like Jim Lee and Rob Liefeld to reboot the " non mutant " heroes in the Heroes Reborn storyline. When they did "Heroes Return", the Avengers were a big deal again. There's probably a thousand heroes in the Avengers but (just like how Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman are the JLA's " Trinity "), Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man have been the " Trinity". Iron Man was an important guy but, for a period between maybe 1997-2006, his stories weren't very memorable. He was like Silver Surfer or Dr. Strange. People knew him and he even had his own cartoons but they didn't really care about him. He wasn't an icon, imo. |
funny enough, Iron Man still isnt an A lister at least not in the comics. His books dont sell as well as alot of the Marvel stuff
