Doubtful, but I suppose it's possible. People always have this idea that things need to be BIGGER and bigger makes things better, when it really fucking doesn't. We'll probably see another spider-man solo movie, but it'll still have other characters in it, since all of these movies are riddled with other characters now. I'm just so bored and tired of these films, and now Disney is making me feel the same way about Star Wars. I wish they'd just leave all this shit alone and let other studios with real directors capable of creating something beautiful vs their current model of doing everything in their power and with their marketing data to pander to the largest common denominator.
Spiderman is really the only hero in Marvel that has an interesting villain line up. I would much rather have 1-3 Spiderman movies a year focused on that rather than 1-3 insert random hero here films.
The one thing dc has going for then that Marvel doesn't is their heroes actually have interesting villains, they just have no idea how to make a non-animated film.
Also I agree the bigger mentality is getting boring. One of my favorite Batman comics of the last couple years starts with a blackout in Gotham and Batman running around chasing down leads trying to figure out which big bad was responsible and what their plan is.
Turns out it was literally just a blackout. Nothing nefarious.
Obviously you can't do a movie where nothing happens, you might get away with it for an episode on a tv show. But the point is that going back to basics is interesting. That's part ofhe Dark Knight is the best Batman movie and rises sucks.
An actual interesting villian with an interesting plan. Instead of let's kill everyone... Because the movie needs conflict... I guess...
