“Popular superheroes are popular” isn’t a deep revelation. People will still flock to see the next Batman movie, too. Deadpool & Wolverine did gangbusters. So did GOTG3. If Tony Stark hadn’t died, an Iron Man 4 right about now would do insane business. And I suspect that if Marvel had successfully rebooted Blade, that movie would do insane business too.
The main thing I’m surprised by is how Marvel has never attempted to make an MCU Daredevil movie, as it seems to me that it’d be an easy sell. He’s their most currently popular character that they’ve never done a movie for (in the MCU at least).
The deep revelation is “relatively unknown superheroes can be popular if done well.” Most of us had never heard of Iron Man or GotG before the MCU. Seems they’ve gotten scared to invest in similarly obscure properties.
