Not all Wonder films are created equal – or in this case, made by Marvel. In fact, it took decades for Marvel to take control of its own cinematic destiny. The Marvel we know now actually began in the early 1960s, and it wasn’t until the mid-2000s that Marvel Studios was born and began adapting comics into films. Even now that the Marvel Cinematic Universe occupies such a large part of the Hollywood landscape, there are still several Marvel franchises produced outside the company’s reach – most notably Spider-Man and its derivatives such as Kraven the Hunterand Poison.
While it’s true that many of Marvel’s best films were produced by the company itself, some very good films – including several of the most important and influential of the last 25 years – have come from other Hollywood studios that have licensed the rights to Marvel films. characteristic heroes and villains.
