I will go to see Black Panther. I have not seen ANY of the Marvel movies yet, but I want to support that one.
Also, OMG there appear to be seriously hot women in there kicking ass and I wish to see more of THAT please, yes and thank you.
I will also be going to see A Wrinkle In Time because that is a childhood book and it looks (from the trailers) like they have NOT severely fubared it. Fingers crossed. (They won't be able to make Many Waters, though, that's just not gonna happen.)
As a fan of the 80s runs of various Marvel comics, I was skeptical about movies ever getting the characters "right". Then they announced that Iron Man was going to have Robert Downey, Jr and I said "well, if anyone can play an arrogant rich white guy with a substance abuse problem HE can" so I gave it a look and was very pleasantly surprised.
I've skipped a few of them (should probably go back and at least try Ant-Man, though I may never bother with Thor 2) but I think on the whole the franchise has done well (except for still not giving us a Black Widow movie, grr).
The way they've managed to get different directorial styles for different characters (Branagh and Waititi for Thor, Johnston and the Russos for Captain America, Gunn for the Guardians of the Galaxy) while still being able to cross over between the movies is pretty impressive, IMO.
