David Maisel may just be the right man for the job

I was reading an article at Comic Book Resources in which Milo Ventimiglia is quoted as saying: "I was actually having a conversation last night, with [Marvel Studios Chairman] David Maisel and he was talking about ‘Iron Man.’ He was basically saying that it’s a character piece where the guy just happens to be a superhero". When I read this, I realized that Maisel gets it. That one sentiment he expressed to Ventimiglia in its own way sums up everything that was right about the film version of 'Iron Man' and most of what was wrong with the film version of 'The Fantastic Four'. It's the concept that set Marvel apart from its competitors in the 1960s and onward. Hopefully, Maisel can keep this key tenant in mind as work moves forward on all of the upcoming Marvel Movies. If so, we're in for a great ride.
