Are Solo Superhero Films a Thing of the Past?
With movies like BvS, Civil War and most recently announced appearance of MCU characters in the new Spider-Man reboot makes me wonder if true solo superhero films are a thing of the past.
Almost seems that at least one or more heroes show up in another heroes films anymore.

There aren't any solo superhero franchises anymore since the shared universe
But in answer to the question, I don't think so. We're still going to have our Batman movies and Spider-man movies. With the MCU, the lines become a lot more blurred as there will most likely at least be cameos of other heros or heroic characters....but Ant-Man for instance; that film was pretty confined within itself....even if he did fight Falcon.

We'll always have the movies with only a solo character and their own confined plot. I'm saying we won't have it like in the Raimi Spidermans, where it's a universe with only one superhero. Superheroes just aren't special anymore when they're on the Avengers or in the Justice League.

Looks like they might be. Marvel's making less solo and more duo and ensemble movies, and DC playing catch up never really made many solo films in the first place, and are just jumping right in to Ensemble films.
Just knowing that WW's film may not really be solo already pisses me off.

Yes I know I was just making a different point excuse meWe'll always have the movies with only a solo character and their own confined plot.
