I think that's key to the success of future superhero movies. Deadpool is a R-Rated comedy, which gives Deadpool some novelty and keeps his character feeling fresh. Winter Soldier was a spy thriller, there was that X-men horror movie a few years ago (IDK if it's good, never saw it), the new joker movie is apparently a musical.

These are all different genres just with a superhero filter over them. The problem with the MCU as a whole is that they all feel the same and all the characters feel the same.

That's what I've been saying for years. "Superheroes" is a flavour, not a genre. Just like "cops" or "soldiers". You can do any sort of movie genre with those flavours. The problem is that too often movie studios go with the safe option of "action comedy".

with extra cheap and unoriginal comedy.
