Why the hell do keep rebooting films? There was still a lot more they could of done with the cast!! Why cant they do projects on bringing out character in Marvel that havent been done. Like Deadpool, Daredevil (Again!), Doctor Strange.

As long as it's not as cheesy as the last 2.
Also, tie them into the marvel movie universe. Maybe bring spidey into it somehow.
