Iron Man
Ozymandias:
zerodrone, go find a way to read Ultimates.
That's the kind of thing I'm hoping for for the Avengers movie. Not nearly as dark and cruel as the actual comics, but the same general theme of a bunch of superheroes thrown together to fight menaces bigger than themselves despite the fact that they actually aren't much as a team until it matters.

It managed to work fine for X-Men, which was essentially Avengers with racism. You seem to be forgetting the fact that Fury's obviously rounding them up in the continuity of the solo flicks. By the time they actually do Avengers, they should be able to jump into the team without more than maybe twenty minutes of exposition (Which would probably be Cap acclimating to the modern age). This would essentially put it more in line with X2 where the team was already established.
Basically, they're doing this the exact correct manner by introducing the characters individually before making the team flick. That's why Avengers easily works as a movie (As would JLA): each member of the roster is sufficient to carry their own flick (With a few exceptions), whereas Wolverine (And MAYBE Gambit) is really the only X-Man who is popular enough to carry his own movie, meaning they had to flesh out each and every X-Man in the team movie.
And we've already had five New Mutants films. Though they changed the name to Harry Potter for some reason (Seriously, all ten angst with magic/super power movies are the same thing).
Jackie Blue:
Have you actually read the very early New Mutants issues? They were a hell of a lot darker and more interesting than Harry freakin' Potter. :x

I've been reading Marvel comics since I was eight and still read them. New Mutants, regardless of which era you go for, is essentially the same teen angst thing everyone else has done ever. You'd be better served with a Runaways movie if you were going to translate a Marvel teen comic.
carrotosaurus:
Speaking of teen angst, they should do X-Statix.
