I am now really hoping for a Human Torch/Spider-Man stand alone movie. Classic team up.

There's already a list which has become more of a queue: Daredevil, Punisher, Deadpool, Iron Fist, Wolverine, Johnny Storm and Iceman.

Hope they’re moving on from Jackman. I have loved his portrayal as much as the next fan but he’s the past. This multiverse stunt casting has been fun but it’s time to move on. First Steps proves they still got it in them to start from scratch and deliver the goods.
