Minor Marvel and DC characters have broader public recognition. You'd probably get more people inherently excited about a Blue Beetle and you'd definitely get way more people excited about a Squirrel Girl movie (admittedly she is higher-profile than a lot of Marvel characters these days). Now he's a bit of a relic, as is Salvatore.WotC should probably see if they can convince Brandon Sanderson to write a D&D-set series. I'm not super-impressed with his work (it feel like he pretty much peaked with the first Stormlight Archive book and it wasn't a very high peak), but he's insanely popular in a way that makes Salvatore's highest popularity look minor. I suspect he is too successful at this point, though, and would rather develop his own IPs than use a licensed one (much as Bioware decided in the early 2000s with Dragon Age).</blockquote>
