In a nutshell, 5 years ago the X-Men movie was released to big success.

Not only was this the first sucessful comic-based movie, since the peak of the Batman franchise, but it was also one the first successful films based on a Marvel comic (another being Blade 1998).

This made comic movies cool again.

Also, since Marvel isn't bound to once studio (like DC is with Warner Bros), it is easy for a ton of Marvel-based movies to be made at one time.

At the moment there are at least 5 or 6 comic movies in development including Dr Strange, The Flash, Green Hornet, Iron Man, and Wonder Women.

And that's not even counting the sequels being made.
