I doubt those will ever be made now because of Green Lantern bombing at the box office.Think about it,if your a Hollywood studio would you spend millions to make an Ant-man movie or a a similar b comic book hero movie now?
Antman or Doctor Strange would do worst numbers than Green Lantern. I am afraid the bloom is off the rose for super hero movies. It should be interesting how the big two Spider-man and Batman fair box office wise next year. I have a funny feeling neither will come close to their box office predecessors.
Green Lantern performing this badly at the box office just about puts a kibosh on similar heroes getting big time movies made now. 
  

Gee, there have been three superhero movies released so far this summer...Two were hits but one was a disappointment. Yep, based on that, people are sick of super-hero movies and Hollywood isn't going to make anymore.  

SARCASM MODE OFF. There will be more super-hero movies. Some will succeed, some will fail. Just like any other cinematic genre. There will be films made from lesser know characters, yes even Ant-Man and maybe someday even Dr. Strange. Marvel Studios is on a roll and has yet to have an out-and-out box office failure. With their track record to date, I could see them getting a Doc Strange or Warlock film considered.

And GL's lackluster performance still will not deter WB from looking at other DC concepts. HAWKMAN is in very early stages of development right now. The studios want movie franchises. They want concepts that support two or three lucrative sequels. Super-heroes are perfect for that.

The super-hero genre is here to stay, just like the Romcom or underdog sports hero film. 
Please don`t kill the messenger but it will be a wait for another Green Lantern or lesser know DC hero. example Superman Returns did better box office than GL ,but yet it has almost been 6 years since a Superman sequel. With all you Captain America apologists, I expect that to do worse box office than Green Lantern. Why? because it has the two biggest Hollywood blockbusters of the year to go up against. Transformers 3 and Harry Potter`s final film. Cap will be praying for a GL boxoffice result.
