I'd be down for it.
I'd like to see marvel expand their character roster though for the next round.
Instead of doing direct sequels to all of these, they should open up the roster more and do in spirit/other characters.

Ironman -> Avengers or at the very least bring rescue and war machine in
X-Men -> Academy X/New X-Men or X-Factor or X-Force (uncanny or v3) or New Mutants
Blade -> Ghost Rider or Doc Strange or Midnight Sons or any occult hero
Wolverine -> X-23 or Heroes 4 Hire (Luke Cage and Ironfist specificly as they have that more urban edge like Wolverine or X-23 does.)

I know it's a pipe dream, but it'd help broaden the amount of animation out there, the stories told, as well as get more characters out to the audiences to make them aware of them for future comic sales/recognition. I also hope this time around they stick to their guns about the story bleed over and crossovers instead of changing or just ditching it like they did with X-Men and Blade. Not one unifying badguy, but give us at least better hints at one unified anime universe if each series is only going to be 10-13 episodes each.
I do like the single season format, but if that's the case, do more with it! 13 episodes each for more variety and exposure is perfect. If after 13 eps it wasn't as popular as the mainstays, well you didn't waste a full 52 to find that out! Lesson learned for the next round and not do that character again(though they really shouldn't anyway with that plan, keep expanding until you run out then go back to the mainstays since they'll have this vast backlog of anyone who can appear once established).

As for the dubs, I kind of wish they'd better establish why they are speaking certain languages.
Like the supernatural anime makes sense to be in english, it's happening in america with american characters. Ironman's anime has a story point that makes it understandable he's speaking japanese, ditto to wolverine. X-Men just glossed over it, as did blade. Blade the Last vampire was done in english originally because it just made story-centric sense for that(american army base in Japan). That's all I'm asking for here. Give me valid story to explain it, and if there isn't one, let them stick to their native tongue that would make sense for it. (Logan speaking japanese, but Omega Red should stick to russian or english. It doesn't make sense that Omega Red speaks such bad japanese without any story reason to explain it.)
It honestly makes no sense to me if a character has no reason or purpose speaking a language they shouldn't even know, especially when they aren't in that country(like at the start of X-Men). They are also missing a huge story oppurtunity here as well about language barriers in some instances like say Omega Red.

Preferably, and I know an X-23 one won't happen, but if they do, they should get Summer Glau for both and have her switch up the languages used based on what's needed for the scene as the character itself makes sense to be able to adapt to any scenario. Just like wolverine can. Or for the X-men, give us a little english at the beginning with some comment later about Xavier or Emma downloading the language into their brains/translating it for them.

This works for both dubs and original. If the scene or location calls for it for best effect, use what's appropriate(takes place in america with americans, use english, if it's in japan, especially a period story like rurouni kenshin or samurai champloo, use japanese). If it doesn't matter and the story is timeless or locationless (like many animes take place in the future, new worlds, new societies, etc like cowboy bebop makes sense either way) it's moot and either works.
