Haha, one title I was thinking of posting was “When it’s not about cops or special forces, it’s about billionaires”, so you’ve largely proven my point.
Rooster Cogburn, the 1975 sequel to True Grit, feels oddly out of place in that list.
Blockbuster, blockbuster, serviceable sequel to a genuine classic, blockbuster, blockbuster, blockbuster.
I really don’t mean to be critical, the protagonist is clearly not a billionaire so it fits, but I am very curious as to the reasoning.
Movies are not always about billionaires, so your premise is incorrect.
Here’s a short list off the top of my head …
But movies are often about escapism, and rich people can often do things we can’t do.
Also it’s a great plot device. Minimum Wage Tony Stark couldn’t be Iron Man (despite the fact he built the Mark I suit in a cave).
The fact that Tony Stark is wealthy being imagination helps in the suspense of disbelief. The same could be said about Bruce Wayne.

Even then, if you want a struggling superhero, there’s Spider-Man.
