Comic Book Films & TV

[punky]

I really wish they'd stop delaying Captain Marvel. And Emily Blunt says she's had absolutely no contact with Marvel and doesn't even know what Captain Marvel is. My money is still on Natalie Dormer, but Feige even entertaining the Rousey rumor makes me nervous. 

I doubt many of these actors or actresses know who most of their comic book characters are. I just think she'd be a great fit for the character. Natalie Dormer is not a bad call either though.

Oh for sure, Blunt is a great fit for anything, but she ranted about it a few weeks ago because she was frustrated that there are only like 5 women who ever get mentioned for big action roles.

Rumours abounding that Marvel have swapped the film rights for the Fantastic Four for the tv rights for X-Men, which sounds ruddy marvellous (no pun intended). A potentially good FF film in the MCU plus a fleshed out X-Men universe? Whoop whoop.

Real shame Fox has absolutely ruined the name value of the franchise..  Also a real shame Brad Bird will probably not want to direct a Fantasic Four movie considering he's already done Incredibles.

FF can recover. If Batman can recover from Bat-Nipples, FF can recover from this.

I'm intrigued at them giving away X-Men rights though, last I read they wanted those back too, not to give away more of them.

I'd much rather have marvel x men than marvel fantastic four

[Benji]

Me too, but that's largely because I don't care for the FF (outside of Doom and the fact that an FF film is the closest I'm ever going to get to a Namor appearance). They've been a mixed bag with X-Men films, but if it's one or the other then I'd rather they kept X-Men and FF go to Marvel to give them another shot.

X-Men is the only non Marvel property from the Marvel comics that has been successful lately though. X-Men were never going to Marvel until they bomb a couple of films, and the TV rights aren't going to make a huge difference, Wolverine wasn't about to show up on Agents of Shield. This deal is a win-win.

Only mildly excited for a Fantastic Four film, but Doom and Galactus in Avengers movies should be fantastic.

For me its more about the potential of bringing Galactus and Silver Surfer into the whole cosmic side

[punky]

Given the fact that the MCU has already established that there are no "mutants" in their universe and the X Men were never going to revert back to Marvel, so seems like a fair trade to me. Like was said above, I'd love to see Galactus and Silver Surfer in the cosmic phase.

Rumor is that a new Fantastic Four film is set to be released in 2020 in one of those slots they reserved for Phase 4.

[Benji]

Inhumans in 2018, I wonder if they'll get some kind of cameo in that?

Now the word is those rumors are false.  Then again, I'm pretty sure the Spider-Man thing leaked, was called false and then later confirmed, so who knows..

[apsham]

Dr. Doom is my absolute favorite Marvel villain and he's been fucked up so many times that it hurts. I really hope that Marvel gets a shot at him, because it could be glorious. It's going to take quite the effort though, but I still have faith - over a decade of Fantastic Four fuckery is a bit more of a heavy load than just one set of bat nipples mind.

[Benji]

Nah, not really. All it takes is one good film.

[Colly]

Indeed. If this is happening as soon as the Marvel studios logo pops up on the trailer people will forget the other three. 

[GhostMachine]

I refuse to even watch the recent FF movie. Didn't see it in theaters, won't watch in on dvd. If Heidi decides to get it from Netflix eventually, she'd better watch it while I'm asleep.

 

[LL!]

She better watch it while you're asleep, big guy! You tell her!

I haven't seen this posted yet, so if it has been I apologize, but still, the X-Men cinematic universe will be expanded with a Hellfire Club and a Legion TV shows.
