Captain America. I would think a period agents of shield might work better. I wonder if marvel would even be willing to touch old properties like the (robot) human torch, the wizzer, miss America, etc. that they know there's no chance would show up in the films.

I'd have been much more interested in a Peggy Carter series than one headlined by fanboy standin Coulson even before AoS proved abysmal. Edit: Both because Carter's more interesting and (mainly) because I want to see more of that time period anyways. Urdnot Fire fucked around with this message at 20:41 on Jan 17, 2014 |

Are the other Howling Commandos going to be supporting characters? I think I'd be more interested if Dum Dum Dugan was involved.

Universal has the Namor rights explicitly. Namor apparently has some other weird rights stuff too, because the devs of Marvel Heroes said they don't have access to him.

^^^ Fox has those, so Universal getting Namor is even more peculiar. Aphrodite posted:They just got them in 2006. That's still 8 years ago. Fox and Sony both have to put out stuff every few years or something like that. I think the longest they can go is 10? I mean, Fox did that early 90's FF movie just to keep the rights refreshed and then never released it, didn't they?

Nah, but something like the Jessica Jones show makes more sense in the context of modern TV. This seems like something that could maybe have been successful in the early 2000s, but probably not today. Of course that also describes Agents of SHIELD.

Oh so they have decided against recasting Agent Carter. That's nice of them. When the series was first announced like a year ago, before AoS debuted, there was a rumor that Hayley Atwell wasn't going to be in it, which was weird because she had just done the short film and it didn't seem like she would be too busy to get her own primetime television series.
