Ant-Man's rights were originally sold most likely because he was cheap, but that deal fell apart and has nothing to do with the current production except that it's where Wright became involved. The current Ant-Man production is 100% Marvel, so they're neither concerned with him being cheap, or being a founding Avenger since in the MCU he isn't. They decided to hire Wright because they liked the work he had already done. So were it not for his script, the movie would have gone into limbo like Morbius, Longshot and Power Pack.

So apparently Iron Fist is now in limbo because they're not sure just how much supernatural stuff to involve in the Netflix series. All the other series are staying relatively grounded (relatively speaking), and Danny Rand's chi-focusing kind of knocks that into a cocked hat. It probably doesn't help that they still haven't cast him yet, either.

Thor kind of went out of its way to repeatedly reinforce the idea that what the Asgardians have is science so advanced that it might as well be magic, and it seems like they're being cautious about how they're handling Doctor Strange. Pretty much all the powered MCU characters have at least a basic explanation for how they can do what they do. Iron Fist and Doctor Strange are game changers because they start implementing "It's magic, we don't have to explain it." edit: STAC Goat posted:And Luke Cage has super strength and Jessica Jones flys. Except we don't have official confirmation of their MCU powersets yet. I mean, I really don't see them taking that away from Cage, but the flight ability might just be outside the budget.

Hank Pym got slapped by Jocasta's creepy fleshy hands (that he gave her, and also bear in mind Jocasta is the robot Ultron created with Janet's personality etc), because he was using her to try and save Janet from the microverse after she got kerploded by the Skrulls. He pissed off his creepy robot wife by secretly using her to search for his actual wife. Plus there's that horrendous panel of a shrunken down Hank telling Janet that it's her turn when they're having sex. Why was he shrunk down there??

Secondly, the only "Iron Fist in limbo" rumor I could find starts on CinemaBlend who links back to a birthmoviesdeath.com article written by Devin Faraci. For those who don't remember Devin Faraci is the is the guy who tweeted that the then upcoming Daredevil show was very bad. Then when the show came out and everyone loved it he briefly went with "oh I haven't seen it I'm just passing along what I'd heard" defense, before he eventually started outright insulting people. Daredevil had an entire episode dedicated to Stick, The Hand and the Beast so I doubt they're changing their minds now. This all sounds like standard internet clickbait bullshit.

Crane Mother (probably) already happened, they didn't shy away from a 90 year old woman knocking Matt on his rear end. Danny Rand's healing powers aren't that much beyond that they've show in Matt's to be.

He went down the slap train to Ultrontown and on a long trip down West Coast Avengers Lane before a brief stopover in Skrulltown. Dude worked HARD to be a fuckup. Which is only really a matter of degree, making him at most the low point of a long line of other characters and not any kind of exception. And honestly, if we're going to talk low points, Carol Danvers has a strong contender for the single worst story in Marvel history and then spent years as a voice in Rogue's head once she was brought back from that low point before finally actually getting to be a B-list Avenger member. It's only in the last maybe 10 years that she's gotten to be a big name character. She could have easily become just another Z-list heroine no-one remembers for most of her publication history. Several writers put in some care and thought to her though, and she eventually began to shine. Which I think can happen with any character. I mean, if we're talking bad stories, Spider-man possibly has the most of any Marvel character. Clone Saga, One More Day, Sins Past, Maximum Carnage, The Other, Spider-verse and you could probably go on at length more than for any other Marvel character. And some of them aren't even that old. Having bad stories never hurt his character too much. It's probably because he was liked well before any of those came out, where Hank was mostly just dull and there for much of his history. And then get infamous for something silly, which writers continually revisit to try and make him relevant or something. Still, there's some cool stuff lurking there I'd like to see more of personally despite all the bad is all I'm really saying. Aphrodite posted:Ant-Man's rights were originally sold most likely because he was cheap, but that deal fell apart and has nothing to do with the current production except that it's where Wright became involved. It's got nothing to do with it beyond being the reasons that it exist in the first place. Which has something to do with it. And probably happened because he was the cheapest of the founding/headlining Avengers to buy. And while we'll never really be able to settle this in reality since we can't just straight up ask Feige or someone in a position to answer, I still find it highly unlikely that Marvel Studios wasn't hoping to push out an Ant-Man movie before or around the fist Avengers film given that he was the only founding Avenger's member without a film or public recognition. They couldn't as it happens, but I personally don't think that doesn't mean they weren't trying at some point. As is, it's known that Feige spoke to Wright in 2006 asking him to make an Ant-man movie for the first slate of movies to be put out. It's not definitive proof he would have been in the Avengers had it actually come out in a remotely expeditious manner, but it's pretty suggestive. Wright even says that they considered having a flashback to a 60's Hank Pym using the Ant-man gear before the story settled in to a contemporary setting for the rest of the film. Rarity posted:People in this thread not showing enough respect to Earth's Scientist Supreme I'd be alright with Scientist Supreme if it was just Hank deciding to make it his own title because he thought it sounded cool (it does) or as a statement of intent towards Reed and other scientists who've given him stick over the years. I know it isn't that, but it could have been a fun bit of characterization on his part to have him trying to make it a self-fulfilling prophecy and/or some more delusions of grandeur. tsob fucked around with this message at 21:30 on Jul 7, 2015 |

In Marvel news, it seems that they're using Ant-Man as a test to see about getting out the origin story via social media. They've created a Google+ and Twitter Account for the fictional WHiH World News network. The network was seen in the movies reporting on the Battle At Culver University (The Incredible Hulk), the Battle Of Sokovia (Age Of Ultron), and on Daredevil, reporting on Wilson Fisk. The past couple of weeks, they've been talking about Scott Lang, and today, this "report" showed up on Mashable. I think it's a pretty interesting way to do it. If it works for them, we'll probably see Dr. Strange's origin story this way. Edit: The video seems to be helping set up Civil War at the very beginning, and mentions an earthquake in Southern Africa (Wakanda? Probably...).

It's probably my personal dislike of the charactet then, but god loving Ant-Man why the gently caress would you make a movie about Ant-Man he's such a boring soul sucking char I totally agreed with you until I saw the theatrical trailer. I couldn't imagine how they would fit a character like that in with the MCU as it is now. I had the same thought about GotG as I'm sure many others did but they knocked that one out of the park and so far the reviews on Ant-Man are really good as well. It seems Marvel just has to put out a movie vaguely tied to the Avengers and billions of dollars start falling from the sky.
