There is a Venom movie coming out next year starring Tom Hardy. There is talk of using Black cat and Silver sable in future movies. Not sure if the sinister six idea is still alive

Calaveron posted:I mean, selling the rights back to Marvel at this point would definitely be more profitable than making a new FF movie, if whatever garbage piece of poo poo came out recently is any indication They probably know they're sitting on a shitload of money since Dr Doom is worth like a phase of marvel movies along with Annhilus/Galactus being worth at the least a GotG movie or two. Hoping to wait Disney out while they burn through Thanos and maybe try to come up with a good Kang story that isn't mind boggling.

Dark_Tzitzimine posted:Amusingly, in the most recent retelling of Darkseid origin turns out Darkseid used to be a farmer named Uxas who sow distrust among the old gods, prompting them to destroy each other. I'm pretty sure the Uxas stuff is from the same guy that created Thanos, for what it's worth.

I'm going to go out on a limb here & assume that Thanos is a leftist, proposing even the mildest criticism of liberalism (like "I don't want my family to die in the loving mines") - who, once he gains even a modicum of power, becomes a totalitarian(!!!) because it's the end of history and you gotta be gradual. His inevitable death at the hands of the Cartoon All-Stars To The Rescue will be presented as tragic but necessary.

Mark Ruffalo says there won't be a solo Hulk movie.quote:I want to just make one thing perfectly clear today: A standalone ‘Hulk’ movie will never happen,” confirmed Ruffalo. “Universal has the rights, and for some reason, they don’t know how to play well with Marvel. And, they don’t want to make money.” http://variety.com/2017/film/news/hulk-mark-ruffalo-avengers-infinity-war-disney-d23-1202496785/

Dark_Tzitzimine posted:Mark Ruffalo says there won't be a solo Hulk movie. Wait Marvel has the rights to use the character but not in his own film? Weird. Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Pretty major possible spoilers, but apparently Thanos has a second costume in the movie that looks very different from his reveal costume. In a clip that looks like it's from near the end of the movie he has a helmet, some very ornate golden armor, and a still incomplete Infinity Gauntlet that matches the armor, which he uses to apparently kill Thor by crushing his head. Not quite. (Major spoilers for Infinity War obviously, and very minor spoilers for Spiderman: Homecoming)Here's a description of the full clip from Gizmodo. Apparently they took people's cellphones away before it so it's unlikely to be leaked. RatHat fucked around with this message at 06:08 on Jul 16, 2017 |

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:I don't think they are going to keep escalating. Feige has said that Infinity War will be the last "big" MCU movie for a long time. The buzzwords/format going forward is "Unexpected team-ups and intimate character stories." A brief review of cosmic level threats in Marvel comics indicates that there should really be a series in which various heroes team up and fight a cosmic entity known as Hyperbole whose job it is to empower threats to the entire universe to continually assault Earth.

Also a brief glace at the Marvel wiki reveals that Thanos is Eternals royalty, but was also a Deviant, which is their equivalent of a human mutant. It makes him more closely resemble a Deviant, who are the enemies of the Eternals, but are evidently not just mutant Eternals. Now you know that, I guess.

I'm not sure that the films will do with him, but nihilists like comics Thanos bump this up a level; they threaten the dominant order by rejecting the notion that its ideological preoccupations matter at all and open up the entire range of existential possibility. This rejection of the dominant ideology is typically imagined as inevitably resulting in a power mad tyrant as above, but one who seeks to impose either utter annihilation or an inescapable dystopia which is equivalent to eternal damnation. It isn't that different from what you're suggesting. It's just that rather than a specific opposing ideology, the very possibility of an alternative is summarized as nihilism threatening to push reality over an event horizon into the abyss. In comics, this is usually redeemable because the whole affair often ends up being too uneven and quirky to be as stiflingly dull as this might suggest.

Apparently they took people's cellphones away before it so it's unlikely to be leaked. Yeah, he just picks him up. There was no crushing. They didn't take the phones per se, they made us all put them in sealed bags which couldn't be re-opened until the panel was over. I was sitting in the second row in the center section. Was about 25 feet from all the actors as they came out from backstage. Pretty awesome. Oprah was also awesome, doing her give away thing with a Wrinkle in Time poster. Seth Rogen also came out from the back stage green room to sit with us commoners for some reason. Supporting Lion King I guess? Bob Iger and John Lasseter also did the same.

I'm pretty sure the only way Fox gives the Fantastic Four rights to Disney/Marvel Studios is if Fox gets, like, Monday Night Football or something else huge.

Mr President posted:Uh there have already been two Hulk movies though. One of which is 100% official canon with the MCU. That was before Disney. You need to remember, Disney and Marvel didn't be a thing until after the first two movies. Iron man 2 was the beginning of the Disney Marvel era, for good and ill. Marvel Studios at that point were willing to co-produce movies with any studio they could. In theory we could have seen Fox-Marvel movies or Sony-Marvel movies. Once Disney got them, their ability to co-produce vanished. The way the Incredible Hulk was made was very different compared to the way Spider-Man Homecoming was made.

Universal just doesn't want to see Disney get even richer from the merchandising. Like, things aren't gonna get less favorable for Universal, they barely have to even have marketing budgeted for a solo Hulk outing. This is entirely Universal not wanting Disney's obscene pile of cash getting bigger on their own account. Which is fair. VAGENDA OF MANOCIDE fucked around with this message at 15:51 on Jul 16, 2017 |

Yeah, I think there's a similar logic to why Fox won't sell Disney back the rights to Fantastic Four. Back when Fant4stic came out, someone here pointed out that nobody wants to be that exectutive to sell Disney back the rights to F4 and then see them make all the money in the world.

Gyges posted:The sad thing is that Fox has managed to gently caress up Doom in every single one of their Fantastic Four movies. How do you get to be that incompetent? Doom really only works as a campy, goofy villain. Comic readers are always posting these panels of him making pseudo meta jokes about his own dialogue quirks, the concept of an evil king, being named "Doom", etc. The temptation is to make him serious and "badass" but it doesn't work because the concept is too camp - his motivation is his obsession with his college roomie, he builds robots of himself to watch them die, lives in a gothic castle and acts like a Hammer villain. A bunch of people are going to go off about how badass he is cause he wore his wife's skin or something and he's so smart and he's also a wizard and and but none of that is badass, it's insanely goofy. Which is good, but it's not going to make the screen anytime soon.

Although apart from The Fate of the Furious this year those are the only billion dollar films they've had since Jurassic Park back in '93. Edit: they've also had a whole bunch of terrible flops recently like The Mummy, The Great Wall, Warcraft, The Huntsman: Winter's War, Jem and the Holograms, Steve Jobs, etc etc..

Can Marvel pull some bullshit where they say that since Doom 2099 was technically Christoph/a Doom-Bot/whatever they can use Doom 2099 because his character/story/whatever is so disconnected from the Fantastic Four? Doom 2099 had such an emphasis on the cyberspace technocrat stuff he'd actually fit into how a lot of the current MCU works really well.
