Avengers Assemble!

[Anderson]

Sounds like it's gonna be THOR 2 FEATURING IRON MAN (AND OTHERS)

What's killing me about it is that there's just so much shit floating out there and the only thing concrete at this point is that FOX has no intention on letting Marvel/Disney use anything they own...EVER.

But, SONY and Lionsgate are throwing down in the same ring to pick over what they still control.

So, here's what's off the table

Spider-Man
Iron Fist
Wolverine
ANY X-MAN EVER
The Fantastic Four
The Skrulls
Magneto
Doctor Doom
Galactus
Silver Surfer
Doctor Octopus
The Lizard
Green Goblin
Daredevil
The Punisher
Ghost Rider
Mephisto
The Shiar (yeah...seriously)
The Inhumans
The Negative Zone
Venom (will revert back to Marvel this year)
Quicksilver
The Scarlet Witch
Sentinels
Senator Robert Kelly
Franklin Richards
and many others that I can't pull down off the top of my head)

Never have I hated Fox more than I do at this moment.

Just leaving Black Bolt to the terrigen mists is such a waste of awesome potential. Doubly so for Lockjaw. And Galactus. And the Surfer. And Doom. And oh god how do you just fucking sit on all of that? It's a license to print money.

[Abraham Smashington]

Yay, I was sorta right!

[Captain Russ]

I wish you were dead wrong. For Starlord's sake.

By the way, where does Starlord and his ilk fall under in the rights management between the studios?

I know Gladiator and Annihilus are both Fox prisoners, but what about the other guys out there? What about Rocket Raccoon? I know no one gives a flying fuck about RR, but I do. I do.

No word on Starlord.

Rocket Raccoon is already part of the Guardians of the Galaxy proposal for 2014. It would be a Marvel/Disney production.


The way it's looking like now is:


The Avengers
Thor 2
Iron Man 3
Dr. Strange
Power Pack (since Runaways is dead in the water)
Ant-Man
Guardians of the Galaxy
The Avengers 2

I was suprised that more people didn't spot it. I had heard it was coming, but when I saw the trailer for the trailer last Monday...it just like BLARGH.

But, every scene that has leaked and every set picture shown allows for it to be Loki and his goons as well. It just sucks that they had to go this route.

[Abraham Smashington]

I'm bummed about no Runaways flick. I really enjoy that series.

I was way more bummed when Y: The Last Man stalled out. BKV lost any steam he had coming off of Lost and he just seems to be rolling into more indie projects.

Molly Hayes deserves big screen treatment. That little girl would sell so much merchandise that it would pay for the flick ten times over.

[Abraham Smashington]

I never thought they could do Y justice so I never got my hopes for that one. But yeah, Molly is freaking awesome.

TAKE ALL OF MY MONEY, MOUSE HOUSE.

[Anderson]

TAKE ALL OF MY MONEY, MOUSE HOUSE.

Shit like this is why I feel like I'm in a bubble sometimes, the announcement was nearly a year ago.

I just hear it, log it and go on about my business.

[Captain Russ]

I'm glad you're in the bubble, because some of the announcements slip by me with the greatest of ease.

[FilmNerdJamie]

The Avengers is just going to be superhero reaction shots to shit happening off-screen.

Surprisingly Kevin Smith didn't direct it.

[Abraham Smashington]

Still more pumped for this than Spiderman, Bond, The Hobbit, etc.

[Matt]

PROMETHEUS and JOHN CARTER are the two films that I'm most stoked for.
