I'd say give up the whole FF universe or no deal. I have a feeling Marvel might just buy those rights back anyways if Galactus is in the plan for future movies.

Why would they buy the rights back if they can get SS and Galactus back in exchange for Daredevil, a much inferior character?

They can do SS and Galactus without the FF.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Silver Surfer and Galactus for Dwight Howard.

 

[kai3345]

Because the world is just itching for another Daredevil film?

The R-Rated cut is actually really good, like a totally different movie

 

[tenchir]

how about Kang the Konqueror or the masters of evil?

They are probably more unknown than

Spoiler

Thanos

and Galactus in terms of the threat they represent.

 

[echoshifting]

You guys need to read more Ultron stories. He'd work just fine.

 

[Bleepey]

According to rumor and hearsay the first script was very dark, gritty and somewhat brutal, but some Fox shithead wanted a safe summer blockbuster instead.

Fuck.

For the love of fuck. No. No. No No. No. They need to make it as violent and dark and gritty as possible. Maybe slightly Nolanised but with an 19 certificate. DD is a character who has been shat on so much that it's become kinda a running joke in comics. His mother left him as a kid, his father was a violent asshole, he was bullied as a kid, his father was killed before him, he lost his eye sight, his gf died and for a comic book character stayed dead, his on/off girlfriend keeps trying to kill him, she keeps dieing and comes back to kill him, his wife killed someone and went batshit insane, one of the most productive relationships he had was with a woman he had an affair with, his secret identity is well, not so secret, have i missed anything not to spoilerific out? Also

This site has a shit tonne of info about the Man without fear and the articles are pretty on point.

 

[Zzoram]

I don't think anything is more of a threat than Galactus, who wants to EAT Earth.

 

[Slayven]

Avengers 3 should be about bringing shit home and making it personal. Masters of Evil would be perfect for that.

 

[Funky Papa]

It's still shit. Liquid shit.

 

[tenchir]

He's more of a terrestrial threat than a cosmic one. I thought that the movie Avengers were established for something that is outside of earth influence.

Do the rights to Gah Lak Tus come with the rights to Galactus?

that sounds like one miserable fucking movie christ

 

[MisterHero]

what would they do without Reed Richards and the Ultimate Nullifier? D:

 

[WrenchNinja]

All I want is an Annihilation film. Is that too much to ask?

Herald, my rage!

 

[Replicant]

So the option is between getting Daredevil back or Silver Surfer + Galactus back. Hmm, tough choices.

 

[Dram]

I hope they use Galactus. Gah Lak Tus were giant robot bug ships weren't they?

 

[mjc]

They can do SS and Galactus without the FF.

I suppose they could, but it would just be kind of awkward.

Yeah and they were utter horse shit.

Somebody put Aronofsky on the phone.

I really hope the Avengers arent just all cosmic villains. Do Ultron in 2 and save Thanos for 3

 

[Messypandas]

whats the odds of Avengers 3 being a Marvel zombies movie? couldn't they get away with half the characters they don't own movie versions of having half ripped symbols and such?

 

[Vermillion]

I feel Ultron would be a step down tier wise after

Thanos

.

Ultron would be a huge step down from

Thanos

Yeah, he's a pretty big threat.

Same here, that would get old fast.

The whole trading properties around is so dumb.

I could see it being made into a straight to dvd animated movie.

 

[Zzoram]

When the Marvel Cinematic Universe eventually withers away and stops making money or being popular is when they should bust out Marvel Zombies. At that point, they would theoretically be able to reclaim all their characters for cheap if they are out of favor, and could use the end of Marvel Zombies leading into an alternate universe to reboot the MCU.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

Decisions like these will try the hardest of men.

Seriously...Marvel needs to act quick before whoever is over at Fox sobers up.

How do you find that link? It's the site of a friend I lost touch with, really nice guy.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

That's dumb. The Marvel Cinematic Universe would benefit so much more from The Fantastic Four themselves, even just the presence of the Baxter Building in Avengers 2, or Dr. Doom. Silver Surfer and Galactus are almost useless in the film context without the rest.

 

[SmithnCo]

lol what are they going to do with the FF reboot?

 

[Messypandas]

I could see it being made into a straight to dvd animated movie.

as dumb as it sounds i could see the third angle exploring alternate dimensions. 2nd movie escalates things to a galactic threat. you're not gonna top that and you have to keep things daring. it may not be zombies but a fucking wasteland of some type would be epic

 

[Dram]

I wonder if that means the new Fantastic Four movies will just be just based on Earth? Without Galactus and Silver Surfer what would be the point of going into space?

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Why does this thread title remind of the racial draft from Chappelle's Show?

 

[shira]

I could see it being made into a straight to dvd animated movie.

Disney has the rights to the entire Marvel stable for animation.

Live action and games are all mixed

 

[SmithnCo]

Please just try to get Daredevil. SS or Galactus without FF is meh.

 

[jambo]

Do it Disney/Marvel, do it!

I'd love for it to be a HBO series. The character has gone through so much shit Bruce Wayne would have force fed himself a bullet a long time ago. Plus he is a character that is a lawyer by day vigilante by night. He has to come to terms with the fact he is a man at conflict with his faith, his friends and his actions. He works within a system that he feels he has to work outside of. If anyone has read Bendis' run on DD you would know how perfect for TV it would be. Have any Gaffers read it or any runs of DD?

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Just give them the whole fucking FF rights please. Marvel movies haven't been that good, but put it in the hands of people who care.

 

[BadAss2961]

Silver Surfer and Galactus for Dwight Howard.

But Dwight won't sign the extension. Dwight will only sign with WB to team with Justice League.

 

[Forever]

Silver Surfer and Galactus for Dwight Howard.

I lol'd.

 

[Big Baybee]

A Marvel FF film would be amazing. Hope they get those rights fully back and not just a few characters here and there.

 

[Nizz]

Fox should just give the whole Fantastic Four Universe back to Marvel

I wish that was the case too. Fantastic Four seems like a good fit for a company like Disney. Man, for Disney to have Fantastic Four and most things associated with them like Galactus and Silver Surfer...

As far as Daredevil, I hope to god Fox gets it right this time. I thought Ben Affleck made a good Matt Murdock/Daredevil but the movie itself was terrible. After DD, I'm surprised how Mark Steven Johnson got another superhero gig directing Ghost Rider, another awesome character but terrible movie.

I agree but what bankable villains do they really have access to?

Cool. Like I said guy was a really nice dude and very up on Shaw Brothers films and the Five Deadly Venoms, never knew he wrote about the FF movie.

I must confess that I only have like the first 15 issues or so (originals, even!). I liked him quite a bit in Alias, though, and his dynamic with Luke Cage is good stuff. It's a crying shame they dropped Alia's TV adaptation.

 

[kai3345]

Ultron, Zemo and the Masters of Evil, MODOK and AIM

Heck even the Wrecking Crew, as long as there's another villain there to buff them

I'd read most of bendis run, and the following and next to Batman, DD is one of my favorite characters.
But yes, his life is dark. Pitch black dark, which is fitting for a blind hero/anti-hero.
The reveal that Matt Murdock was Daredevil is easily one of my favorite story arcs.

Just the thought of a Nolanish DD movie has me tipping over my computer desk with manmeat.

Hell, his senses are on par with wolverine, and his kungfu Batman level.
They did him such a disservice with the Affleck flick.

 

[BadAss2961]

I don't know if any of the villains in this universe are exactly bankable. None of them translate that well to film. Loki looked like a Power Rangers villain in Avengers.

 

[fredrancour]

Do it marvel! I have no interest in daredevil. SS and galactus deserve to go to the studio likely to do better with it.
