That's with Whedon at the helm brah. Cap looked like the cosplay in Smallville. Don't get me started on how terrible the Cap movie was.

I hope I am not the only one who read the headlines as some kind of hostage exchange or human trafficking impression...
A very easy choice since there's a Guardians of the Galaxy movie coming out in 2014. I'm surprised no one other than the article in the OP has mentioned it. They can potentially have access to people like Super Skrull, Ronan, Annihilus etc. too if they end up doing more than one GotG film. So much potential storylines too with Annihilation, Annihilation: Conquest and The Thanos Imperative.

Marvel already has the rights to use Annihilus and Ronan if they choose. But yes, getting these two back would allow them to do the full Annihilation story without any cuts...would be amazing.
Marvel can already use the Kree and Skrulls as well.
I can't agree with this enough times. Feature Film for Annihilation seriously has the potential to be like Star Wars for this generation. No I'm not exaggerating. That story is just...amazing.
You're wrong because Cosmic Marvel.
The worst part of it is that we've seen how good a Batman flick can be, three times now.
Daredevil and Batman aren't the same, but they share themes of darkness, underbelly of society, the forgotten.
A Daredevil movie done with the gravitas of the Nolan flicks, and the necessary budget(not big at all, since DD doesn't do the gadgets and toys of Bruce) would do more for the reputation of Marvel films than any number of Avengers size hits.
Avengers was saturday morning cartoons gone imax.
Batman is comic flick gone "it can be more".
I just wanna see Daredevil be "more".

Daredevil is just a ghetto batman. I want to see Silver Surfer get the respect he deserves. He's gonna take Green Lantern back to school boi

You need to stop saying dumbshit.
I've never read a Galactus story, but I always thought the character design was amazingly badass.
I'm not a huge fan of the de-colorization in the OP, however. All the best comic book movies remain faithful to the beautiful character designs, IMO. Yes I would prefer yellow spandex.

Never noticed that Galactus had Dual Shock square buttons for eyes.
I totally fought that thing at the end of Mass Effect 2.

Who has The Inhumans?
is this strictly movie/tv/video? or do they own rights to the comics too?

Yeah, Disney/Marvel desperately need to get FF back. The whole thing. It has been decided.

To be fair they already have the rights to use a lot of those characters. They just can't relate them to the Fantastic Four, and there are specific characters (such as Galactus and his heralds) which they cannot use at all.

The fantastic four deal that FOX has actually doesn't cover that much though. The deal listed very specific characters, most of which you saw in one of the two FF films already released. There are a small handful of others that are part of the agreement that haven't been used but many characters that "originated in FF" (like Annihilus) were not part of the deal and can already be used by Marvel.

These are the exact characters FOX can use right now from the FF deal. If it isn't listed here Marvel can use them already, as you see it is actually pretty limited:
In fact, Surfer and Galactus are linked to a separate deal, not the FF one, that FOX also happens to own. They used it in conjunction with FF despite that though...it is probable that them being part of a separate license could facilitate this proposed exchange.
EDIT: Sorry for double posting, didn't intend on that.

Btw if anyone wants to see the lists of specific characters tied to each license that Marvel still does not have back yet you can find them here:

Yes they work fine for them without the FF.

Looks like FOX squashed the rumor.
I couldn't imagine any studio wanting to trade Fantastic Four for Daredevil, and I guess I was right.
For shame. Woulda loved to see the F4 family integrated into the Marvel Cinematic U.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh
Well, I guess there's good news in there somewhere, right? I still don't think DD would work too well in MCU as it stands but a Black Widow/Daredevil film could kick ass if they can swing it. Hopefully this means Fox is just gonna let Daredevil die on the table.
That can't be a complete list, Galactus and the heralds aren't in there at all ;p

It is. They aren't in the list part but they are talked about up in the article.
This means "Silver Surfer" is seen as a separate license. I am guessing it includes Galactus and the other Heralds but they admittedly don't go into further detail on that one.

To be fair, a great Daredevil film (think Bendis/Maleev vibe and story beats) would tickle my fancy even more than a great F4 film.
Ryan Gosling as Matt Murdock please.

just because Marvel gets the rights back to Daredevil does't mean they are obligated to incorporate him into the bright and happy Avengerse universe. I believe Disney also has Blade and Punisher so they can do seperate street level hero films.

The Entire FF family or Bust.
While Galactus and Silver Surfer are important id much rather see Avengers 2 Have The Fantastic Four used as a way to introduce Doctor Doom for Avengers 3.

Can you imagine the egotistical self admiration club that would exist between RDJ's Tony Stark, Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner, and an equally smug Reed Richards? That would be incredible.

I didn't think the DD film was that bad. The only problem with Marvel doing a DD movie is that i fear they'd try to play it safe. That and i remember their deal with Merrill Lynch said they could not go any 18 certificate films.I would love the team behind the Raid to do the action fora hypothetical Daredevil reboot. In my dream film, the script would maybe be a courtroom drama, with nonlinear story telling, with action scenes helping to flesh the story out. To those that have read the story i think by Bendis where he
imagines what would would happen if he ran away from the court and broke free and it leads to Bullseye killing Milla i think and he snaps Bullseye's neck (i can't remember clearly it's been a long time) and he decides not to run at the end

So basically Reed's is either a five-digit or four-digit.
I'm all for this if it means we get Shuma in a movie.

fox is really confident in themselves if they think they can revive the daredevil series.
marvel is in such a predicament. get back an ip for another ip which would probably never revoke ownership or let them rot with the IP. its so enticing obviously because Galatus would fit perfectly for an avengers followup.

I can kinda see him as it. I'd cast maybe Jeffrey Donovon Michael Westen from Burn Notice as Daredevil but he might be a tad bit too old.
