Trying to make the Fantastic Four look dark, and badass doesn't really work.

And Thing isn't rocky enough.

Namor, Universal Pictures - Script
Ant-Man, Black Panther, Captain America, Nick Fury, Silver Surfer, Thor


this is a fucking joke right!?!? please tell me that it is. maybe DC should make a movie about the detroit-era JLA with vibe and gipsy or maybe a keith giffen-era JLA with gardner and beetle and booster gold. or how about a dan the dinamate man and TNT. or bullet-man
or rag-man. marvel sucks.

My personal opinion:

Elektra: Will turn a profit, but not a super hit
Fantastic: Bomb

X-Men 3: Big hit.
Iron Man: Hit
Ghost Rider: Sadly, bomb(I love GR, miss that comic from the 90's).
Luke Cage: Bomb, they'll probably pull all of the over the top superhero stuff out of it (i.e. Punisher)
The Punisher 2: God I just saw the first movie the other night... what crap. Bomb 2.
Deathlok: Bomb, bomb, bomb
Spider-Man 3: Bom... just kidding.
Namor: hmmm Bomb. It's always a safe guess.
The Hulk 2: If more Hulk smash, less thinking man's movie as they've claimed, could mean big hit.
Wolverine: Huge hit if done right.
Ant-Man, Black Panther, Captain America, Nick Fury, Silver Surfer, Thor: Bomb, Bomb, Hit, Bomb, Bomb, Hit(well maybe not but I really like Thor).


LIVE-ACTION TV PROJECTS IN DEVELOPMENT
* Blade: Yeah this has been floating around for awhile now....

 

[Brian Fellows]

they should just put everything else on hold and make a Deadpool movie.

 

[MC Safety]

I want a Defenders movie.

They're the other guys!

 

[Funky Papa]

Come on, Luke Cage has so much potential, the MAX series really rocked.

 

[BobbyRobby]

Nicholas Cage will have to be a part of the Luke Cage movie somehow, considering he named himself after the character.

 

[G4life98]

i wonder if both avenger projects will be based on the ultimates.

 

[Diablos]

X-Men 3, 2006... Spider-Man 3, 2007? Jeeeezus... that's a long time. Especially for X-Men! The second one came out May of last year. That's a long gap. The movie had better be absolutely flawless in every aspect. Ditto for Spider-Man.

 

[MetatronM]

They can't seriously be considering an Ant-Man movie, can they?

It's pretty obvious they were going to do a Wolverine movie. The only other character Marvel has on or above his level of fame is Spidey, and we all know how that turned out.

 

[hiryu]

All I care about is a Captain America movie set during WWII. Although a proper Hulk, Wolverine, and Thor movie would be cool.

X-Men 3, 2006... Spider-Man 3, 2007? Jeeeezus... that's a long time. Especially for X-Men! The second one came out May of last year. That's a long gap. The movie had better be absolutely flawless in every aspect. Ditto for Spider-Man.

Umm, that's three years until X-Men 3 since X2, which is the exact same gap between X-Men and X2. Nothing has changed.
