James Gunn confirms that Kang the Conquerer belongs to Fox. Goddamit.
Crosses fingers for the Fantastic Four film to bomb.

Also that he's a descendant of Reed Richards I would guess.
FF is looking okay to me. I understand the potential of another property going back to Marvel if it fails, but I hope Fox ends up making a decent FF movie. The cast looks fine, but I wish we'd see more of them interact as a group in the trailers. Doom is the big question mark, and he might end up being the weak link of it all, but we'll see.

Omg Kang?? 
I'm hopeful that the F4 movie will be decent (& if the rumors of Matthew Vaughn taking over for the reshoots are true, the film may be saved yet). But I have a bad feeling that at the very least, Doom's gonna once again be fucked up 6 ways to Sunday.

I'm so bummed about no Kang. He seemed like the obvious next step for Phase 4 and beyond.

Well, if they want a future character who has already beaten all the heroes, they could always use Maestro. It would be a different sort of story, of course, just use a few of the same themes.
And then I would grin so hard that my face would split in half.

They could do Future Imperfect as the stand alone Hulk movie. Maybe alter it so human Banner gets brought to the future, and in the future "The Other Guy" is in control at all times and gone insane. That way they don't have to have CGI Hulk all the time and still show Ruffalo.

Do we know who has the rights to non-franchise specific Marvel Universe stuff?
Like the Savage Land, or Madripoor?
The Blue Area of the Moon?
The Watcher?
Is it where they first showed up?

Except they don't have rights to a solo Hulk film. Yet.
Also, AoU spoilers,
the way they had the ending of Age of Ultron, it is entirely conceivable, maybe even likely, to make Merged Hulk come out of that. They had the Hulk/Banner transformation interrupted right in the middle and then after that Hulk proceeded to do a number of very non-Hulk-like things, such as take Widow to safety before going after the bad guy, calmly close the back hatch of the plane, and turn off the comms.
Either way, I really hope they give Maestro a shot in the films now that they're focussing on him more in the comics. Such a great villain, he should be up there with Magneto and Doom and the like.
Who would stand in the way?

Really want to see Gladiator
Marvel shares the rights to the Skrulls with Fox like they share the Maximoff Twins & Madame Hydra. However Fox has exclusive rights over Kl'rt/Super-Skrull (though we don't know if Marvel can use any of the other Super-Skrulls or not).

So what would go into a deal like sharing just one character, like Kang but not anyone like Reed Richards or whatever?

Masters of Evil for Phase 4, I hope. You can bring in all the old villains:
Stane, Loki, Red Skull, Abomination, Ultron, etc etc.

I was hoping this would be the end of Infinity War...
LMAO another dude thats smirking in a chair.
I mean the original Secret Wars by Jim Shooter.

It could never happen the way we want it to. Hickman's Avengers, along with his Secret Wars, is the exact kind of story that can really only be done in a comic book.

Hulk one is my favorite!
But lol at Black Widow being a bit, uh, cross-eyed

Of course. I was just imagining how good it could be.

It would be so beautiful ;_;
Wanda is the one making the pancakes.
Cross-eyed heroines are the new weirdly-proportioned female poses.
No Vision either.
It may be old, but the source kinda went under the radar. James Gunn verified that he 100% pulls from the DnA stuff for Guardians. Couple this with the fact that he warned Chris Pratt against reading the Bendis stuff a while back, it's safe to assume that any Bendis members of the team (Angela, Captain Marvel, Agent Venom, etc.) are a no-go.
Good.
Fine,though I can't believe him that much. Ofc I loved the movie though it was much different than the DnA run. Drax is a brute, Gamora is not a lusty woman, Quill is an outlaw instead of a genius tactician. Rocket and Groot are pretty close. ofc we don't know how much Feige had influence.
I think he means more of the stories than anything else. Meaning that characters & story arcs from the Bendis run will go ignored.
She obviously looks the part, but I think they'll go for a more high-profile actress

Yes, hire the woman that is the star of a new TV series. Her schedule won't be monopolized by the show at all.

TV actors regularly film movies when the show is on break. Occasionally shows will accommodate for films as well and work around the actor's schedule.
