Is there a particular reason Doctor Strange hasn't released digitally here in the UK ? Amazon, iTunes and the Play Store all have it pegged for the 28th (the physical release date). I was hoping to pick it up today and watch through the behind the scenes stuff, what a shame.
Other regions, other releasedate
The UK digital release date is the 28th ?! What a bummer.
Huh...there's Team Thor Part 2.

Someone here from TV-GAF mentioned that it is way more time than other TV productions. So they have plenty of time.

Mr. Johnson is a working class father does what he can to ensure his son will grow up to be a great man. Liam will be played by Carl Lundstedt (Greys Anatomy, Conviction), a salt-of-the-earth townie who operates as Tandys partner in crime while moonlighting as her boyfriend. . But underneath his rough-around-the-edges appearance, Liam has big dreams. Portrayed by James Saito (Life of Pi, The Devils Advocate), Dr. Bernard Sanjo has been an emotional cornerstone in Tyrones life; they have a most unusual relationship. J.D. Evermore (True Detective, The Walking Dead) will take the part of Detective Connors, who is a contradiction of a man, embracing an intimidating persona that overcompensates for a secret he keeps close to the vest.

The physical release date actually seems to be the 6th March here according to Amazon and HMV.

It's the worst aspect of Guardians of the Galaxy. Gunn seems to have it in his head that interesting alien designs don't fit in in the Marvel universe and that all aliens should be humanoid.

Now Laurence Fishburne is throwing shade for the studio that gave him work.
Hard for me to believe he's into comics.

He's a fan. Can't easily google it (because search is deluged with this news item) but I remember him talking about various characters he was a fan of. And it was about as deep as Coulson mentioning he read Warlock at NYCC once.

Wow Thor 3 could easily be the unexpected best MCU film this year for me.
Please go watch What We Do in the Shadows and Hunt for the Wilderpeople pls.

Been that way for me since SDCC. Out of everything Marvel showed at that panel, Ragnarok's stuff was by far the most impressive/exciting. I don't think they've even released the art of all the crazy locations yet. If Waititi can somehow bring together all the stuff in the movie, I can't imagine it not being one of the MCU's best films.
Nothing unexpected about it imo. It'll be the next Iron Man 3. I'm sure some people will get bent when it's not what they expected, but this is going to be one awesome unique film.
Been telling people to not sleep on Ragnarok when Waititi was tapped to direct.
No clue tbh.
Would make sense.

I think Brie Larson was listed in the casting call and the Russos "confirmed" her, but who knows, really? Given that Feige said Captain Marvel would be an origin story ("from the start"), I'd say we can't expect much (for IW).
The honest answer is that none of us know.
Edit:
Good God, don't let Captain Marvel be a prequel though.

It does make sense, if they could get FF back, Galactus would be cool. I kind of want Kang the Conquer.

For real, Thor has a great cast of supporting characters but all Dark World gave us was two forgettable throwaway villains in Malekith and Kurse.

I'm guessing she shows up in IW, but doesn't get powers until her own movie. She's military (I assume) so it would still make sense for her to be around without them.

If only they could do Kang Dyanasty and stretch it across an entire phase.
Wait. What parts don't they own for Kang?

Well, I think this is where the rights are more nebulous. Kang appears in the Avengers comics, but he's strongly affiliated with the F4. It's like the Kingpin issue, where Kingpin appears first in Spider-Man but is strongly affiliated with Daredevil.
So, there's legal wrangling needed, but it's a shared character imo. I just think Feige would rather use Kang for an F4 story than an Avengers story but it all depends really.

Hmm. That's weird. Maybe it works such that the side the character is most closely linked to gets the rights. Kang's appeared in a hell of lot more FF stories than Avengers, so maybe that was the criteria. It would explain Kingpin as well.
It's whatever is explicitly spelled out in the contracts. Scarlett Witch and Quicksilver are the lone exception to that rule as far as we know. Grey areas don't really exist with character rights. Same reason Namor is a mutant but can never appear in a Fox movie, same reason Eden Fesi is in the MCU as an Inhuman even though he's a mutant in the books.

Kang, Immortus, whatever. I would just love to see him in a movie as the villain. But he is tied to FF. There are so many great side characters tied up with those rights that it is infuriating. Everyone rightfully lamenting Doom being tied up with those rights (and Doom would be nothing without Reed Richards. RICHAAAAAARDS!), but so many other great villains and whatnot are bound to it as well.
Kang, Annihilus, Silver Surfer, Galactus, Super Skrull. Ugh, it hurts. So many things that Marvel could just go balls to the wall crazy with if they could.

I don't think so. I very seriously doubt that each contract they had spelled out explicitly which characters they could and couldn't use. More likely, the way the contracts were worded likely stated "Fantastic Four and all Fantastic Four affiliated characters." Namor was sold separately, hence why he's not available and was likely retconned into being a mutant since Namor was part of the initial Invaders books. Fesi was a Secret Warriors character, one Marvel owns as evidenced by Quake, so he's a character that showed up in a TV/Studios-owned book and is affiliated with Studios properties, hence he's theirs. He may be a mutant but there's a loophole or something that says newly created mutants are Studios' IP not Fox's.
I think, in actuality, there are way more gray areas than we know of. Stuff like Kang or Fin Fang Foom or Nextwave or whatnot is in there because of the confusion as to who is affiliated with what. At the end of the day, Fox, Studios, Sony and whoever needed to settle on which characters can be used on where so that none of them sues the other for breach of contract. That's why they need a lot of time to parse the legalese used when these contracts were signed to not only work out who has what but also what is shared.
So, in Kang's case, he's most strongly associated with F4 so he is Fox's. The Shi'ar were created in an X-Men comic and have mainly fought the X-Men hence they are Fox's too. The Skrulls are in both because of Secret Invasion and their origin in the F4. That's how I think it breaks down.

Marvel can use Skrulls, but not Super Skrull, especially since his entire power base is tied to the FF. Of course, that wouldn't stop them from having random Skrulls with powers of random characters in the MCU, but they have so few "gifted" or "enhanced" characters to draw from it wouldn't work well quite yet.

I think it's actually a mix of both. Certain characters are specifically named while also having, for lack of a better term, a "base rule" ala "You get access to all characters introduced in X" for brevity's sake. I remember reading a story about it when going in to some X-Men rights but that was years ago and I can't find the specific article. It's not like that's all there is to the contracts though and I'm sure there are other details and exceptions written in to call out or exempt certain characters among other things.

I don't recall Eden Fesi being in the MCU? Where?
