Oh well. Let's see how this goes. I'm still doubtful a good movie is going to come out of this, but if we have to have one hopefully it's at least decent.

Oh, well. Let's hope for the best (LOL), but prepare for the worst.

Lol, I don't think anyone called you racist.
But for real though. What's so dumb or unbelievable about about an isolationist ubertech country in a universe where Norse Gods are real aliens from another dimension, sentient trees and anthropomorphic raccoons roam the galaxy, A billionaire flies around in a robot exoskeleton for fun, a super man from the 40's was frozen in ice and revived 70 years later, and another guy turns in to a giant unstoppable green rage monster when he gets angry? Why do you draw the line at "country with a lot more tech than usual"?
That's about the only thing we can hope for. It bombs so bad that Fox gives up rebooting it again.
This movie is releasing in exactly a year right?? Man...do they even have enough time to make the special effect looks good?

Fox will never "give up," but they might approach Marvel to sell them the rights back if it bombs. No way is Marvel getting those rights back for free, though.
I dunno, "free" is relative. Fox has to continue to invest in the franchise for the contract to extend. If it reaches a point where they feel the franchise is no longer worth any money to them, they'll let it lapse. Isn't hardly about whether Marvel gets it back "for free" or not, because that in itself means nothing to Fox. If Fox feels that they can continue to invest 100-150 million on a Fantastic Four film and make the money back, they will continue to do so. If they feel otherwise, they will let it lapse.
At this point Marvel doesn't need Fantastic Four, so there's no reason they would need to go out of their way to pay Fox, especially if Fox is losing money on it. It'll all come down to whether the business makes sense. Fox will never let X-Men go because it's actually making them a lot of money. Same with Sony and Spider-man. If Fantastic Four no longer makes money for Fox, they'll move on. I doubt it'll bomb enough for that to happen though.
FFFFFUUUUUUU--
Does the thing only have to be in production for Fox to hold the rights?

I'm pretty convinced Marvel is the only company that could get Fantastic Four right on film. Trying to make it grounded in reality just seems like a really dumb way to approach that property.
I dont mind Spidey being separate, and im glad X-men isnt in the MCU (except Jackman) but god damn would the FF rock.
And yeah I think only Marvel Studios could do them justice. I know I can't judge this new film but it sounds horrible, and the previous movies were pretty poor as well. It's gonna bomb - and ill do my bit by not watching it.

It has to be in production and result in a completed film that is actually released. They can't just say it's in production, wait until after the deadline, and then not finish and release a movie.

Once the cameras start rolling, it's over.
Not entirely true. They also have to release it. If production is incomplete by the deadline and then halted after the deadline it would also have to be resumed in a reasonable amount of time.

Just have to hope it totally bombs now. The movie sounds like it will be terrible, so hopefully people will stay away and Fox will give up the rights.
Let's just hope that something happens that stalls the production long enough for the rights to revert then.

Probably not...Fox is gonna go full speed ahead though it seems they started shooting and just cast the guy who will play Mole Man....is that normal seems kinda..rushed.

Makes me wonder if there is a non compete clause for those in current Sony/Fox Marvel films to prevent them from going to Disney/Marvel films. Hugh being Dr. Strange would be the biggest F U to Fox.

He said Wolverine 3 would be his last movie playing that role.
I wonder how many X-Men movies we'll get before that releases.

Yeah he's definitely the biggest star of the Marvel movies outside of the MCU. Wonder if he ever gets the urge to come in to the fold, so to speak.
So I don't know if this would be thread worthy discussion, so I decided to ask it here...
What's everyone's opinions on the casting direction of the Marvel movies? Do you feel anyone has been horribly casted or do you think all of the people casted for roles have been good thus far...

From great to BASED MAHVEL. At least in my case.

With a few exceptions great casting all around. The films aren't always all they could be but you have never been able to blame the cast for that.
Happy with the big 3 (cap thor iron man). I felt Terrence Howard was a way more believable Rhodey but understand why he was cut.
Hate Natalie Portman as Jane. I think Scarlett has grown into Black Widow but I would have preferred emily blunt and scarlet as ms marvel. Chris o Dowd was wasted in Thor 2 imo as well.
Overall pretty damn awesome.

I feel the casting has been pretty remarkable especially by typical hollywood standards. To me it seems as if the casting is being looked at holistically - how best to bring the character to life, integrated with how their costume is translated, the tone of their "home base" film, and so forth.
It says a lot that I like Evans and Hemsworth as Cap and Thor better than I've ever seen the characters drawn in comics. To me they now *are* those characters. RDJ and Hiddleston have practically created their own unique versions of Tony Stark and Loki.

Of all the major character castings, the one I was most unsure about was Hemsworth. I thought Hiddleston and Hopkins would act circles around him. It was a big surprise forme when he owned that role.
Portman for me is the biggest miss, but I think that has more to do with how superfluous her character feels in the movies.

The only issue I have with the main casting is that they aged down Cap and Thor so much for the movies compared to how they are recognized in the comics today.
That's a minor nitpick and not a problem I have with the actors they've casted themselves. I think Evans is a perfect "young" Cap and Hemsworth really looks the part as Thor, but hasn't really been given the best material to work with in his movies. Hiddleston's Loki outshines him.

This is from Latino Review, so take with a grain of salt, but this makes Avi Arad look more like an asshat.

If he is responsible for the deals w/Fox and Sony renewing themselves each time a movie is made, HE. MUST. PAY.
He talks about these characters like he created them, which is hilarious. Dude is an executive. He doesn't give a shit about the characters or the stories. He wants Spider-Man at the center of a hypothetical crossover because Spider-Man is the only thing he has his hands on that makes any real money.

Looks like ABC picked up Agent Carter!

Has there been any news on when the Netflix shows will start airing? Are all of them going to be filmed and released at the same time?

They start airing in 2015. Since Daredevil starts shooting in July I honestly expect it to be a very early 2015 show. Like, maybe even January. Jessica Jones will be later in the year. It is uncertain if Iron Fist and Luke Cage will also be 2015 or if one or both will be 2016.
Have they announced the showrunners for Iron Fist or Luke Cage?
