Kevin Feige (Marvel) says our box office $ will be rewarded w/more Spidey Sequels!

[Advanced Dark]

Kind of obvious with the success Spiderman has had, and with the newly signed Hasbro/Marvel contract...still it's nice to hear. Just like we will see more of the X-Men down the road. Not if...but when.

Marvel Plots Future

Heather Adler


Published: Monday, August 21, 2006


Marvel's new president of production for Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, says you can expect to see Iron Man, the Hulk and Ant-Man smashing up big screens soon.

"[We have] three directors working on upcoming movies that we're doing ourselves as an independent slate," Feige told MTV.
“Iron Man is coming to the screen, the Hulk is coming back to the screen, and we're having a fun time with a movie called Ant-Man."

Feige also promised fans of the hugely successful Spider-Man franchise will be rewarded for their box-office dollars with more sequels.

"There will be many more Spider-Man films to come," he revealed. "We already have stacks of ideas for the next one because of the wealth of stories in the comics. We could be making Spider-Man movies for the next 20 years, based on the 50 years of Spider-Man history we have."

The young exec also told MTV he’s thrilled to be taking over for veteran comic book movie legend Avi Arad (Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Elektra) because, well, he’s a huge nerd.

"I'm the biggest geek around," Feige explained. "When I was a kid, I was like, 'Where's my Spider-Man movie? Where's my X-Men movie? Where's my Hulk movie?' Selfishly, I have to say thank goodness they waited so I could be the one to help shepherd them to the screen."

[Goran]

Now that's what I call good news :):up:

[Ebil Gig]

Spider-Man for the next 20 years!?Yay!:D

[Advanced Dark]

Well we've had 50 years of monthly comics with various titles they surely can come up with 15 movies over the next 50 years. LOL There's so much source material it's crazy.

[Topdawg]

WOW!!!! This is awesome, i just hope they wont whore out the Spiderman movies.

[Advanced Dark]

Haven't done it yet. No whores allowed.

[hutch007]

good news, lets just hope they can keep some of the key players around!

[Jasmine]

Great to hear.:spidey:

[Ebil Gig]

good news, lets just hope they can keep some of the key players around!

Hopefully Raimi & crew will stick to the franchise for as long as possible but I doubt Raimi wants to spend the rest of his life making Spidey flicks.You can replace Tobey or Kirsten, but you can never replace Raimi & the crew's work.

[Spider-Girl™]

at some point in the next 10 yrs they should replace the actors or start anew just so we dont have Spider-man running around with a cane, poking at Norman.

[GhostRider5006]

This is some good news for me.

[Gigo]

Have Franco back in 30 years as vulture? :)

Great news, but I can be pretty sure if they base it on box office there won't be an Ant-Man sequel.

I can't believe there is a first one in the works. Did someone lose a bet?

[GhostRider5006]

Ha. Franco would be a good Vulture NOW.

[Fran]

WOW!!!! This is awesome, i just hope they wont whore out the Spiderman movies.

Agreed.

[GhostRider5006]

I agree also.

[Forumer]

This probably means that the clone saga is going to be introduced. Good or bad?

[Fran]

Anything is good, as long as it is logical.

[mizzaxer]

Ill be avi is mad, he said differently about future sm movies....i just hope this guy knows what he's doing....dont turn spider-man into batman and robin please lord...grrr...rubber nipples...

[muscaremy]

hey whats wrong wit hank?.....

[Yurka]

good news I guess

[BxB402]

This probably means that the clone saga is going to be introduced. Good or bad?

id rather see the mutant spiderman storyline before they have to resort to clones.

[deathshead2]

For some reason I like this guy more than arad and has really said much of anything. I like this replacement.

[DOG LIPS]

Hooray! My hopes to see Shocker and The Spot on the big screen are still alive! :woot:

[RedIsNotBlue]

It all comes down to money pretty much. As long as the box office makes them happy then they will keep cranking out the sequels.

[ShinyBlackSuit]

Why is Avi getting the boot as President of Marvel Studios? That makes no sense to me.

[Screenscribe]

this sounds like terrible news. Just because they can make movies doesn't mean they should. Look what happend with the Batman franchise before Nolan. Look at the useless celuloid that Lucas has churned out in the last few years and dared attach "STAR WARS" to it. Nearly half the movies he's been attached to have flopped, Daredevil, Hulk, Man Thing, Punisher... And half of the things he wants to put out will flop, Antman, Werewolf by night, Submariner. I fear he doesn't know what he's doing. Much like Arad, who unless he had a director that fought him every step of the way, produced flops

[Robotchicken]

Hopefully Raimi & crew will stick to the franchise for as long as possible but I doubt Raimi wants to spend the rest of his life making Spidey flicks.You can replace Tobey or Kirsten, but you can never replace Raimi & the crew's work.awwwww, i shoulda got your avatar :( i found the pic lol

[SamuraiSon6]

so when did Avi get fired and why?!

[Robotchicken]

so when did Avi get fired and why?! aww they fired him? that sucks...guess i diddnt read the whole thing :p

[Mal'Akai]

so when did Avi get fired and why?!
He didn't get fired, he quit.

[SamuraiSon6]

okay, thanks for the update mal'akai, so let me rephrase this then....

when did avi quit and why?

[Spidey-Jason]

"There will be many more Spider-Man films to come," he revealed. "We already have stacks of ideas for the next one because of the wealth of stories in the comics. We could be making Spider-Man movies for the next 20 years, based on the 50 years of Spider-Man history we have."

One of the best thing I've read in a long time:up:

[eXperiment]

yes!!!!!!!!!!

[Mal'Akai]

okay, thanks for the update mal'akai, so let me rephrase this then....

when did avi quit and why?
I believe it was a few months ago. He made the announcement about 4 villians when he announced he was leaving.

[DACrowe]

It depends on how much they spend and how much they cost. Personally I don't see this franchise going past 5 and also personally I'm not sure I want it to go past 3 if we lose our key stars (never a good hting for a franchise) and especially the creative force that would no doubt follow.

[RedIsNotBlue]

I think at this time in film studios especially Sony understand a lot more what needs to be done to make these movies work. If Bond can do it...Spidey EASILY can.

[Tron5000]

I doubt we're in danger of this franchised becoming Schumacherized. Marvel sounds like they've learned from past mistakes (Hulk, Elektra, etc...) and they're exercising much more control over how their films will be made. I think even if Raimi leaves, they will be able to continue the franchise without damaging it.

[MARVELous M]

More sequels would be fine. However, they have to be very careful in doing so.
It is unfortanute that these movie companies only look at sequels as a way to make more money at the box office. They rush through the sequels and dont do them right. It is too bad they dont really care about what the fans would want in a sequel. They just throw together a sequel with no real effort. IMO, if the spider-man franchise got more movies made, I think it would be in good hands though.:up:

[Advanced Dark]

Why is Avi getting the boot as President of Marvel Studios? That makes no sense to me.

Avi resigned to focus on Avi Arad Productions and will produce all Spiderman sequels, Iron Man, The Hulk, for certain and can choose others if he wishes. However this removes conflicts of interest if he wishes to produce non-marvel projects, and also allows him to sell Marvel shares and not be an insider or gives him an excuse to do so which makes more sense.

Regarding Spiderman there's loads of stories to tell. Hell they can create an entire film around a short storyline featured in a few issues...and there are hundreds and hundreds of issues to choose from before getting to the cheese. Kraven, Moleman, Electro, Lizard, Man-Wolf, Carnage, Punisher,Kingpin, Bullseye could pop up, Black Cat, and a load more I'm sure you guys can think of.

Regarding the cast and director. Sony's not going to give this franchise to some turd director. The Spiderman franchise has literally saved this companies yearly earnings twice already. I think bringing in a fresh new face for Peter Parker would be great. Tobey's looking kind of old anyway. Raimi is awesome but what would Spiderman be like with someone else? Raimi isn't the only director who can make an awesome spiderman movie...he's just the only one we've wintessed. Maybe Cameron will come back and make a digital 3d Spiderman like his Avatar film...who knows? Sony could find the next up and commer like Raimi and give us a totally different spin on Spidey with a unique style..just like artists brought their own style to the books.

[SamuraiSon6]

im all for more movies as long as there not ACTION movies and truly are of the same quality level we have received so far. i still dont know what to think about a new cast though (even if there is a good script). even if there good replacements, we've all fallen in love with the cast we know now...

[Advanced Dark]

^ That kid in Sky High would be a decent Parker.\\

http://www.celluloid-dreams.de/content/images/kritiken-filmbilder/sky-high/sky-high-3.jpg

[chaseter]

Bye bye Avi Arad...that is good news. I wish he were gone before X3 started. Anywho...since this guy is a big comic nerd...maybe he can keep the films tride and true as they can be!!! Great news we will be getting more Spider-Man films.

[deathshead2]

Funny how Arad left all this to do a live action brats movie. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

[SuperBatman]

Wow lets hope they don't over do it. However as long as they get the Lizard in one of the movies I will be a happy camper

[Kal-El 8]

I'm not too sure about this idea, I don't want another spidey movie unless Raimi & his crew along with Tobey Maguire, Kristen Dunst & the rest of the remaining cast continue .

I really don't want to see The spidey franchise go thought the same crap like The BATMAN franchise did before BATMAN BEGINS or The SUPERMAN franchise did before SUPERMAN RETURNS, because the studio's didn't know when to quit and all they cared about was making money .

[chaseter]

I say SM4 is Electro, and Lizard at the end. Doctor Connors is studying remains of the symbiote that Spider-Man defeated in the evil Venom. It has regenerative abilities and Connors slowly begins transforming into the Lizard. Max Dillon, an electrician that worked at the plant alongside Ben Parker was on a routine inspection of the company's transformers. He is up on the line and a storm rolls in and blasts the line...zapping Dillon onto the transformers where he receives massive amounts of electricity. Dillon doesn't know what to do and misses a lot of work as the lights and electricity around him continues to go on and off. He is angered and kills his boss unknowingly. He turns to crime and fights Spidey. The Lizard takes over Connors at the middle and he has two villians to worry about. The remaining symbiote escapes and finds Brock in his jail cell for the cliffhanger.

Haha. And written after complaining about Arad. Ironic a little.

[chaseter]

Meh...I was bored...Arad angered me with what he did with X3 or what he didn't do with it. Maybe this new guy can change things up a little. I am just excited to hear that we will get more Spider-Man movies!!! So I want all the classic villians to see a shot at the big screen. How is what I wrote ironic???

[RedIsNotBlue]

If anyone is to blame for X3 it is Fox. And it is ironic because you complained about Arad and went on to write a terribly ****ty synopsis.

[Spider-ManHero12]

i love the fact that thre will be more spiderman movies its ganna be awesome.

[Raiden]

I'm not too sure about this idea, I don't want another spidey movie unless Raimi & his crew along with Tobey Maguire, Kristen Dunst & the rest of the remaining cast continue .

I really don't want to see The spidey franchise go thought the same crap like The BATMAN franchise did before BATMAN BEGINS or The SUPERMAN franchise did before SUPERMAN RETURNS, because the studio's didn't know when to quit and all they cared about was making money .

I don't think Raimi is the only director that can make a good Spider-man movie. Raimi has done a terrific job with Spidey thus far, and looks to deliver part 3 with the same excellence he did with the previous 2 films. However, just because he is successful with Spidey doesn't mean he's the only one who can.

Burton once thought to be the only director who can do Batman justice (after fiascos of Batman 3 & 4), but Nolan has proven himself to be better making Batman than Burton did. I'm sure another director (if cast right) can become Spider-man's Chris Nolan.

[Retroman]

Great news:up: I wish they were as enthusiastic to make more X-Men movies.

[chaseter]

If anyone is to blame for X3 it is Fox. And it is ironic because you complained about Arad and went on to write a terribly ****ty synopsis.
A snynopsis of a 2 hour plus film is not 6 sentences. I merely wrote who I wish would appear in the 3rd film. I am not a writer and neither are you. Arad had the power to alter Fox...he didn't. He was a little cash whore sitting there wanting to make money just like Fox did. If he wanted to see his companies beloved characters be done just in a movie...he would have done so. I believe him leaving has something to do with the huge backlash X3 caused. And since when is wishing Arad had been gone prior to X3 is compalining??? and what does that have to do with a quick fan summary...are you Arad's nephew or something.

[Robotchicken]

Your a horrid writer. And Arad can't really tell Fox to do ****. They have the rights. I don't feel like getting in another pointless argument with an idiot so lets jsut drop it shall we.

[Spider-ManHero12]

i hope tobeys back though im glad they are making spiderman movies for the next 20 years its ganna be awesome.

[GoldGoblin]

Spider-Man for the next 20 years!?Yay!:D

^You know they could have Max Dillion as an electrician,but we first should see him at his house getting ready for work,showing all the overdue bills he has,an ex-wife and her new boyfriend who stops by,and is chewing him out for more money or something while the new boyfriend is pushing him around and breaking his things.Just show how crumby his life is,and how he is tired of it.

Then you can have him working on the transformers that are in the sewers,and when spidey and the Lizard have a fight down there,Max Dillion could get tossed into the transformers when spidey dodges the Lizard's tail,and the tail hits Max.

And when Max Dillion wakes up from being unconscious,and finds out about his special powers,he decides to make everyone pay.His ex-wife wants her electric bill paid,he will give her all the juice she wants.

[daveswb]

Hopefully this news will finally put an end to all the people saying that 3 is the last movie. I'm so tired of hearing that.

[CrashNburn]

It Wouldnt Make Any Sense To Stop Making Spidey Movies After All The Success. They Would Have To Be Crazy.

[Red X]

They should end it at 3 and be done with it.

yea that sounds really good nice little plot you put together I think that sounds like a great way to show why he becomes bad.

And yea this is definitley good news....

[Advanced Dark]

They should end it at 3 and be done with it.

Yeah that makes total sense. 50 years of spiderman history and we've seen Green Goblin, Doc Ock, and now the symbiote/Venom, & Sandman...yeah that's wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much. There's no way 50 years of comics with multiple ongoing series could stir up enough source material for more than 3 films. How stupid are people. :rolleyes:

Sony would be stupid to make a 4th because of Batman and Robin. Every 3rd sequel will be like that. There's no way around it.

[Red X]

Why?

Well its not possible for the movies remain good if they continue.

[ultimatefan]

Of course the studio wants more movies, it´s their license to print money every couple years, but will Raimi stay? Will Tobey stay? As the many superhero movies made in the last few years have demonstrated, Raimi´s vision and craft on the Spidey movies won´t be easy to replace.

[Danalys]

i'd rather they left really. i imagine that every 6-9 years thay'd replace every one with a new bunch starting with the same contractual obligations as when spidey one was being made. get decent talent again and keep them for 6-9 years. making 3 films.

it might take a few years to find the right talent again in the first place. waiting for the next person who can play parker well is hard enough and getting that in synch with the right people for other roles is difficult aswell. but with the huge amount of actors around it's doable.

anyway in that senario you get the turn over of bond films in actors. and the continity of trilogies.once it's been successfully done once, people will be fine with it. could even get Gore Verbinski in as director if he's done with Pirates. he's certainly experienced with action, drama and adventure, in practical and CG effects. let him read the comics and find his cast from there. then all that's needed is a good script. some benind the scenes people can be kept for some continuety of style. but i want my spectacular spider-man trilogy rather than my amazing spider-man trilogy. if you get what i mean. each comic has been handled differently over the years and decades. and i think the movies should reflect that. by taking cues from a particular series.

[Cinemaman]

Well, if Raimi, cast and crew comes back, then I am fine :) :up:

But if they don't, then we can expect new Batman Forever and Batman&Robin movies :( :down

[Fran]

I'm really worried about the future of SM movies after 3...

I hope this one dosent end up like Batman and robin
That stands for

How is this news ? It has always been like this

[GhostRider5006]

Been like what?

[jimmylace]

yeah me too....the question isnt "how many more villains are there?" it's can "we make a movie that is better than the previous one?"
Plus think how repetitive it will get if they keep milking it?

[Fran]

Exactly.

:up:

[Visionary]

The movies will be fine with or without Raimi/Maguire, damn you idiots think that every movie is going to end up like Batman and Robin. No one cared about that *****ty franchise for good reasons. Various directors directed Harry Potter films and they're doing f---ing great. If you wanna worry about a franchise, look no further than Superman in Bryan Singer hands.:dry:

[GhostRider5006]

Well even if there still awful. Its still spiderman.

[Fran]

Well, Batman and Robin was still BATMAN, but it was awful.

[Visionary]

Well, Batman and Robin was still BATMAN, but it was awful.

...Probably because the script, casting and director's vision was awful. Do you people not realize this?

[Advanced Dark]

Some of you guys are crazy? You act as if more than 3 films is too many to derrive from 50 years of history and hundreds of stories. Give me a break. Sony hasn't let us down yet. They hired the right people, spent the necessary money, and will continue to do so...

Until proven otherwise there's no need to doubt them. Raimi isn't a God and he's not the only one who can direct this franchise, and Tobey honestly is getting too old.

[Cinemaman]

^^^

Believe me, everything repeats itself.

If Raimi leaves this franchise, then SOny will as another guy to direct other Spidey movies and he will just turn them into crap.

Fans thought Scumacher would be good director for Batman, he wasn't.

Fans thought Ratner would be good director for X3, he wasn't.

And now the same can happen with Spidey.

Fans didn't think anything about ShoeSmackAss, until they saw the film. Like I said, it was Warner Bros./Director's vision, the horrible script and casting that caused that film to suck.
Fans thought Ratner would be good director for X3, he wasn't.
And yet more people went to see X3 multiple times, than they did Superman Returns, X1 and X2, what does it say about these films? You people must love going to see movies you claim to hate.
And now the same can happen with Spidey.

batman and film fans who were smart at the time wanted burton to do a third film. you can find the script for the film he might have made online. but the execs at warner brothers were consernd with parents who's children were freaked out by batman returns, or at least they thought they should be. they couldn't handle it. so they brought in someone to make a less dark, less bizzare and less slightly grotesque version. batman forever is what you got. the success of batman forever lead to them going even further in the camp, neon eyesaw direction. boring and unentertaining was the result.

ratner did very well considering the time constraints. they had a whole bunch of characters with little development. but it was a war movie to some extent. that requires unnamed soldiers to die. then there's deaths of main characters. really they had pluses and minuses. but in the world of the x-men dead might not mean dead. or they can go the parrelel universe route and tell a different story with characters that died in the other universe. you just go back to an earlier point in time and start again with new stories. all that matters is that people want more x-men and if box-office is anything to go by, they do. imagine if the next x-men trilogy was all told in the Age of Apocalypse. it would push the boundaries of both comic films, and movie series in general.

Look I think there are great stories to tell (the Lizard at the top of the list) and some aspects that we missed that could've been great (Death of Gwen Stacy, Black Cat, etc.) however I find that trying to make more movies for the sake of money....mightn ot end well.

I know that this a money driven franchise and it is all about the bottom line but they got talent that took their time in crafting something special most importantly being Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire. They're going to do no more than 4 (most likely 3) which is unfortunate. Why continue from there then? Because it makes money. And yes while the source material IS VERY RICH, it will be hard to find new great talent. I hate to say it but the Harry Potter movies are flukes. For some reason Potter is more respected than all comic book characters and can draw that kind of talent like the makers of Y Tu Mama Bien. While we can have up and coming talent or indie talent that has not been tapped yet (a la Sam Raimi) it is unlikely in the need to push these out to make the bottom line that studios will go that way.

Brett Ratner was chosen and made a ****ty film. Sony respects its franchise more than Fox but at the same time you have to understand that they will make these movies for money and are less cautious about who they hire as the source material is not so finely defined as say Harry Potter. And the last thing we need is this to become the Bond franchise, looking back you can see over half of the Bond movies were crap. While there is some gems in them, overall the franchise has become in many ways a self-parody which is why Sony/MGM is having such a tough time trying to sell this gritty reboot with CR.

I know the material is there to make a long and great franchise but I know as the numbers of sequels continue to add up that they will undoubtedly start going with lesser talent who don't mind stepping on someone else's creation to churn these things out as quickly as possible.

Goodbye, I think not.

Goodbye again. So you have multiple ID's to troll with. It's good to see you have something worthwhile to do in life. Also this to me does NOT belong in the Spiderman sequels thread but it should be in the Spiderman 3 thread. Why? Because Feige is saying if we support Spiderman 3 with our box office dollars we'll get more sequels. That's the point.

"There will be many more Spider-Man films to come," he revealed. "We already have stacks of ideas for the next one because of the wealth of stories in the comics. We could be making Spider-Man movies for the next 20 years, based on the 50 years of Spider-Man history we have."

He says there WILL be sequels, which is what it's about. I think he meant box office money as in the series is doing so well, not "Get out there and see part 3 50 times and you'll get more Spidey! If not, TOO BAD!" he's saying there WILL be sequels. Hence, sequels forum. ;)

And the last thing we need is this to become the Bond franchise, looking back you can see over half of the Bond movies were crap. While there is some gems in them, overall the franchise has become in many ways a self-parody which is why Sony/MGM is having such a tough time trying to sell this gritty reboot with CR.

i only talk about bond in regards to the ability for an audiance to accept new actors playing parts in an on going series of films.

Goodbye, I think not.

I think so!

This is GREAT news!

It's funny because every so often you'll see a fan say "no, they shouldnt make any more sequels after the third movie..."

I never understood that.

James Bond didnt stop at three...

Star Trek didnt stop at three...

Heck, even Star Wars eventually continued...

In MY opinion, Spider-Man is just as good (and obviously as financially lucrative) as ANY of those franchises, if not more so.

I say keep cranking them out.

give em a chance. it's pretty lame to assume that because this has been such a huge financial success, allowing them to produce more films, that the films quality will suffer. i don't think that they would put one of the most successfull movie franchises of all time in jeoporady just to make a quick buck. because of movies like batman and robin, i think that they realize that they have to be careful.

That means it's up to us.:spidey:

I think this thread belongs in Spoilers forum also.

I rely on the news being discussed in Spoilers as some of the more minor news doesn't make the SHH frontpage. If you don't get to the internet everyday, the only way to determine biggish news is from a biggish new thread in the Spoilers forum.

However since this item did make the frontpage my point is somewhat moot.

I do think it is being a bit too literal/autistic (delete as appropriate), though, using Feige's comments about future sequels as justification for moving it here, when in fact he is talking about the impact of SM3 on future sequels.
