If Marvel Studios ever gets ahold of Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, etc...

[Sawyer]

NOTE: I'm not asking when will the studio get control of these franchises from Sony and Twentieth Century Fox, so dont go on and on about all those details. Please.

What I am asking is, if Marvel Studios ever gets ahold of Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Daredevil, etc. do you think that they would have to make changes to them (aka reboot) to fit them into the Marvel Film universe with Iron Man, TIH, The Avengers, etc. or leave them as is?

Personally, I think X-Men and Spider-Man can be left as is (btw, I can totally see RDJ and Tobey sharing a scene together in their respective characters), and F4 and Daredevil can/should be rebooted.

 

[SPIDERMAN117]

Well seeming when they do get ahold of the franchises RDJ will be too old. So will Tobey

Honestly Sony and Fox wont be letting go of X-men or Spider-man for awhile

I would love to see RDJ and Tobey share a scene but it'd be like a retired home of superheros

 

[Sawyer]

Honestly, I dont pay much attention to the politics of this whole studio war or whatever, but cant Marvel Studios eventually buy the properties out from under Fox/Sony/whatever?

Reboot for FF, soft reboot or complete reboot for DD, keep Spider-man going, ignore the third movies of Blade and X-men while keeping the previous films in continuity.

Bring Singer and the original cast back to make his Phoenix Saga adaption to finish his trilogy then make more films with directors and/or cast if people need to be replaced.

Make more Blade movies only use Goyer as a creative consultant or scriptwriter with a director who can reign him in when necessary with scripts. Get someone like Alex Proyas, David Fincher or Alfonso Cuaron.

What I don't understand is why cant the studios come together and finance a gigantor movie with more then one franchise. It's not like it's never happened before POTC did it to good effect why can't they do it to make the Merry Mutants meet everyones favorite neighboorhood Spider-man?

Alex Proyas on Blade would blow my mind.

Fantastic Four is a lost franchise... people need to let it go. Spinoffs and crossovers with FF characters could work... but Fox will do that themselves and they won't cross them into Marvel films. This is all a mute debate because by the time Marvel gets all these characters back the glory days of the SH movie genre will have long passed.

 

[WeaponXProject]

Fantastic Four is a lost franchise... people need to let it go.

I agree. That series could be rebooted but people really won't care to see it.

If Marvel would to get back X-Men they would have to wait awhile to restart. Like Begins did after Batman and Robin.

When they get back these characters, hopefully the movie superhero craze won't be over...

 

[The Major]

I agree. That series could be rebooted but people really won't care to see it.

I disagree. Despite the Fox movies being awful they still did incredibly well.

Good FF films would get the public interested in them IMO.

That's if Fox will part with them at all. I doubt it.

x men i think did fine i just really wish singer did x 3 instead of ratner how great would a sentinel fight have been in an x men movie

 

[Franklin Richards]

FF is as much a lost franchise as X-Men. Just because the characters don't resonate with you doesn't mean there isn't a market for them with old fans and new ones. Don't dismiss them. They made quite a bit of money if you'll remember.

If mediocre movies kill franchises, Batman would have never seen the light of day again. Spidey too. And let's not forget the Hulk.


The World's Greatest Comic Magazine will ride again. Bank on it.

 

[FaT_tONle]

As usual... some people can't let it go...

 

[JP]

Reboot X-Men. It wouldn't fit into the IM/TIH universe.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Get an avatar for pete's sake and pipe down!

 

[Sawyer]

Get an avatar for pete's sake and pipe down!

Yeah, exactly. Well, not about the avatar, as much as the other thing.

 

[Spider-Vader]

FF & DD need re-boots. I think Fox is gonna let FF go, but TDK seems to make then re-interested in DD. Maybe they won't screw it up again if they try.

Spidey fits well with the new Marvel universe. X-Men could work in it, if they re-boot it but keep it in the same timeline as X1 & X2.

 

[WarBlade]

There should never be a single "Marvel Movie Universe," so there's no need to make changes to existing franchises to make them fit together.

 

[GL1]

Spider-Man
Instead of 'rebooting' the movies, repackage a young Peter Parker and friends as a weekly hour-long Smallville-aged action drama TV show that fits organically with the Movie Marvel Universe. Ultimate Spidey themes and tone with 616 sensibilities.

X-Men
Honestly, the same as Spider-Man. Like SM, the movies are well-liked enough, but aren't so great that the storylines of the universe should be improbably to incorporate events designed to be in a stand-alone universe. Star with the original 5. If its that popular, re-spin it into a movie franchise.

Fantastic Four
I hate to admit it... but I almost want to say they're right. There's a chance, going the TV route, or rebranding it as "Fantastic" or "The 4" as a reboot that is pure scifi and explorer-like as opposed to superhero-lite... that they could forge a new audience out of it. Perhaps the best reception it can hope for is as a sci-fi centric Sci Fi Channel series.

Daredevil and Elektra
I personally don't really care, and, honestly, think it writes itself in many ways. I wouldn't really connect them intricately with the "Avengers" storyline either.

Blade
Don't really care too much here either. Going deeper into Vamp fiction as opposed to making up new, might be a good idea to bring in the goth-heads. Again, not really connected anyway.

Ghost Rider
Spare me.

 

[Rampage]

I wouldn't hate seeing a Punisher vs Daredevil movie.

If Marvel got back it's character's film rights, they should revise their policy on R rated comic book movies.

Marvel Studios should create a smaller subdivision, "MAX Studios" or "Marvel MAX" perhaps, and create a cinematic mature Marvel universe for adults or audiences aged 17 and up.

This "MAX division" should be in charge of the "darker" and more adult urban vigilante type characters (Punisher, Moon Knight, Daredevil, Foolkiller, etc.) that don't exactly fit in with their more colorful, PG-13 summer blockbuster "team up" films (Iron Man, Avengers, Cap, Spidey).

Use cameos and crossover movies to establish the cinematic MAX universe as one, just like the more mainstream "Avengers universe" they're setting up now.

Keep the MAX verse separate from the kid friendly, mainstream stuff.

That's if Fox will part with them at all. I doubt it.

I just do not think the four characters are interesting outside of the Thing. Most comic book movies have characters that audiences can relate to. I don't see that in FF. The audiences like the darker side of characters and I do not see that in them. Their powers aren't as interesting as the other Marvel characters, but that's my opinion.

 

[Obi-Ron]

The Fantastic Four needs to be brought back to Marvel, if for no other reason than to finally see Dr. Doom done properly on the big screen.

And Ben's brow too, dammit!

 

[The Major]

I just do not think the four characters are interesting outside of the Thing.

I disagree but can undersatnd why you'd like him the best.

Most comic book movies have characters that audiences can relate to. I don't see that in FF.

Why?

What don't you see relatable about them? How much have you seen of them?

The audiences like the darker side of characters and I do not see that in them.

Darkness isn't the only path a character has to take to be interesting.

Did you find The Incredibles uninteresting? They were what you'd get with a good version of FF.

Their powers aren't as interesting as the other Marvel characters, but that's my opinion.

Human Torch can turn his entire body into fire, he can create a super-nova which can destroy all life on Earth, he can fly, in the comics he's an expert at using in it various ways like defeating forest fires or cooking toast.

Mr.Fantastic's power might seem silly but it can be incredibly useful in battle or making inventions. He has limited shape-shifting abilities, he can give himself Thing level strength when he needs it, he can attack several enemies at once in complex attacks simultaneously if they far away from the others, can use his stretching in battles to throw, pummel, strike, lock, strangle and more.

Invisible Woman is basically a Green Lantern. The most powerful member of the team. In the comics she's demolished the other FF members easily in a fight. She can allow herself or the team to be unseen by enemies which is really good for going behind enemy lines or escaping prisons.

The Thing is permanently stuck as a rock monster with enough strength to give Hulk tough brawls.

 

[The Chris]

Maybe Paramount and Columbia can co-distribute an avengers sequel. Very unlikely but I'd love to see Spider-Man and Iron Man in the same movie.

 

[SuperT]

X-Men
Honestly, the same as Spider-Man. Like SM, the movies are well-liked enough, but aren't so great that the storylines of the universe should be improbably to incorporate events designed to be in a stand-alone universe. Star with the original 5. If its that popular, re-spin it into a movie franchise.

Sorry, but an X-Men movie with just the original five would be a huge flop. A team of Cyclops, Jean, Beast, Angel, and Iceman just doesn't have enough draw like the team line up we have in the first three movies.

Why are you saying sorry? That wasn't my suggestion.
