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

[[A]]

Probably putting lots of money on the table.

Or by killing Tom Rothman...

Besides just the overwhelming campiness and low quality of the FF movies, the biggest problem with the films is that they are treated as textbook superheroes who just respond when threats arise when they should be adventurers whose explorations take them to lost islands, alien worlds, other dimensions, ect.

The movies didn't do a good job why they should be celebrities, either.

IIRC their debut with the public was Thing causing property damage on a crowded bridge. The public should have been scared of them and Ben should have been arrested.

why can't fox follow in marvel's footsteps and produce superior versions of these films . if you hire the right director who has a respect and vision for the material then i think it could work . basically fox would have ot reboot every superhero movie bu ti think they could do an xmen 4 that fixes the problems of xmen 3.

I don't think we'll see a complete Marvel universe until it's re-boot time.

to do the marvel universe right they'd have to start them all at the same time.
what about the Timely comics universe lets get a Captain America: The First Invader he was an Invader first

I think the marvel universe would be represented better in live action tv shows movies try to cram to much into 2-3 hours but a whole tv show season of lets say 15-20 45 minute episodes(includes commercials) is far more than a fan could ask for to represent a story well imagine how cool a spider-man tv show not like smallville, where he fights everyone before he's superman like actually spider-man we could see the goblin in the right outfit, we could have gwen stacy, we could have spidey not be Tobey

I posted this on the 'Cast the Marvel Universe' thread (so if Marvel got the chance to reboot the X-Men, this is what i would want):

X-Men "The Beginning" (when the true original team was formed, as teenagers).

Cyclops - Chris Pine

Jean Grey - Danielle Panabaker

Beast - Justin Long

Angel - Travis Van Winkle

Iceman - Matt O'Leary

 

[Spider-Vader]

That's a good team. Though when that'd get to Wolverine, Hugh Jackman must be Wolverine. He's the best at what he does.

 

[Rich Santoro]

^ clever... he basically owns the character...

 

[Spider-Vader]

Thank you.

I think Downey is heading that way with Stark too.

 

[Rich Santoro]

^ agreed

I expect reboots, rather than remakes, being the next big thing in Hollywood. It started with Batman Begins and some can argue that Rob Zombie's Halloween and the upcoming Friday the 13th (which many will probably consider a reboot since Jason wasn't really in the first film)

Ghost Rider, Blade, and Elektra are franchises I can see Fox letting go. I don't think they really need reboots or sequels.

Fox will probably look to reboot Daredevil in the style of The Incredible Hulk, though I hope they don't make the mistake of trying to imitate The Dark Knight. I loved TDK, but to give a cast and crew the direction of "do it like that" seems like the wrong move, most of the comic movies from Fox (I believe) suffered from far too much intervention from the studio.

Fantastic Four will either get another sequel in a few years with a new writer/director or will get a reboot. X-men may get a reboot, which is so-so. The X-men films weren't horrible but they failed to truly make it about the X-men and focused it on their literal poster boy Wolverine, so a reboot could serve it well.

I think Sam Raimi can succeed and make up for the last film. I think he and the rest of the cast/crew were under lots of pressure. They weren't sure they would be getting another film so they probably felt that number 3 was their last chance to deliver everything they still wanted to tackle and the film suffered.
