Marvel Studios has us covered.

I would too, I just doubt they'll be getting the same caliber actors for t.v., also Hulk won't be Ruffalo but a younger version of him.

Storylines involving Mockingbird, Luke Cage, Carol Danvers and Jessica Jones could all have links to SHIELD, especially Mockingbird, and I doubt Sam Jackson, Scarlett, or Jeremy Renner are going to have much interest in being part of a televised series.

If the Alias show does really well, and the Cage character gets some interest we'd probably get a movie version of him eventually.
 
The Hulk tv show could take place before the movies or since all the characters will eventually be recast like james bond leave it that way, the hulk tv show can take place after the movies but with a different actor
 
Hulk t.v. show is completely out of continuity with movie Hulk, Banner in the films wasn't altered into the Hulk in his 20s, so this wouldn't be much of a suitable prequel.

Pretty that much has been confirmed, you can go check it out and discuss it further in the t.v. boards actually. Hulk TV
 
Some other hypesters have enlightened me on the subject as well so I'm a bit more at ease. Anyways, it's set in stone, they wouldn't conceivably blow things at this point.



Nothing is concrete yet, they were just throwing around ideas. So far as t.v. adaptations I've heard about Hulk seems for sure, Cloak and Dagger is in development for ABC Family with nothing attached, Mockingbird is an idea as is Moon Knight.

I'd heard Luke Cage mentioned more specifically as a 20-40 million dollar which is a lot of money if it is well managed. A film like the 2008 Rambo only cost about 50 million. Machete cost 10.5 million, Super cost 2 million, Taken cost 26.5 million. All are great in their own rights and show what can be done without the giant budgets.

Actually it was specifically mentioned that Luke Cage was being looked at to appear in a Jessica Jones show. It was in one of the Marvel TV projects stories from Comic Con. You may have known that from the above post that I didn't see until after posting. Just pointing it out either way though.

I'm guessing what would make most sense would be to have the t.v. Marvel universe be its own thing.
Looking forward to all these shows, heck, I'll even give Mockingbird as well as Cloak and Dagger a try.

I'd love to see a Moon Knight or Punisher series on HBO or AMC, yet with Disney owning the rights seems like everything will end up on ABC.
 
If the the Hulk TV show actually happens, I want it to be at least 80 % comic accurate as far as origin goes, I've wanted to see the gamma bomb on the big screen since I was the kid.
 
Ageed. I find it absolutely mind blowing that Ang Lee didn't have Banner becoming the Hulk as a result of a gamma bomb explosion... and yet he had a gamma bomb detonation in his movie. Say wha-?!? :doh: If you're going to have those two events in the movie, then why don't, oh, I don't know, combine them? It certainly would've been far more interesting than the yawn-inducing origin he did give him in that movie (although it fit with the general tone of the movie, as almost every frame of that movie was yawn-inducing).
 
I hope development on animated series can be ramped up, produce them for syndication and/or straight to dvd-season-collections.. produce series independent of any pending movie projects..
 
yeah ! they got us us covered in mud i'd say!
they sold their soul to disney land so they can stuff their bank account
even though we migh get better animation from now on
by example avengers earth mightiest is outstanding
and the superhero squad might be a buch of superheros living in the hoobits univers
it's a very good
i've seen acouple of them on you tube and it's very very enjoyable .
 
So basically all that has been proven to you by Disney thus far has been positive and yet you still think we'll be covered in mud?

Disney will apparently have a hands off business approach concerning the Marvel properties, and since Marvel Studios has more than proven themselves as reliable I don't see that changing.

Touchstone, Miramax and Hollywood pictures have all released R-Rated films and they are subsidiaries of Disney so heck, we might even get a proper Moon Knight or Punisher feature.

There is no reason to fear having Iron Man and Mickey Mouse team up films.

Disney had ZERO input on those shows Marvel Animation wanted a kiddies show to sell it's popular Super Hero Squad toys.
 
Alpha Flight is a definite no go as it's entirely mutants.

99% of mutants or off limits, Namor seems to get a pass.

Locations specific to mutants would probably be encompassed in the package deal, I'd assume most characters born out of Spidey comics might be packaged with him, like Solo, Thunderbolts also has a lot of ties to Spidey but the concept might not of been bought out and is flexible as all you need is a team of reformed super villains.

Avengers that haven't been singled out as mutants, like Black Knight and Wonderman wouldn't be an issue, and neither would Captain Britain as he didn't start off in an X title, isn't a mutant and can function perfectly well removed from that sphere.

Hehe, again you guys are focusing on what we don't have, what we might not have, instead of taking time to appreciate what we probably do have!

But I enjoy it and since it's a thread I started I'll try to be as helpful as I can.


I would love to see an Alpha Flight movie.

Guardian, Sasquatch, Snowbird, Shaman, Puck & Marrina should be okay to use.

Only Northstar and Aurora are mutants.

Sounds good to me, I just wasn't sure they were free from being locked down as part of Wolverine's origin.


That is great news, I can't phantom them being able to afford the scale of this movie, they must mean animated.
For a feature film you'd have to introduce each character, let us know their world, establish the threat and neutralize it.
A lot of the characters involved in the cosmic storylines are tied up in the Fantastic Four or X-Men properties so far as feature films are concerned.

I wonder who will voice a CGI Rocket Raccoon.

sweet, hopefully the recent team, though i dont mind either way.
 
I hope it's the modern team. Using the original team certainly gains them nothing. What would be the point of having a series of movies set 1,000 years in the future of the timeline of their other movies? It's almost certain that they're going to want to make movies of their other space-based properties, like Nova and so on, so why confuse audiences by having space based movies which don't occur in the same time period? They'd be better served by having Guardians of the Galaxy, Nova, and anything else all taking place in the present.

More than that, the modern team is just better. Adam Warlock, Gamorra, Drax the Destroyer, Groot, Rocket Raccoon, Moondragon, Star Lord, etc, is a great line-up, and I'd much rather see them onscreen than the original team. Besides, they could always have Nova, Darkhawk, and others as part of the team instead of having them as solo heroes.
 
What makes you think that just because they use the most recent team that they wont set it 1000 years into the future anyway?

It's a movieverse. Anythings possible. :o
 
If Marvel pulls off a great, galaxy spanning movie of cosmic heroes I think DC/Warner's head will explode after Green Lantern.

Gotta admit. As much as I would like to see it as a fanboy, i'm not sure of this being a profitable venture at all as a live action film.
 
If they can get Doctor Strange to work, then the doors for the B-Listers (Iron Fist, etc) will burst open.

Also, I'll guess a release date: July 25th, 2014.

Especially since Spidey's sequel, if it does well, will come out on May 2nd, first Friday of May (which Iron Man, IM2, Thor, Avengers, and IM3 will have come out on), and Cap and Thor 2 will have came out on the Friday of the fourth week of July.

Sure, anything's possible. It's possible that a 747 will drop on the head of the Vice-President in the next five minutes. But while that's possible, it's also highly improbable. Likewise, the idea of their taking the modern team and randomly setting them 1,000 years in the future is highly improbable. They'd certainly gain nothing from doing so. What would be the point of having a movie universe which spans over 1,000 years, thus eliminating the possibility of interaction short of the rare case of time travel?

If they introduce the cosmic side of the universe it'll be so they can mix things up, so that elements that appear in the current movie universe can appear in the space side and vice versa. They're not about to set things up so they can never have any sort of crossover. Setting it in the present ensures that you have things like Ronan being a villain in an Avengers movie while showing up as a hero in a Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Setting them 1,000 years in the future gets them nothing.

Nevermind the convoluted mess that'll arise when they introduce space-based characters like Nova and Darkhawk who're tied to the present. Will Marvel create two space-based film lines set in different time periods? That would do nothing except hopelessly confuse audiences.

Nope, if they do make a movie of the latest version of the Guardians, it'll be set in the present, just as they exist in the present in the comics. That's the only sensible conclusion anyone can draw.
 
I can answer that with two words that actually has quite a bit to do with the classic Guardians.

Time Travel.

As far as why? Well, lets be real here. The original Guardians? Kinda lame.
