Marvel Studios: Overview Aug 10 (link here)

[Advanced Dark]

Zak Penn is writing the Avengers movie. Sickening.

Yeah Zak annouced that last year and I have a thread somewhere here about that but it's 5 years away likely from being seen if not 6 years. He also wrote X2.

Ummm c'mon, lets be real that script was all Dougherty and Harris

 

[Quicksilver]

I'm glad that there will be an Avngers movie, just not Zak writing it......

Was there anything else said at this conference?

 

[YJ1]

so Teen Avengers is the fifth DTV (page 34)!

thoughts?

I don't like the Young Avengers book but who knows?

Was there anything else said at this conference?

They really talked up the Hulk. Producer Kevin Feige said the director and Zak Penn are literally hold up in room as we speak hashing out the final details. He said, "Hulk will deliver more action in the first five minutes then anyone's seen from a sequel in a long long time."

He also talked about Captain America and said that half the movie would be a period piece while the other half would involve his transition to modern times. Ant-Man, Nick Fury and Thor were mentioned but nothing new was announced.

He said one of the questions he always gets is why the various movie characters never interact. He then went on to talk about the Avengers and why that plays to Marvel's interactive strength. If Iron Man, Cap and Thor turn out as good as they should be, imagine a film where they unite.

Marvel will release two movies a year (starting in 2008) for a five year span. This doesn't include already existing franchises developed with other studios (Spider-Man 4, FF3, Wolverine, Magneto, Luke Cage, etc.)

[Darthphere]

Yeah, im convinced. YJ1=Horrible taste.

Yeah, im convinced. YJ1=Horrible taste.

Well, at least I've got a rep.



Young Avengers is well written and the artwork is phenomenal but the series kind of lost me when they turned the vision in to a dopey kid and started to push the gay teenager angle. It's not a bad series, it's just that I've started to dislike it over time.
