The Rebooted "Keep Hope Alive" (that the rights can revert back to Marvel) Thread - - - - - Part 14

And don’t forget their gillled and wing footed friend in the hot pants!

Speaking of which, I hope Marvel feature Wyatt Wingfoot as Johnny's college friend. But of course, he probably won't be around until Johnny is that age. He ought to become an eventual love interest for She-Hulk though.

I move that the Powers That Be make a "Now celebrate fervently and speculate on how long, when, and what course they take until release date announced" thread.

Or, just a plain old "Homeward bound Victory Lap" thread.

Am I the only one who thinks an Agatha Harkness film at some point would be really cool?

I love the idea of a frail old woman who can kick serious butt.

If not her own film, I hope she at least gets to do some fun stuff in an FF film.

They didn't have Johnny's suit on display in CA: TFA. They had the original Android Human Torch's entire body (not suit) on display. The original Human Torch from the 1940s was Jim Hammond. Nothing to do with Johnny Storm or the FF.

Ah.. shucks.

EDIT: I am not really as well read on the comics as I should be. I got into these through the MCU. So excuse my lack of knowledge on these subjects.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

That wasn't Johnny's suit.
That easter egg was about the original, golden age, Human Torch.

Speaking of which, I'd still be down for a World War II era Invaders film. The same film also had Union Jack in it as one of Cap's Howling Commandos.

On the upside they each have a foot in the door already. With as many properties that Disney is getting from Fox, they can find some way to work out something with Universal.

Sony is caught in the trap of having to be associated with the MCU. The more exposure Spider-Man has within it, the more impossible it will be for them to pull him out without suffering serious blowback.

I'm confident that they will find a way to screw it up.

Certainly. What do you think would be a good trade for each of them?

Say a good trade to Comcast for distribution rights to Hulk, Namor, theme park rights in Orlando, and 30% of Hulu? To Sony for remaining Spiderman rights (i.e. movie rights)? Let's get crazy and say a good trade to Paramount for Indy 1-4 WW distribution rights and future participation, as well as Titanic domestic distribution rights? And Constantin to FF distribution in Austria and Germany? I say the latter is worth a Disney World trip, all expenses paid.

Give Universal Alien and Predator. They can add them to their Dark Universe franchise.

Great character. I was recently reading some Avengers issues where She trains Scarlet Witch - during the celestial madonna saga, I believe.

 

[Krystal]

So is this happening tomorrow as best as we can see?

Yes, before the stock exchange opens is the word.

Dark Universe franchise is dead, but Alien and Predator for what? All that Universal owns? I don't think that's a fair trade.

Get Helen Mirren to play her.

 

[Smurphftw]

Get Helen Mirren to play her.

Exactly what I was thinking. Good call.

 

[Iceman]

She would fit so well!

 

[DyfeddRex]

IMHO, Molecule Man has to rise up at some point, but portray Owen as someone with out of control powers, or some such, and you might screw it up. Have it be toned down early, let him be the Beyonder of the MCU in the end?

I’ve pulled some stunts on this board over the years, but nothing as meaningful as creating this Reboot thread the Monday after FFINO tanked opening weekend.

that has the potential to be Korg levels of scene stealing. Helen Mirren would only sweeten the deal.

Well it's after midday in the UK. No news is definitely no news.

What's the matter with the NY stock exchange? Is the door stuck or something? Have they opened?
