What do you think? Is this something youd like to see?
 
God, I hope not. His writing has been subpar, at best.

I'd hope that Feige has other people in mind for both X-Men and F4 when they come into the MCU.
 
That's like asking if Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman will come back to write for the MCU after Spider-Man came back home.
 
The only way I'd ever want Simon Kinberg to write for the MCU is if Uwe Boll directs, just to see how it turns out. For science.
 
He can write their office memos for them or write up minutes of their meetings.
 
He can provide guidance on what not to do.
 
Well I'm going to be fair and mention that he has been given writing credit on 2 movies I liked a lot. Sherlock Holmes(RDJ, Guy Ritchie movie), and X-Men: Days Of Future Past. I have no idea how much credit he actually deserves for that though. All the rest of his writing credits are at best mediocre and at worst Fant4stic.

After all the lies and BS from him before, during and after the release of Fant4stic, there's no way I want him anywhere near any future Marvel movies.
 
Yes.

Kinberg will write AND direct Avengers 5. You heard it here first.
 
Right after Avi Arad gets asked for advice on Spider-Man.
 
Yes.

Well he might write Avengers 5.

When Feige asks him to write down the words "Avengers 5" on a sheet of paper. :o
 
Maybe they can give him Inhumans.

*straight face*
 
It’s time for Mr. Kinberg to move on to other areas of work

He’s overstayed his time with these characters to begin with. Time for a new voice.

To be fair part of the producer's (and really everyone's) job is to make sure their films make as much money as possible. So lies and BS are a plenty when you know the film is bad but still have to try and make it profitable. That's why when Trank trashed Fant4stic before release was such huge news and a guarantee that no major studio will hire him again. Movies are a collaborative medium and it's tough to say if he's the touch of death, a voice of reason, or completely indifferent. It's not like he has control of every aspect, just does the best he thinks he can.

That being said he's employees by Fox and unless 20th Century will co-produce the films with Marvel there's no way he'll be involved.
 
Maybe he can be invited to write James Gunn's tweets for him. :o
 
I don't think it's a good idea as they'll be doing a re-boot presumably.
If that's the case, perhaps a "Saturday Night Live" skit with him as Wolverine just to break the ice and wish everyone the best as moves onto positive collaborations.

I'd like to say no, but Kinberg has a way of falling upwards and confounding otherwise sound minds.

Kinberg is an employee of the 20th Century Fox studio, but that studio os being acquired by Disney. So Disney will become Kinberg's employer after the deal goes through, if and only if Kevin Feige decides to retain Kinberg. Fox won't be co-producing anything because it will cease to exist as an independent studio. The Fantastic Four and X-Men will be completely owned by Disney and Marvel Studios alone will be making the rebooted films. Period.
 
didn't he already write for the MCU?
TIH before Norton rewrote most of it and TA before Whedon threw all of it away were Kinberg scripts, IIRC
