Fuck Ant-Man...we're getting Ant-Man and Wasp.

Three untitled projects? Could one of those be the long awaited Black Widow solo movie?

I was gonna say there's no way they'd give a solo movie to a female character, but since Captain Marvel's getting one I sure hope so.

They could make it about her time as an assasin. Superhero-free.

I've got three words for you:

HOWARD THE DUCK!

1. Those are stupid words.
2. Huh?

Damn it, at this rate by the time Captain Marvel comes out I'm gonna be an old man...

Howard the Duck, imo, is something that could find a home on adult swim in animated form similar to Duckman.

This would actually be perfect. The only issue is that Marvel is now under the Disney umbrella so I don't think there's much chance of them allowing one of their shows on a Cartoon Network owned animation block. I also don't think Disney would be cool with being associated with something on that level either. It's a shame too cause under the right writing staff and animators it could be something great like Rick and Morty, etc.

YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!11!1!!!!!one!!!!!

In what may turn out to be the most predictable news of 2015, Den of Geek is reporting that the critical and box-office clobbering Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four movie took has spelled doom for the franchise at 20th Century Fox, and now the thing that has caused such a firestorm of controversy for them is finally going back where it belongs: Marvel Studios.

According to the site’s info, which has yet to be corroborated by official sources, rather than trying to integrate the much-loathed FF roster into their more successful X-Men universe, Fox is doubling down on the mutant biz by trading the Fantastic Four rights to the tarnished property (which also reportedly includes rights to key FF side characters like Silver Surfer, Doctor Doom and Galactus) to their Disney-owned rival in exchange for television rights to X-Men. This coincides with the recent announcements of pilots ordered for “Hellfire” and “Legion” at FOX, as well as the three mystery films Marvel just slated for release in 2020, one of which might very well be a Fantastic Four reboot.

While Marvel’s first family coming back into the fold sounds like a great idea, Marvel Studios mastermind Kevin Feige and company have an uphill battle in terms of public perception of the property. If one counts the legendarily terrible unreleased Roger Corman production from 1994, this would mark the FOURTH big screen iteration of the characters, who also appeared in two critically-derided but financially-successful Fox movies in the mid-2000s directed by Tim Story. The 2015 film suffered from a decidedly dour tone, budget restrictions, creative meddling and studio-imposed (and highly-noticeable) reshoots that brought forth a film even its director publicly distanced himself from. It wound up only grossing $166 million worldwide, making it one of the biggest superhero bombs of all-time.

Like Spider-Man, who Marvel recently partnered with Sony to reintegrate into their cinematic universe, Feige already has contingency plans set up in case the Fantastic Four team is brought back to the MCU. Side characters like Galactus, Doctor Doom, The Silver Surfer and The Watcher played critical roles in the original “Infinity Gauntlet” comics stories of the ’90s and could very well be brought onto the board just in time for the two-part Avengers: Infinity War films that the Russo Brothers will direct.

As for now, with no official word from either Marvel or Fox, this may simply be overenthusiastic fan speculation, but food for thought for all the true believers out there.

I never cared for FF, but I'm glad Marvel gets them because of the villains.

Would be cool to have Galactus pop up in a Guardians of the Galaxy movie.... (if not in a FF movie)

Or, I guess they can use Skrulls now too. Would be cool to see those guys in something....

That is, of course, if these rumours about them getting the FF rights back are even true.

Supposedly they're trading the rights to FF for rights to film TV shows in the X-Men universe (parkmania's post might be mentioning that, I just don't feel like reading).

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansit...news/?a=125932

Fox is denying it.

Uh, yeah. Apparently so is Marvel.

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansit...news/?a=125949

Well, whatever, I can live without the FF. Too bad for Doctor Doom and Galactus, though.

FF is such a bizarre creature I don't know anybody who is into them.

I knew one dude who was really into them.... but the dude's name was literally Reed Richards, so that might have had something to do with it....

Geek parents.

Pretty cool if this is all legit. I'm happy to see the Fantastic Four in the MCU (although, we don't really need another origin movie), but Galactus or the Skrulls would make a great end-villain for Phase 4. After Thanos, I was wondering who would be a big enough threat that would validate a whole phase of moves.

Aw, just read that link. Never mind.

I stand by my statement that the FF are great supporting characters, but bland as hell as leads.

I think they can be great leads.... From what I have read.... which isn't a whole lot....

Well, you'll be pleased to hear that JoBlo rumor was true: Mark Ruffalo will return as Bruce Banner and his slightly angrier alter ego in Thor: Ragnarok, which we recently found out would be directed by Taika Waititi (Eagle Vs Shark, What We Do In The Shadows).

Deadline just broke (well, confirmed) the news, though they don't mention any specific details or reveal how the Hulk will factor into the story - but Ruffalo and Chris Hemsworth seem like they have good chemistry, and their characters' interactions have provided some memorable moments in the Avengers movies so this should work out well.

Also starring Tom Hiddleston, Jaimie Alexander, Ray Stevenson, Anthony Hopkins, Thor: Ragnarok is currently being scripted by Christopher Yost and Craig Kyle and is scheduled to be released in theaters on November 3, 2017.

YES!

One step closer to Hulk going cosmic. One step closer to Planet Hulk.

Captain America and Thor kissing on cover of upcoming Avengers comic book....

I didn't read that.

Noone's said it's gonna be the cover, though.



Still, this is weird, even if Thor is now Jane Foster.

It's not so much FemThor and NiggaCap kissing, it's those characters. And in general I'm not a fan of 'power couples'.

Indeed.

I forgot Thor was a girl now, and that Falcon was Cap, so I saw the headline about Thor and Cap kissing and was like "uhhhhhh... What?"

By the way, the first issue of that all new all different Captain America is fucking depressing.

As in, depressing coz it's sad, or depressing coz it's shite?

Both actually.

It fucking sucks, but also Maria Hill treats him like shit, people keep telling him he's not the REAL Captain America, he has no budget, etc.

If they were going to switch the cap mantle to someone else, they should have left it with bucky. That was one of the most well written passings of the torch ever.

I have a hard time calling Sam Wilson Captain America. He's still Falcon, just throws a shield from time to time.

Dare I ask what happened to Steve Rogers?

Something about him losing his powers and becoming an old man....

Basically the Super Soldier formula went bad and aged Steve to what age he should be by this time. Only with all the same powers and durability. So......yeah.

Nope, the super soldier serum was "sucked" outta him and he's now just an old man.

Who sucked him?

Baron zemo i think

Chinese supervillain named the Iron Nail sucked his powers

I feel like I'm supposed to be shocked or interested or saddened or whatever. But it's only a matter of time before he gets it all back anyway.

Yeah, a new guy.

"Iron Nail"? Haha God that's awful.

Never mind Cap, you'll get your powers back soon anyway.

Old man Rogers is irritating.

There are now like 5 different Avengers teams, he leads one of them and Deadpool's in it.

Deadpool seems an awful tit for the avengers.

I guess you meant "fit", but this is better.

So apparently there's gonna be a new Falcon while Sam Wilson is Cap.

http://www.comicbookresources.com/im...-cov-bdec4.jpg

Dumb.

Why? I mean I understand the need for someone to replace Captain America or Wolverine, but literally no one cared about Falcon at all. Why the flying f#$k would you need to replace him?

To make him more diverse! Black wasn't enough! Now he is.... uhh.... some sort of Insect/Joker?

Maybe Native American

Sure, I love the way Marvel portrays Indians.

There's Warpath, an Indian mutant whose mutant power is being Indian - he's good at tracking and throwing a tomahawk.

Did not know about Warpath's existence... lol

Just as bad as DC's Apache Chief:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...pachechief.jpg

Warpath was the younger brother of Thunderbird and the shared a similar moveset. Super strength,speed and I think limited flight. He was more or less a more powerful less racist version of his big brother.

I am looking forward to see what they do with RedWolf... they have a chance to tackle some issues with the character if they so desire.

Wyatt Wingfoot wasn't too bad of an Indian character as characters go

I would sooner they make new exciting non white characters rather than repackage old ones but since there has been no real success when doing that i suppose Marvel and Dc will have to work with what they got.

Dc's Milestone comics weren't bad but like many of the alternate lines the big two were publishing they got real stupid real fast.

No flight. And super strength and speed is the definite lazy of superpowers.

Also, if I remember right, the very first issue featuring Warpath had him wrestle a fucking buffalo while talking to himself in a "indian herb" haze.

Warpath was cool in the black ops x force at least

Howling Commandoes used to be such a cool team. Now it's a monkey, a werewolf, some monster that looks like Abomination, Man-Thing and Dum Dum Dugan.

Oh shit, there's also a zombie Jasper Sitwell.

First shitty pic of Dr Strange.

I assume this is some kinda bullshit mystical journey, cause this looks like India.

That bullshit mystical journey is exactly his origin lol

Yep that is in fact how he got started.

Makes sense.

I totally prefer this sequence.

It really pisses me off what Marvel has done with Xavier, the Summers boys and the Greys. Started with the dismantling of the Lilandra/Xavier relationship and ended with the radicalization of Cyclops and Havok. Cyclops died a insane villain and should have gone out a hero .......

Lol Cyclops is dead?

He'll be back.

Actually the way Secret Wars is still going and they already started the All New franchise we don't even know how Cyclops died this time. New X-Men books mention him going against Inhumans and dying and that's pretty much it. No explanation whatsoever.

During Secret Wars he got his neck snapped by Doctor Doom.

Marvel books are very fucking confusing now.

Pftt.... "got his neck snapped". Gonna take more than that to kill a major Marvel character.

Didn't Magneto once get his head cut off?

Cyclops was also possessed by the Phoenix Force at the time.

It was to show how powerful Doom is in Battleworld.

Still, the new books apparently have a different story about his death. I gave up on trying to understand Marvel quite some time ago. That whole Secret Wars stuff is the shittiest thing to happen in years.

fixed

I don't know how they could possibly sink lower than Secret Wars.

What's so bad about Secret Wars? (And how many secret wars have there been?). Is it just a general confusion with so many things being changed?

I feel like you covered this a few pages back, but fuck me Marvel is so confusing now like you said. Dunno what's going on with anyone any more.

All the universes collided, so Earth 616 and 1610 (Ultimate) were no longer, only Battleworld was left. All kinds/versions of different characters were there at once and it was just all a huge clusterfuck.

It's still going actually. This week Secret Wars 8 (out of 9) came out at the same time as new titles are already going strong. Like Uncanny Avengers issue 3. And you have no idea how this all happenned because Secret Wars hasn't even ended yet. It just hurts my brain.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jXleZjUJJ28" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Sounds like they wanna try and mix the best elements of both universes into one, focusing on the ones that are most recognizable to the general public.

For example... is Nick Fury still around? The original, white-skinned cigar smoking David Hasslehoff one? Feels like I haven't heard about him in forever coz black, Ultimate, Samuel L. Jackson Fury is pretty much THE Nick Fury now.

Original Fury is The Unseen One now, a replacement for The Watcher.

Check out the Original Sin crossover, that's where it happens.

And the dumbest thing about Furys was when they wanted to introduce the black version in the original universe and they ended up giving the original Fury a black son, who's also missing an eye.

Am I the only one reading the new Dr Strange series? Read first 2 issues and it is damn good. Almost makes up for how wretched Secret Wars has been.

New Dr Strange is batshit insane. Not sure how I feel about that series.

Perfect artist for the series. i hope he sticks around.

just learned the last issue of Secret Wars core series is gonna be released in the middle of January. This is fucking ridiculous.

Honestly I just ignored Secret Wars and picked up once the new titles started rolling out. I will admit I've been a tiny bit confused a few times, but for the most part I think I'm having an easier time of it than people who actually read Secret Wars.

honestly, the marvel books have been just pissing me off the past few months. as in, it's considered 'dumb' entertainment and stuff and it's frustrating I don't understand what's going on at all, like I'm too dumb for comics ;(

I can totally see why you feel that way. Personally I haven't had too much trouble, but I also spend like countless hours watching videos and reading articles about comic book history and goings on too. I've only been reading comics for about 3 years now, but I probably have the same amount of knowledge now as the average person that'd been reading their whole life lol. I'm also the kind of person that tends to look too deeply between the lines and sometimes I read more into things than I think was actually intended. Not sure if that helps me to understand (or feel like I understand) the comics better or what.

Well, try Secret Wars and no amount of videos and articles can help you understanding what in the fuck that story is all about. It's just retarded.

Hence why I think I'm just gonna avoid it for all of eternity. After Convergence over at DC I'm pretty much never gonna trust any of the "universes colliding" crap in comics ever again.

Do you need to read any tie ins for secret wars?
