Some initial reviews of the Fantastic 4 are out....

After battling months of bad buzz, "Fantastic Four" emerges as a wounded animal of a superhero movie, only rarely showing flashes of the darker, more emotional breed of Marvel film it's trying to be.

Those reviews kicked the Fantastic Four around more than Doctor Doom ever has

I wouldn't be that disappointed if they never made another Marvel film again. They're all utterly forgettable.

The you're in the completely wrong thread. Many here, i am sure will agree, that the Marvel films are fantastic. Their latest, Antman, was just perfect in my opinion.

FF has nothing to do with the MCU or what Marvel are doing. The box office performance of this will not affect Marvel's plans which already extend for the next 5 years.

FF talk this way

That's fair enough if you don't like the movies. But it's the differences between the films that I enjoy, not the similarities. By their very nature, they will have a lot of similarities. They have to, as they're all appealing to the same crowd each time.

And I don't see why "reboot" seems to be such a dirty word. As they say, just because you go back to the well doesn't mean you can't draw fresh water.

If you don't like comicbook films, coming into a comicbook film thread, just to announce to all that you don't like comicbook films seems a bit ... silly. Don't like them? Don't go see them, ignore the threads: I guarantee they'll go out of fashion eventually and we can all move onto the next genre / trend Hollywood latches onto. Westerns? Disaster films? Blockbusters shot entirely in portrait ratio?

brianregan09

It's just a poor attempt at derailing the thread , As others have said you don't like them thats perfectly fine , But there are plenty that do enjoy them and the speculation , hype etc that go along with them so don't come in here pissing on our cornflakes

We don't do it to you

Sad Professor

Can we stay on topic and take the comic book films suck discussion to new thread please, thanks.

I'm trying to think up when we might reasonably expect the first civil war trailer, considering we already got a teeny bit of footage. Maybe October or so.

I'd say we might get the first trailer for Civil War around November/December...

Surely it will be with Star Wars, they're both owned by Disney .

Maybe before the new Star Wars? Both Disney films now.

Fox negotiating with Marvel to bring the X-Men to TV.

Fox Television Group Chairman and CEO Dana Walden said at the event, “We’re in negotiations with Marvel [and] we’re hopeful that we’ll be able to announce something soon. We’re not closed on a deal yet, but it’s something we’re definitely pursuing.”

That is nothing to do with Marvel Cinematic Universe

It very much could if Marvel play hardball with Fox over rights.

They may give Fox the rights to make a series but they may also insist that the term Mutant be no exclusive to Fox and can be used in the MCU as part of the deal.

There are plenty of issues and crossovers that deals could be made like those made with Sony that could involve the MCU

constitutionus

plus doesnt marvel now want to do TV shows of their characters to get the "origin" out of the way before launching their movies ala Daredevil ?

this could be a back door to get the xmen into the MCU which'd be ok by me.

I don't want them in wider universe. They are too diverse within their own sphere

cloud493

Its not out of the realm of possibility we could see a deal, rights to stuff like FF characters and villains, in exchange for X-Men tv rights?

I'd throw in Wolverine/Hugh Jackman for an appearance in next Avengers film.

Wolverine, maybe, but Hugh is only going to star in X-Men Apocalypse and won't be playing Wolverine again. So, if they are in a deal to make an X-Men TV show, it could very well be a plan to introduce a new Wolverine. Here's hoping, because X-Men without Wolverine would just not work, he needs to be in it. Even if the show was to focus on the secondary mutants of X-Men, he would still necessitate an appearance at some stage.

I'd rather Fox keep X-Men, the last few films have been really good, better than most Marvel movies really.

Bacchus

+1 to keeping the X-Men out of the MCU. It would just become a continuity nightmare if suddenly mutants came on the scene.

I'm happy to see Spiderman join the MCU and wouldn't mind seeing how the FF would work in that universe (I think they'd fit quite well and bring some good baddies with them) but keeping the X-Men in a separate universe is the best for everyone.

pixelburp

The xmen universe is all the better for not having the other Marvel heroes in it. It would almost immediately lose its voice, uniqueness and vision if it suddenly had to retcon in Captain America and co.

I thought First Class worked fine without him(cameo aside).

I want Spider-Man/Human Torch.

The FF as the celebrity superheroes in the MCU would be so easy. Apart from the task of convincing the audience that Reed Richards is kewler than any of the Avengers.

Agreed, much like the Hulk faced problems going solo, I think the FF just won't work (based on the previous movies and reports on the new one) on their own either. They need to be part of a bigger world where superheroes are common.

It'd actually be great if this tanked and as a result Fox handed the rights back to Marvel like Sony did with Spidey.
