Marvel Sequels.

Well, as for FF... a sequel was a given.. The movie made decent coin. But hopefully they listened to fan opinion and added a bit more substance to the script. I mean, to have Doom wuss out so easily at the end was a bit sad. This time they've gotten the origin out of the way so they can let loose and have a little more fun with it.

Hulk sounds cool, but that series needs a LOT of work. If they can pull it off, I'd like to see it. Just make us forget the first one....please. :monkey2

[hairlesswookiee]

i actually like Hulk... i agree the directing was not very good for a comic movie. they just chose the wrong kind of style for the movie. but come on, who didnt like the part when Hulk was ripping the tanks apart and beting the other ones with it?? i think given the right director the second Hulk will be fantastic!!!

[King Darkness]

I think they need to dump money into the development of the script and worry about cast and CGI after....CGI is so comon place now, they need a great story be build around not great CGI and a **** script...but thats just how I feel.

Sounds to me like the Silver Surfer will appear as a lead in to Galactus appearing in FF4. Kind of like the forshadowing of dark phoenix at the end of X-Men 2.

Marvel is on a roll right now.
The better keep releasing these while they are in demand.

ANy news on Iron Man yet??

ANy news on Iron Man yet??

nothing right now. last time i heard about iron man it was about Tom Cruise going to the position.

I agree they need to worry about the CGI after they get everything else working. my brother is in school for computer animation and he agrees that too many movies are relying purely on the animation to make it good. CGI is a good tool not a crutch.

The latest I've read on Iron Man is NO Tom Cruise. They are looking at an unknown. It will be Marvel's first in-house financed film which means no hacking it up by the suits. There will be a an appearance of the original tin-man suit for the origin. That's all I remember though except it's slated for 2008.

Greetings!
I personally liked the Hulk film...Not the typical Super Hero fare, more "story", which really fits the comic book version of Hulk.
Now, if they could somehow save the FF franchise and do a film that we all know would kick ass, co starring Galactus & Silver Surfer, there may be hope for the world yet! Some of the best moments in comics have been in the pages of FF, IMHO, and it sucks to not have the rest of the world share that. They see only what has been presented so far...And it has been a far cry from what is possible with these characters.
I am a huge FF fan, and hate to see my heroes treated so badly. God knows we have suffered enough with lame attempts to translate the FF to screen, be it animated or live action. Yes, I fell asleep watching the latest "attemp" :(

Best,

Interesting...

[Darklord Dave]

Interesting news today that Avi Arad is no longer running Marvel but will be a producer on the announced films. I'm wondering if he was forced out or if this was by choice. I guess if he wants to concentrate on making the movies and not be bothered with the day to day stuff of company matters, it's good for him.

[carbo-fation]

Well, if Avi is going to take part in the production of these movies, then I'll definetely look forward to watching them. Hopefully, he'll keep most of characters and story line according to the comic books, unlike in X3.

[DarkArtist81]

I know that Iron Man has a director now... Jon Favreau. Not exactly a comic movie icon, but a very competent director. He loves the material and actually has a Myspace where he shares his thoughts on the project (among others) and tests the waters with his plans on the film.

I really think he will do fine.. though I know that they are shopping for someone to play Ol' Shell Head. I'm thinking unknown... :D

well neither did the first two. im sick of people complaining about how X3 didnt follow the storylines of the books when the first two didnt either.

~~im actually happy that tom cruise is not going to be iron man, less money towards the big name actors and more towards the production and writing.

Yeah, me too HW.... I mean, none of them really followed the books.. I mean.. Wolverine and Sabertooth connection? None. Nightcrawler and Mystique? Nope. Rogue? different. Iceman? Different. yadayadayada... it goes on and on.

I loved the movies, and with each one I think it just got better and better. The last one was great and my favorite so far. I was seriously thinking that Ratner would blow it, and I'll admit you can tell it was a rushed production... but it still ROCKED!

And as far as Iron Man is concerned....no big actor = goodness in my book. I'm very excited to see where it goes. :D

[TOE]

I still think Pierce Brosnan should play Iron Man. :cool:

I am aware the first two didn't follow the comic book directly either. But they did have a lot more in common than the last one. It especially made me mad that after a almost 3 year break, the trilogy ended in such a way; I am not going to go into detail just because I have stated my reasons many times already. And I am happy as well that Cruise wasn't selected as Iron Man. Nothing against him, but a no name would be better because he would bring a fresh new face to the set and as you said, less expensive.

[Booyah!]

In Wizard it talks about how the Hulk sequel is seperate from the marvel/paramount deal, and that Iron man, Cap and Thor are all being developed in house.

Which leads me to this about the Avengers: "Arad said he finally plans to give the people what they want, as the company's self-production deal will allow Marvel to use a group of characters all in one film. 'Well, it's the Earth's Mightiest Heroes getting together. Obviously, it's a huge opportunity having many of these characters under one roof now. It's a unique opportunity to go out and make a great, bigger-than-life Avengers movie.' "

:drool

Are talking about Avengers in real-life action film? :cool: Now that will be cool. I just hope that it is not a rush production. Better off being a two part series.

Oh yeah brutha, real life. It's possible that the Iron Man, Captain America and Thor movies will be done first, for the origin storys of those characters. And then combine them for the Avengers film. Hawkeye, Antman and Black Panther were also mentioned.

God, I hope they don't ^^^^^* it up.


I thought the Ultimate Avengers DVD was pretty good, and am looking foward to the sequel (August, I think). Much better than the 90's cartoon.

Heck yeah!!! :rock about the damn time!!! I really hope they don't ^^^^^* it up. Alot of characters, alot of back story, alot of action....:drool

[carbo-fation]

An avenger movie??? That would be the mother of all comic book movies. I honestly hope they can pull it up. :chew
