I believe Fox only keep the rights if they produce a film within 'x' amount of years. The contract reverts back to Marvel if they don't and also the film has to be of high quality not just some direct to dvd trash made to keep the rights. At least that's what i've heard..

That is incorrect. Fox owns all of these properties for perpetuity. Unlike Sony they own the rights to their Marvel properties forever but they don't have to do anything with the properties unless they want to. Sony on the other hand has to have something a reasonable amount of production, basically moving towards a finished product but their theatrical release clause has a loophole. They could simply produce a low budget, straight-to-DVD feature and "four wall it," which basically means, stick it in any theater to fulfill their theatrical release clause.

All that stuff came out all over the net in October 2010 when Disney made it publically known they were looking for any tiny, microscoping opening to revert all properities from all outside license holders including both Fox and Sony. Both companies respectively put their contracts online (blurbs, obviously) to show that the Mouse's muscle didn't mean ____ to them. Disney has said if it has it's way that all companies from Universal to Sony to Fox would lose all Marvel character ownership. None of the companies are trembling because Marvel signed iron clad deals before Disney came along.

I'm just pumped for "The Wolverine," and I really hope that HT does another figure for it. A DX would be so bad ass.

mini movies? That would be really cool, I'd love to see Dr. Strange not one of my favorites but would make for a pretty sweet movie.

A Strange movie would be great. They would need pitch-perfect casting for Stephen though. No one is popping to mind.

Liam Neeson?

 

[Dr.Mirakle32]

Timothy Dalton. He's an intense, under-rated actor who actually looks the part.

 

[ThorsThunder]

Yeah he probably would make a good Strange.

Anyone think HT will release pics of their Captain America figure soon like they did with Thor?

 

[Shropt]

No. I actually heard this figure was cancelled to focus on the Batman line.

 

[obi_dave_kenobi]

Really? I heard Hot Toys cancelled the Batman line to Focus on the sculpt of Chris Reeve Sup figure.

No, the Chris Reeve Sup was cancelled to focus on the Predators and Alien vs Predator lines.

Dalton is way too old now. Have you seen the guy lately?
Neeson also is too old.
Johnny Depp as Strange ftw. Especially if its an origin story and sequels are involved.

Nah, Johnnys old too.

I thought they had cancelled Alien vs Predator to finish the Watchmen line?
