What's next for Marvel Studios? (Post Avengers)

Iron Fist would be nice to see. When Marvel re-launched the series a few years back, I really enjoyed it.

Me too, the minute SSC does a Comiquette, it's ordered.

I thought the director's cut version of Daredevil was pretty good. I didn't think it was nearly as bad as some people say. I felt like Elektra was a stinker. I felt Jennifer Garner was miscast. I was hoping that Elektra would have caused Fox to lose interest in Daredevil so Marvel Studios could get it back.

I Love Daredevil. and Im not afraid to say it, I have the Director's cut,
I do agree the movie has its faults, the playground Scene makes me cringe, specially the kids in it...
Elektra looked hot, but her training scene makes me cringe as well, but Bullseye was funny as hell and Kingpin was great too, I specially loved Daredevil's leather outfit, because, if you were going to fight crime and jump from buildings, you wouldn't use tights, that's the one thing I really liked, as well as the soundtrack, Daredevil might be hated, but I liked it when it came out, a movie with a lot of faults, but I liked it,

I'd go for a marvel "The Sentry" movie.

Staring Alexander Skarsgard as Robert Reynolds/The Sentry

I'd rip the story straight from the comics were he battles with his inner demons and alter-ego The Void.
Guest appear the Fantastic Four, maybe some Avengers and a bunch of lesser villains for him to battle on the Raft at the start of the film.
I think this story would be perfect to convey on film. It's dark but very much a "Super" hero story.

The only problem would be the Sentry's costume.

Sentry would be very nice considering he was injected with the same Super Agent as Steve Rogers.

Last I heard Edgar Wright was attached. That should be comedy gold if Marvel can ever get it out. Be nice having a lighter flick in the comic movie library, too.

Are we talking about Iredeemable Ant-Man or Original Ant-Man.

Sweet Christmas! Luke Cage.
Action flick sprinkled with some comedic moments, BAM!

Little is known about the project other than the hero's name, but with Marvel doing it I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was Hank Pym so they could tie it in with an Avengers sequel. It would also set up Ultron as an antagonist, too.

 

[Oscar_the_Gungan]

I remember when the project was first announced Wright said the film would be about Scott Lang in the present finding the technology with flashbacks to a 60s era Henry Pym. This was at the first Marvel Studios panel at the 2006 SDCC where Favreau was introduced as the Iron Man director and Louis Letterier was introduced for the Incredible Hulk.

I never liked that idea because I felt like it would keep Pym and possible the Wasp from being in the Avengers, which didn't end up happening anyway. I know there have been rewrites since then and I wondered if the project had been delayed because Marvel's plans and Wright's vision hadn't come to a place that meshed yet.

I read that too, but then you have articles like this where Simon's seen buying Avengers comics.

Either way, what we do know is that it won't be happening this year since he's shooting Star Trek 2, but I think everybody involved would be kinda dumb not to see the potential for tie-ins with Avengers. A big bumbling Simon Pegg as Pym could easily inject humor into an Avengers script almost effortlessly.

Are we talking about Iredeemable Ant-Man or Original Ant-Man.

Pym and Lang, not O' Grady. The last time Wright discussed it, apparently his film was supposed to be a passing of the guard moving both the original Ant-Man out but still introducing him for roles in the other films and then introducing the newer for his solo projects.

The "Shaun of the Dead" and "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" director has been talking about taking on Marvel's smallest superhero since at least 2007, promising a live-action film that would blend humor with action and would include two different Ant-Men: Henry Pym and Scott Lang.

In the Marvel Comics source material, both characters make use of a special formula and suit that allows them to shrink, as well as a high-tech helmet that facilitates communication with ants and other insects. "Ant-Man" is said to feature flashbacks of the original hero, Pym, as well as scenes of his successor, Lang, in the present day.

I know he turned in a third draft for approval but what changes were made from the first two hasn't been fully disclosed. Marvel Studios is less worried because Wright is working on a standalone not directly tied to The Avengers or any other Marvel hero direct so it was already decided early on not to have him in The Avengers.

I read that too, but then you have articles like this where Simon's seen buying Avengers comics.

We also had articles showing Eva Longoria buying and reading a ton of Avengers that turned out to be nothing despite people screaming she'd be The Wasp or remember Olivia Munn's rumored Scarlet Witch role that turned out to be the coveted role of "reporter"?

 

[Oscar_the_Gungan]

An Eric O'Grady Ant Man movie would be naughty. Would the world be ready for it?
On an another note, I'd be real disappointed if they didn't get the Wasp in an Avengers. In the comics, up until Secret Invasion, she was such an important part of the team.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Punisher Max with an aged Frank would be great, they could have Jackson's Nick Fury sending him on a black ops mission like in "Mother Russa" i think it was called.

Would be cool if they had Fury and Castle as Vietnam Vets who served together.

...

But do you think Marvel will setup another series of films and characters that lead into a team film?

This was one of my favorite parts ofthe Max series. That would definitely work IMO. Especially if they get Ray Stevenson back for Frank Castle.

Me too. I actually watch this every couple of months or so. It's definitely nor up to par with what we've been getting since 2008, but it's not complete garbage and it is entertaining.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Well since "Avengers 2: the search for more money" has been announced along with sequels for the solo films of the characters involved, it looks like no other Marvel Studios films any time soon

 

[CelticPredator]

Why? What's the issue?

So I guess you missed the thread on the pretty much confirmed new Hulk movie and the rumor regarding Guardians?

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Well Hulk is an Avenger as is every other character, so that's nothing new.

I figured once the Avengers completed the build-up that has been going on since Iron Man, they'd then build up solo films for a bunch of other characters and have that lead into a team-up. but with all the sequels being maded it doesn't look likely for new characters or team, netheir does the rumoured GoTG.

i don't see how they can squeeze in anymoe when between now and 2015 there is:

Captain america 2
Thor 2
Iron Man 3
Avengers 2
Hulk 3

I still think it's a shame they let go of Howard for Rhodes. A solid actor and I think he could've pulled off a stand-alone War Machine flick much better than Cheadle. That aside though there's still the rumors of Guardians seeing the light of day as well as the Ant Man project that's in development (hopefully with Pegg still attached).

Agreed about Howard, excellent actor BUT if they had to, imo there wouldn't be a finer actor than Cheadle to fill the gap.

I want a Hawkeye movie.
