Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase II Discussion


RIPPA

Hard to tell.

I mean, shouldnt the inhumans be part of the ff license?

The simple fact that the Kree and Skrulls are split between two licensees makes the whole thing impossible to predict IMO. At least the "Fox (later Disney) gets the Kingpin, but Sony can use him for cartoons" thing made some tortured sort of sense. I legitimately believe that it is pointless to speculate how most of the 'important to both licenses' things will shake out.

Right, but I thought Kingpin was explicitly ceded to Fox for the DD movie during the period when Sony and Fox were actually cooperating and Marvel didn't have a "film division" and thus reverted along with DD. It makes perfect sense to say "How much is he worth to you?" and get some $ out of an asset they have no interest in using circa 2001.  The rest of the licensing breakdown feels more arbitrary and less explicable in terms of bargaining and jockeying. Somewhere, there is a really fascinating book to be written about the politics involved in all this shit from 2000-now.

Fantastic Four list should have Galactus & Silver Surfer as well, right? Because that's an awfully small rogue's gallery to run with - I know Doom is their best villain, but they can't fight him all the time.

 

Who's got Skrulls, Brood and Shi'Ar? We know Kree and Chitauri are with Marvel, the rest are up in the air.

Eh, as a longtime Marvel reader the Kree going with the Avengers and the Skrulls with Fantastic Four makes sense to me.

When did Sony have the right to use Kingpin in cartoons? I thought the reason we got Tombstone as the mob boss in Spectacular Spider-Man was that they couldn't use Kingpin.

Also, aren't (at least some) characters important to multiple franchises usable by both licensees? Or is Quicksilver a unique case?

Quick question...I finally saw GOTG today. Who is Star Lord's father? Did they reveal that in the comics?

 

An alien named J'son of Spartax.  He is the emperor of the Spartoi empire in the comics.  \

 

However, James Gunn said he doesn't like J'Son and his father in the movies will not be J'Son of Spartax.
