The Z Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Christ they don't learn do they? Let's wait and see if Deadpool is a success first, before booking a sequel. Well, if Deadpool also fails, they can still replace it with Gambit 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Ryan Reynolds: The man Hollywood tells us should be a major box office star but everyone else is, like, "Eh, this dude? Really?" At least he's better than Chris Pine, I guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I wouldn't believe that rumor. To get Deadpool 2 out by mid-2017, they'd have to start, uh, 6 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 The bar is set really low. They could just throw something together and just hope it doesn't dip below like Rollerball in critical panning. Fox isn't letting go of that date.

TheVileOne Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 They aren't putting Fantastic Four 2 in that date, that's for damn sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I assume they have the rights to Namor, so make a Sub-Mariner movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Universal had the rights to Namor, but apparently Marvel regained them last year (for the most part). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 The Namor rights are in a weird state of limbo between Universal and Marvel, and neither seems to care too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 All they will probably do is find a director willing to take that bullet. "Hey, we got Matthew Vaughn! Everybody likes Matthew Vaughn! He did Layer Cake and that one X-Men movie yall all like." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Z Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Is it possible they're just saying that for now to save face? The movie will still be in theaters for a while, still has to open in some markets and then there's the DVD and BluRay release down the line. If they already outright admitted defeat, that would probably hurt the movie even more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I think they saw what happened with Daredevil. Marvel got him back and cleaned up on Netflix with a critically acclaimed, super successful take on the character. Then used the recently returned Punisher to hype Season 2. Honestly? I think it's worth $200 mil/decade for them just to play keep away. At least in their minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Chris Ryan quote: "I saw this Friday night and it was bad but some of it is piling on by people who weren't given materials they are used to. [comic book websites rely on teasers, clips, etc.]. It wasn't any stupider than Ultron. It's not written as well and the characters aren't as interesting but it's pretty much your standard superhero dumb plot." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sounds like an idiot, and they did release all those materials for the film. They even did a stupid video series with scientist Michio Kaku explaining how the science of Fantastic Four could actually work in real life.

Brysynner Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Fox swears they aren't giving up on the F4. Fox will never give up the F4 rights there's no reason to give them up. Disney/Marvel is not going to give them the sweetheart deal they gave Sony for Spider-Man so it makes no sense for Fox to give up the rights. By the way the movie made 60-67m opening weekend (Foreign and domestic) so making only approx. 50% of the budget back isn't great, it could've been a lot worse. I think it can still come close to breaking even after it's run in theaters and DVD/Blu-Ray/Digital sales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't make even half on opening weekend (if you believe the unconfirmed 120 million figure) worldwide. It's dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
