I'll put it like this. If Blade and Swamp Thing had movies then it's hard to tell which characters will get movies in the future. Moon Knight, The Goon, Nova, Adam Warlock, Invincible, Dead Man, Madman, Bone etc. Any of them could be great feature film characters given the right script. They've barely scratched the surface of comic characters in movies at this point. There have been some bad comic based movies over the years. Spawn, Captain America, Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider, Daredevil, Elektra, The Punisher "new and old version", the list goes on and on. Now that Marvel has more control of the films based on their characters we're going to see better movies. I say bring 'em on.
Have any of you guys watched the Fantastic Four movie that was made in the 90's? I vaguely remember reading about it back in the day, and I've heard that it's floating around, but I've never watched it. Where can I find it?

There's an old vhs I own, don't remember which one, but it has the old FANTASTIC FOUR trailer on it. I "THINK" I saw this movie when I was a kid but have no recollection, but the trailer definitely made me want it, just because it looked so over the top, and cheesy. Like the stretch arms across the screen, although the thing, and dr. doom do look badass, wish I remembered what tape that's on.
tried to go see the new IRON MAN over this weekend, and I know I said I thought it looked like a rental, but over the past few weeks, it changed my mind. I don't have an open day to see it until next week though, bummer.

This one
lol, that was pretty cheesey... sadly I think the thing actually looked better in this one than the new one.
The movie never actually released, you can find it floating around the net, but it's like, garbage pail kids bad... Stan Lee said in an interview with Kevin Smith that the movie never intended to release, the studio had purchased rights to the franchise and it was about to expire, so they threw a movie together and never released it.

Just watched some Youtube videos of that...the guy who played Dr. Doom is basically the best actor ever.

Saw it last night, WOW. As good as Spider-Man 2, maybe better, I dunno, I have to live with it awhile.Quote:
What I had heard a while back was Marvel, after starting to produce their own movies with Iron Man and the Incredible Hulk being the first films done this way, that they wanted to make Ant-Man, Thor and Captain America into their own films and then make an Avengers movie, with Favreau stating he would like to direct it. That way these characters would all be handled by one studio, Paramount, and be fully produced by Marvel so they would be able to make an Avengers film they would want to make.
It's risky IMO. I think it could work, but there are alot of challenges. Marvel's Thor (my fav comics character BTW) has never been done well in any other medium aside from comic books. It's a challenging character to do in a serious way. Someone already mentioned Hank Pym above. Captain America on the other hand... absolutely. Especially if the first Avengers film is the resurrection of WW2 era Cap or if Cap gets his own movie beforehand.
Would love to see Avengers done well, but I would hate to see it end up as a modernized version of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (or god forbid Misfits of Science  ). League X was okay, but it really had alot of problems, not the least of which was character depth and pacing. It'd be a triumph of movie making to have five (or so) main characters, do the setup, explain everybody's motivations, etc. in two hours. More often than not they can't even pull this off very well in the comics themselves.
On a side note, there is enough Marvel movie cannon out there now for a small but impressive Avengers line-up: Iron Man, Hulk, Spider-Man and Wolverine. Also the Beast if you really want to stretch it.

Personally I think it's awesome that Marvel is going to have more say so in what their characters are being used in. This could mean shitty Fantastic 4, Hulk, Daredevil, Punisher, Elektra and Ghost Rider movies will be a thing of the past. Then there's the possibility of Marvel's many talented writers becoming major hollywood players in the next decade or so...
I would be willing to bet the Avengers line up for the inevitable movie will be
Iron Man
Captain America
Hank Pym (Ant Man/Giant Man/Yellowjacket? Who knows?)
Wasp
Vision
Hawkeye
Scarlet Witch (I'm not too sure about this one.)
There may be several others thrown in, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting to see spidey, wolverine or any other major player do more than a cameo.
Cap will be getting his own movie before The Avengers is tackled, and his movie will probably lead into the Avengers film. The scene at the end of Iron Man makes me think it's going to come about in some way similar to the synopsis below.
Nick Fury mentioning The Avengers Initiative in Iron Man leads to Iron Man appearing in The Incredible Hulk. That would lead to Iron Man and Hulk appearing in Captain America. Lastly The Avengers would form in their own movie with Iron Man and Cap fronting the team in a battle to take out The Hulk. All the while Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. will be pulling the strings and calling the shots. CLASSIC!!!
Marvel having more influence in their character's films is a great thing if you ask me...

Not sure about anyone making an appearance in the Captain America, the timelines don't mesh, I believe he was frozen in ice for a while(the more modern take, think it was suspended animation in the original comics) so they could semi-realistically bring him into the modern age for a modern avengers. They may have to do this to make it work out.

I haven't run this down as official or anything, but I did hear that Marvel Entertainment issued a statement that they do intend to release feature film versions of Captain America and Thor in the foreseeable future.
