ORIGINAL: 12 Space Monkeys Cheers Marwood, aggreed and is there a list of characters > filmrights amywhere? just so i know. I'd recomend a tv series (like Smallville) to accompany the films, starting with somone with a new power/idea and want to do good and meets other heros and villans along the way, spiderman would have been ideal but many others would work just as well, like Luke Cage. This could have a season finalle that leads into A2, next season being the cleanup. (side note, DC droped the ball and should have spun Smallville into a JLA movie or at least hinted somthing in GL, this is where marvels going right) Still waiting on deadpool No idea about an official rights/character list but as far as I'm aware it's broken down like so at the moment: 20th Century Fox: X-Men (including Wolverine and Deadpool plus basically any "mutant" characters), Fantastic Four (including Silver Surfer), Daredevil (until October), Elektra Sony: Spider-Man (including Venom which is apparently a solo film under development), Ghost Rider ...and I believe Marvel/Disney have everything else although there are some characters which are debatable like Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch which apparently both Marvel and Fox have claim to as those 2 are prominent Avengers related but also mutants and Magneto's children. Last I read both companies could apparently use them in separately produced films without breach of rights. Weird. As for TV Marvel are developing something that exists within The Avengers movie universe with Joss Whedon being involved somewhere - I expect it will be SHIELD related personally and probably some procedural/sci-fi adventure mish-mash. Could be cool especially if they were able to secure some of the film characters for cameos or guest spots. I've always liked the idea of Daredevil and Punisher TV shows as well - I feel those characters are better suited for series rather than films personally and if handled right they could be more adult and edgier than a Marvel/Disney film would likely allow. With you on the idea of a Luke Cage series too, hell maybe for street level heroes mentioned in my last post they should build a TV series universe with those guys wandering in and out of each other's shows. Apparently FOX TV were/are developing a Punisher show but it sounded like cack - Frank Castle is a cop by day, vigilante by night. Fuck off FOX. Re a Deadpool film - I would really like to see a 4th wall breaking, cartoonishly violent version like the modern comics and according to various hype talk from producers since it was announced that is apparently the way they want to go; reboot it from the character seen in Wolverine but keep Ryan Reynolds on board. Honestly I don't expect it to happen or at least it will probably end up differently to what they've proposed but still, live in hope.
