Disney Want Marvel Movie Character Rights Back From Sony And Fox!

Rotten bastards! Get them home where they belong. Hopefully them fan-dangled lawyers can find a loophole and pull them back to Marvel/Disney

Cool find JoshW

This really sucks for marvel. Smh. Fox totally screwed them. And spider man 3 was no masterpiece. Let's not even get on wolverine. Marvel has done an outstanding job in their own cinematic universe though. Somethings gotta give so that marvel can have their properties back.

It's about time Marvel-Disney smacked these guys around for screwing up. I hope this works out.

Man...why'd MARVEL give out their property anyways? :'(

Well this is what happens when you make deals with devil or in this case devils. YOUR SOUL IS MINE!

@ joshw

this is a good news that disney want these charactors back.

disney & marvel studios vs sony & 20th century fox.

what a lawsuit this could be.

the thing i hate most about fox is the mistreatment of charactors i.e x-related,daredevil & the fantastic four.

for example fox own the rights to key charactors such as scarlett witch,quicksilver,namor & the original human torch.

all these charactors could come in handy for marvel with future products such as captain america & the avengers 2.

fox has no plans in using them but won't give them up for marvel to use in their movies.

this is why fox ceo's are a bunch of pricks.

& i hope their comic book movies fail.

I want civil war!..that is all

It would be epic to see these characters cross over into other Marvel movies! Sadly, I can't see it happening. I don't mind these other studios holding the rights as long as they make decent movies that are respectful to the source. Notice the word "respectful", I can handle liberties being taken and changes being made but when this hurts the original character and/or their universe it's gone too far.

X-Men is a prime example of consistant continuity screw ups! Characters were introduced in such a careless manner it literally destroyed not only their own but other characters backgrounds. This meant completely changing who the characters are!

That comment from FOX doesn't fill me with confidence either! If they were to pull themselves together, turn things around and make decent CBM's I'd have a lot of respect for them. But it's clear they don't give a rats ass about anything but money and control.

At best we can hope for respect for the source from these studios and maybe a little co-operation with Marvel in order for them to make the best possible movie. But even that looks like a far away dream.

You know how to get fox to give of up the rights to their characters? Do not go and see the movie, but people will still go. Im pretty sure people will be rushing to see Wolverine 2 and the new X-men movie so they will never give up those rights lol

It's a great day in America when contracts are actually upheld. Marvel made these deals and Disney knew they existed when they bought marvel. Deal with it. All you people who keep saying give the rights back why the hell would they do that? Whether you think there bad movies or not they make a shitload of money and fox and Sony should do whatever it takes to keep them. I would expect nothing less

@ DCFan

Fox didn't screw anyone, lol. Marvel sold them the rights fair and square. Its not Fox's fault. Its not like they stole them at gun point.

I vote we bulldoze Fox Headquarters and bitch slap the execs

don't underestimate the power of the mouse. I'm sure they can make some sorta of deal with Fox or Sony.

Seriously, anyone thinking these characters will be treated better over at Disney is a little nuts. Fantastic 4 will turn into watered down family fun crap aimed at 8 year olds(Think No Ordinary Family). Do you really think Disney will let Daredevil go stomping around Hell's kitchen looking for a mass murderer name Bullseye? On top of that Disney is infamous for putting out high budget movies then following them up with less than amusing direct to video drivel that usually won't even budget the same actors to return.
The house of Mouse may look like a champion on paper but all of you will be whining when they go into full swing with some of your favorite darker characters

It's simple people.
Instead of bitching, don't go see Marvel Movies not made by marvel, trash them every chance you get and tell friends to trash them and not go see them.

I agree, CorndogBurglar.They purchased the rights fair and square.Why would they even considering giving them back?They are extremely profitable.Of course they're going to hold on to the rights forever.It would be incredibly stupid not to.Especially because Disney wants them back so bad.

I'm not the biggest fan of Fox,I also don't share the ridiculous bias alot of other people do.But, I think it's a little underhanded for Disney to be attempting to find loopholes in the contracts when Fox clearly has a legal right to keep the properties for as long as they want.
