Since Avengers vs. X Men hit shelves, fans have wondered if a big screen adaptation of this work. I do think it could, personally. True, there are problems, but I've found away around most of them. Here would be a few examples:
1. Too long: Yes, making a very long film is a very big issue. In this case, a ten hour movie would be needed just to cover everything in the series. But, obviously, the best way around this is to split the film into sepreate parts. That way the whole story gets covered.
2. Studios coming together: An issue that is the reason we won't see the X Men, Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Silver Surfer and Spiderman join the Marvel Universe. Because Spiderman is in this, Sony and Coulmbia Studios will have to help with it as well. Paramount and Fox have worked together in the past on Titanic, so teaming up to make more money won't be too hard for them.
3. Too many characters: Same as the first one. Once again, same soulution. Yes, a lot of the same characters appear in just about every issue, but get the actors that are needed. I'm willing to hear casting calls for characters that haven't been on the big screen.
4. Budget: This may be the worst problem. I can't imagine a budget for a movie like this, but I'll guess it'll be $200,000,00. Just a guess. But since the studios are coming together, it won't be much of an issue. That, of course, would require problem 2 to work.
Well, that's all the problems going against it. Yes, these factors do go against this movie getting made, but the problems are easier to solve then the studios think. There are a few things that don't need to be solved.
1. Comic book fans will go see it: If you're a big comic book fan like me, you wouldn't pass up the chance to see this on the big screen. The reason these kinds of films are successful is the fact many people are comic book fans and love to see their favourite characters on the big screen.
2. The character interactions: The Avengers was hyped because fans couldn't wait to see characters from different movies coming together and interacting. This is what will drive this film should it happen. Wether they're teaming up or fighting, the interactions will be the highlights of the film.
3. The actors: Another thing that drove Avengers is it's great cast. Adding them, the ones that haven't been put on film in live action, Andrew Garfield, and the cast of X Men into one film is going to attract a bigger crowd then just comic fans. I'm willing to bet that a lot of people went to see The Avengers, The Amazing Spiderman, and the X Men films just because the films had their favourite actors.
4: The success: With the first 3 named, there's no way this wouldn' be a commercial and universal sccuess. Comic book fans would go see and fans of the actors would go see it. The money that this would make is something only the three studios have dreamt of.
Well, that's my thoughts on why this would work as a film. Yes, I listed the cons, but solved them too. The pros didn't need to be worked out. Share your thoughts on this topic.
