RUMOR: The Skrulls Will Reportedly Make Their Live-Action Debut In X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX

Hopefully Skrulls will be pulled off better than mind control that has been shown so far. I hate it when a hero is put on screen and that hero is mind controlled and a douchebag as a result. Hawkeye in Avengers 1 is an example. Let us at least really get to know the character before you take over his mind so we know the loss of him being turned. Hulk in Avengers 2 is another case. I want Banner fighting Stark, not mind controlled Banner. I want Hulk being the best Hulk, not being stupid mind controlled Hulk.
You wait and wait for your hero to appear on screen after years and then they are mind controlled and you feel like your money was stolen from you.
If you are going to do Skrulls mimicking heroes then make sure we get to know the characters and care about them first. Let the heroes be presented on screen (what people have waited for) before you water them down.

@JonC - I agree, mind control is [frick]ing cheap and I'm tired of it littering our stories.

I mean, I know, part of what makes comicbooks so great is the tropes, but this one has been overused in a cheap way too many times.

@RorMachine - bwhahahahahahahahahaha... didnt they do the same thing with QUICK SILVER? I mean, honestly, if anyone thinks Marvel FOX and MARVEL DISNEY are making deals behind the scenes... this pretty much proves that aint even close to reality.

@PBIRD - Quicksilver and Scarlett witch is differ because Marvel and Fox share the character name rights only. Marvel does not share their race, origin, or any mutant related characteristics. They cheated fox by making their powers ambigious as super speed and magic is not owned by any1.

But fox technically shares inhumans and black panther too as they all appeared in F4 1st. So fox can pull a [frick] u to Marvel by making generic rip offs too appear on film.

They also share rogue and wolverine too as those 2 appeared in hulk and captain marvel issues 1st.

@JustAChillFan - No they share them. A lawsuit was filed by Fox against Marvel back in 2002 when they tried making generation x without fox's approval. Through that lawsuit it was revealed what characters they shared like black panther, inhumans, rogue, hulk (with universal), etc. It was revealed they share any characters of a "property they own/sold to another" if that character appeared in another comic 1st. they share rogue because she appeared in avengers annual 1st and wolverine as he appeared in incredible hulk comic 1st.

Fox can have black panther appear on film its just they wont be able to use any characteristics MCU owns like Wakanda, his suit, etc. But its legally possible because Marvel did it with Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch.

Will they? Probably not
Can they? yes

Sorry its hard to find the source as it was dated too long ago, but i remember what i read as this was huge news in the comic community.

@RorMachine - Well, I know that Fox has rights to named Skrulls.
In a way then MCU can make up new characters for the Skrulls. Be interesting what they come up with. How they operate and their motives could be different.
E.g instead of Klrt there could be a Skrull with a mix of Thor, Cap Marvel, Stark, Hulk and Spider-Man. Or some such mashup. They will not be as confined to the named Skrulls like X-Men will be. But we shall see.

@mastakilla39 - That isn't true. At all.

Wolverine appeared in a Hulk comic first. Marvel can't use him.

Sabretooth appeared in an Iron Fist comic first. Marvel can't use him.

It doesn't matter where their first appearance happened. Its all about their level of importance to each side.

For instance. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch appeared in X-Men first. But they have a long history being both X-Men AND Avengers. So they aren't really specific to either X-Men OR Avengers. So both can use them.

@mastakilla39 - Do you honestly think that Marvel would hesitate for a second to use a character like Wolverine if they could?

@CorndogBurglar - correct me if im wrong, but QS and SW were never X-Men members.

@SageMode - For these movie talks its just easier to group all the X-Teams under the X-Men banner when it comes to rights.

But with New Mutants and X-Force coming out soon that may not be the case for long.

@CorndogBurglar - Can't find the sources anymore as this was news way back. A lot of the news reported back in the 2000s to 2008s have all disappeared. Wasn't trying to start a war or anything but I guess I will admit that I could be wrong since I can't find the sources anymore and contract rights could have changed.

Back then a site called Movieweb and SuperGeo(or something similar) use to report a lot of superhero related news but once their website upgraded they removed all their old articles.

Rogue's role was reduced in Xmen:Last Stand because Marvel filed lawsuit using that logic "where since it appeared 1st in our comics we should own Rogue/Wolverine" so fox fired back with the rights to use "inhuman characters (not the race as they don't own that), black panther, and many other villains that appeared in the properties they bought." But the court ruled in favor of Fox and Marvel was forced to pay fox millions of dollars in damage and that's why they still hate each other. They only reconciled last summer with Legion, Gifted, and Deadpool.

@mastakilla39 - you're making shit up and no they dont.

@ODanil - lol fox did quicksilver better so MCU is just hissy fitting by trying to do everything they share 1st even though they cant do much with it.

honestly fox will probably do scarlet witch better too we can actually get a more comic accurate house of m as MCU is too generic
