You may (and probably will) disagree, but in Mark Millar’s point of view, Fox movies are not that far away from reaching Marvel Studios in terms of quality. In the consultant’s own words:
“You grew up with the superhero market, and the superhero market is all about press, and superhero fans were down on Fox for years. Then like Fantastic Four movies, they hit – Elektra and everything – but then I always say, ‘Look how good the X-Men films were.’ Really, if you run through them X 1, X 2, The Wolverine, there’s some really high quality stuff there.
I’d say the hit rates are as good as Marvel’s. It’s better than Sony’s, better than Universal’s. I think Fox is spending the money. They are really getting the big directors and they are getting the big writers. I know they pay much more than Marvel or DC in terms of the talent they attach to the things. So I just think as a comic fan I love having that Fox stuff there.”
Obviously, in a matter subjective such as this, we would not expect anything different from Fox consultant. Furthermore, he shares his opinion concerning the film rights of Marvel characters:
“You know, they’ll talk about Marvel, ‘Wouldn’t it be brilliant to have everything back under one roof?’ I always say, ‘You would have less movies coming out.’ People don’t realize this. No studio is going to bring out more than three or four movies a year. So you have Guardians of the Galaxy this year, you do Fantastic Four next year. So I think the system we’ve got right now is great. And I’m having a nice time with these guys (at Fox).”
So what do you think? Should Fox continue to have the rights over X-Men and Fantastic Four, or they should revert back to Marvel Studios? And which studio is making the best high quality movies in the moment? Share your thoughts below.
