Written by GLMarvel Studios has released a little bit of gossip about what's up in the cinemas for this coming lifetime. And, let me say, we've got such a wide range to expect.
'I have a writer on Captain America right now, (and) hoping to get a director on that very soon to get that into the pipeline within the next year. Same thing with Thor,' said Kevin Feige, of Marvel Studios. The Thor script has been delivered and the Captain America one is being written (for all you fans out there).
Feige talked a bit more about Captain America: 'We'll have to play with Captain America as being a patriotic propaganda machine on one hand but also being a very human Steve Rogers. An interesting, fascinating hero in his own right.' Is the script they're developing a period (like World War era) piece? 'Right now what we're developing would be about half and half.'
And what is the status of the Wolverine spinoff? "We have not signed a director yet. Fox has not signed a director yet... there's a lot of people in the mix. It's hard, I think it's very close. I think Wolverine will be released first (before Magneto).'
He added that for The Punisher 2, 'Lionsgate is putting that one (script) together with us right now. I think they'll be announcing a director in the near future and another star in the near future. The only reason I have any interest in doing another Punisher movie is to do a better Punisher movie. And if Marvel felt we wouldn't be able to do that, we wouldn't make it. We have a director, we'd like to announce an actor and a director together.'
What about a Ghost Rider 2, any plans? 'Not that I've heard, I know they're promoting the DVD right now. But no discussions yet.'
For the big screen Sub-Mariner adaptation, 'Jonathan Mostow is doing a rewrite on the script with the intention to direct, and that script should be coming in in a few weeks.'
Feige said that an Avengers movie could be possible in the future. 'What was preventing certain characters from crossing over in the past is they were all divvied up for different studios with gates between them and they couldn't play in the same sandbox. Now we have Hulk, and Thor and Captain and Iron Man and Ant Man... it would certainly indicate to me that it might be fun to see them all in the sandbox at one point. But certainly we're introducing them and building them in their own franchises first.' Zak Penn will write the script for the film.
After the Iron Man movie, the second one out of the gate for Marvel Studios' independently-produced slate is Hulk. The Hulk movie will be different from the first one 'cause this one will be good,' said Feige. 'There are certain elements of the first film that I'm proud of, there are other elements that I'm not. In looking to reboot and start the franchise fresh and new, we wanted to start with a clean slate.'
Ooooo, are you all in for the huge, huge superhero rush! Just looking at the line-up is simply amazing. How good are they all going to be and how cool the merchandise for these films is going to be are two questions that we cannot answer before the time actually comes for them to be released.
Superheroes united; for it is our time. This is our time.
