oh man this just went cock up, ed's a genius writer
 
I swear to fuck if I have to explain this one more goiddamn time. Are people really this ignorant. It should be common knowledge by now.

Yes, Marvel created the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Spider-Man. However, they do not own the film rights to those characters. This was because long ago, Marvel was going under and they sold off a bunch of movie rights to other companies. In 2008, Marvel came out with Iron Man and started a connected universe of films. However, they have still not bought the rights back to those other characters. DFor reference, here are Marvel's movies. These are the one sthat have been released and the ones that are coming.

Iron Man
The Incredible Hulk
Iron Man 2
Thor
Captain America: The First Avenger
The Avengers
Iron Man 3
Thor: The Dark World
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Guardians of the Galaxy
The Avengers: Age of Ultron
Ant-Man
Captain America 3

Everything else is not part of this shared universe.

These trailers are pretty good. I'm definitely getting a "Chronicles of Riddick" kind of feel.

I'm interested in what Marvel's attempt at sci-fi will turn out to be, considering what a huge sci-fi junkie I am.
 
long story short and i'm probably missing some things and more than likely over-simplifying it

Sony owns the film rights to Spider-Man.
Fox owns the film rights to X-Men and Fantastic Four.

Marvel Studios owns film rights to just about everything else and these films all tie into each other along with their short films, Agents of SHIELD and the upcoming Agent Carter, thus creating the MCU.

dammit gp stop being faster than me

Does it really fucking matter? It's still a movie based on a MARVEL comic book!

doesnt matter as movie rights operate entirely different outside some comics.

This thread is not about marvel movies in general. It's for the certain films in this universe.
