Marvel has certainly been doing things right with their own properties, and I am sure if there was some legal clause they could provoke, they would recind all the rights out there and take back their franchises so it was all under one roof.
Well there is a Marvel Creative Commitee over at the House of M, which consists of Joe Quesada, Dan Buckley, and Kevin Feige. These are the guys you have to pitch to make it happen.
Marvel writer Brian Bendis was part of a meeting to discuss the upcoming Thor and the Avengers films.
“That was probably the most fun I’ve had. We had a really good time talking about the characters and how they’ll interact and who the villain is… and what the point of it is. Even as an Avengers writer, I was like whoa. It’s way cool. I can’t even believe it.”
He then goes on to explain that Thor is going to be the biggest surprise from the films that Marvel is currently making.
“Thor is an extravaganza. The artwork is unbelievable… They flew us all here because Kenneth Branagh wanted to tell us his Thor movie and he pitched it live. It was Shakespearean and went on for hours.”
He wasn’t high selling it. He is an actor and he just sold it. I looked to Joe [Quesada] and went ‘Isn’t this fun?’ When he was done, we were like ‘Great! You should do that!’
Sounds like everyone is on board, and I have yet to find a reason not to have faith in Marvel Studios, so this only makes me more excited for the films.
