Also if this is so, are these expiration’s known at all via the public, or are they all completely private?

Thanks in advance for any answers.

Here’s hoping they get Daredevil back too, but because of Elektra they have to wait until 2015. But it looks like Fox already has plans for preproduction on a reboot so I guess it might not happen. Ghost Rider is such an awesome character and Sony has done such an awful job with him IMO I really hope they hang it up and let Marvel have him again. They can’t be making any profit on these films. He cameo’d well in the old Fantastic Four Series on fox but they don’t seem to know how to market the team in films.

While I don’t mind seeing Sony reboot spiderman, Raimi’s hatred for venom and obsession with Sandman ruined S3 when 2 was such a great film (1 is overrated IMO mainly by people who the whole spiderman thing was new to IMO same with X-men 1). I would like to see Spiderman and Kingpin in the same film though I wonder if Marvel can just give them those rights if they get Daredevil back.

I refuse to support an FF4 movie in theatres as bad as theyve been, until the rights go back to marvel. Surfer and Galactus in the marvel films would be cool, and then the thing vs hulk is one of his more interesting battles. but if they get johnny I’d be looking to see him race Ice-man of x-men.
Finally speaking of X-men, First Class was great and Marvel has their hands full with the Avengers cast. Wouldnt mind seeing how First Class series plays out and if they can do a solo Wolverine film right. X2 was great but X3 was so bad, Im convinced Marvel is the only studio that could do the phoenix saga justice.

And with respect to DC comics, apart from Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, i don’t think enough of their characters are well known enough outside of the geeky comic book world to be made into movies. I must confess, I have always been more of a Marvel fan, as I find their characters and stories more complex, easier to relate to and more realistic (Marvel characters often make mistakes or bad decisions. Their relationships with partners or each other isn’t always perfect. Sometimes doing the right thing occasionally has unforeseen bad outcome. It is rare that such things happen in DC with their main characters, with the exception of Batman).

Avoid as much CGI as possible and try your damnedest not to purposely rip-off Batman any more than you already have with the whole crazy rich white boy thing.

Otherwise, don’t even waste your time.

Id like to see somone portray Wolverine as i seen him on the 90′s animated X-Men Series. But till then, i’ll settle with Jackman. They should of someone taller than James Marsden as Cyclops.

I’ll agree to the fact that Spiderman 3 felt more like a franchise milk movie than an actual sequel, especially as far as casting goes. As much as I like Topher Bell and wish we saw more on-screen time with him, I really felt that he was a total disconnect from one of the most powerful and deep characters in the Spiderman franchise. Venom is one part anti-hero and one part sadistic ruthlessness. All they did with the character was make him a vengeance seeker, aka a black and white (no pun intended) cut out villain. They could have put Madonna in the Venom suit and garnered the exact same reactions. It just felt like so many wasted opportunities in the name of shameless merchandise advertisement.

As far as Punisher goes, I think the one with Thomas Jane was the best I’ve seen. That movie made me invest into the comics and seek out other works by Jane as well. Jane really carried the movie which is surprising because stellar lifter John Travolta usually carries movies. I think given the one dimensional archetypical character John played, he did relatively well but I thought the actors that really shined were his tenants and really looked forward to this farked up kind of alley cat family they had. I was really looking forward to a sequel with all of them back in it together but alas, we got a money maker and not a franchise driver with Warzone.
